Between playdates, movie dates, dinner dates, and alone-time-dates, our vacation has been phenomenal so far!!
We've celebrated birthdays, had friends over, prayed for friends of ours that are going through the unthinkable, and taken time to complete a random act of kindness...
While my son had a friend over earlier this week, I tackled my 1st project of vacation...painting the inside of our built-in hutch in the dining room. Our home was built in 1890 (love it!), and our hutch is just one of the many cool things in our old home. I love the neutral tones in our home, and dark woodwork, but our hutch needed something to help make my great aunt's china POP!
Here's what I did...
The inside of my hutch WAS the same color as the walls...
I didn't make a huge change, just a shade or two darker...
I believe my great aunt would love her rose chintz china stacked on one shelf, and my sydenstricker stacked on the next...the darker color adds a little depth to my hutch. I also hung a painting that I completed in college to the upper part...I hope to add in a wine bottle holder someday. I love the simple change! Onto project #2...
