China hutch make-over

I saw this idea on Little Green Notebook, went out that night with a bit of my birthday money, and bought myself some paper and double sided tape. I have never used paper to do anything like this before so I kind of picked a bad one to match the pieces up with, but I still love it!

If you click on the picture it will show you a full sized view and you can see the paper better. It brightens it up so much that you can actually see what I have in there.

This is the only picture I could find, but you can see how dark it was in there before. I've wanted to do something about this forever, but refuse to paint over the wood. This was perfect. And I can change it whenever the fancy hits me.
My project now is to put my prettier dishes in it, since they will be visible now. And I'm itching to buy paint, really want to paint my kitchen and dinning room and I've been in a big blue mood lately.

And this is just a random photo I came across. The girls are working together on a project and you can see the concentration. Serious work. And they're cute.

Your hutch looks really good. It is a really good idea. I wish I had a china hutch, my wedding china is stacked in a cupboard.

Your hutch is very Spring-y now. I like that you can change it out whenever you want...that is a fun idea and it will be fun to play around with.

Your girls ARE super cute...I love the little Lily just squatting there and she is still round and chubby...I just want to pick her up and cuddle her. That is so nice of Lauren to let her help.

I thought about this in the car the other day and couldn't remember if you pronounce Lauren..."LAR-en" or LOR-en"...and it is important that I know so when I read her name I say it right.

And what a hubby you have...way to be productive...lime flank steak sounds really good.

Really nice! I'm doing the same thing soon...I found a hutch on Craigslist. I read that blog everyday!

Laura, It's pronounced like your name, La-ren. I really am not a fan of Lo-ran. Picky me.
