Weekend. Plans. Done. Here comes some inspiration:
Two become one from Lindsay at Country Girl Home. For some reason I keep invisioning this one with red handles. That would knock it right off the cuteness meter.
Whitney from the Kenworthy’s got some help from her friend Rachelle to finish this bad boy. Looks so crisp and classy now!
April at Frilly Frolic helped her mother (who has arthritis) redo this hutch from 1000 miles away! She was so proud of her Mama when she saw the final results, that she wanted to share it with the world!
I’m loving this cool gray background on Better After reader Melise’s hutch.
And last one from Leah at Little Place Called Home Sweet Home who proves that chicken wire can be chic, and who I’m extra fond of just because her blog is playing my current favorite song.
Have a great weekend friends! As always, thank so much for reading this here blog, and for all your sweet comments and emails! Now go makeover something and send me the pictures!

February 26, 2011 at 12:13 AMI love your blog! The better afters are always fantastic but it is your wonderfully witty prologue that keeps me smiling all day long! Thanks for everything you do. By the way, I am not yet a member of the IPMHWC. By the time I get to it, we will all be off onto another color.

February 26, 2011 at 1:38 AMFunny timing with this post, because I literally JUST bought the cutest little wood hutch today from the thrift store and was thinking hmm…maybe I’ll paint it white. 🙂

February 26, 2011 at 1:57 AMThese paint jobs each look terrific, but after awhile they all begin to look alike or worse, they become so bland they are just boring.
I sure would like to see some options for painting something other than just plain ole white!
Am I the only one getting tired of all this white??? 🙂

February 26, 2011 at 3:52 AMVery good timing on this post, I’m painting a hutch/china cabinet tomorrow… but as pretty as these are, it’s not going to be white. And it does involve chicken wire 🙂

February 26, 2011 at 9:51 AMAfter seeing that chicken wire, I have to agree that chicken wire can be chic, and it is an inexpensive way to do something that would other wise use glass.

February 27, 2011 at 12:44 AMI’m with Mellodee. I’d like to paint my 50’s style hutch turquoise or red. Love to see some options for people who want bright colors!
It’s awesome to see though, that some of those really ugly 80’s hutch’s can be REALLY pretty with just some paint!

February 28, 2011 at 6:17 AMI am on the prowl for a hutch. I love white, but by the time I get my hands on an inexpensive hutch, I’ll probably no longer want it white, but they all so clean and crisp.
And I’m drawn to this blog because of your humor and wit. You make me laugh!

February 28, 2011 at 5:55 PMLindsey- Thanks so much for posting my hutch. I LOVE all the others. For those of you that don’t love white there is always cream or grey and BLACK-you can’t go wrong with black.
