Hutchette

 Nov 12, 2010

You may have already heard that I have a mild phobia of knotty wood. Knotty wood looks like it has eyes that are watching me! It's not like I can't leave the house or anything, it just makes me uncomfortable. A phobiette, I like to call it.


So I am all for painting over those creepy knots, and even going the extra mile, covering them in print! Take that dark empty eyeballs of doom, you can't scare me now! From Diane at In My Own Style. who just wanted to update this hutch and probably didn't really need to know about me and my wood psychosis.

While I'm a wood lover and almost always hate to see wood painted over, I think the new hutch is pretty. I LOVE the newsprint inside the shelving! It gives it a totally different dimension!

As much as I love the Before (knotty wood does not bother me) the white looks glorious. :)

Hi Lindsey! Oh, I love this! Can't believe the difference and the print inside the cabinet looks fantastic. She knows how to decorate it too.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

I have to disagree with this one for sure!! I love the original much more. I like the rustic feel. Sorry for your knotty pine phobia!

The knotty pine look has always been a pet peeve of mine-love the white-clean and fresh and the page lined shelves are really creative!!
