Happy week after Christmas friends!! Have you found a new place to put all the presents or caught up on any sleep?? Maybe even sat on the couch for an hour with your family?? That’s what we’ve been up to! It was so nice having my family together this Christmas (except my brother in law Jess – miss ya!).

It’s a crazy ride squeezing 19 people in my parent small house, but we don’t mind. We actually like the crazy. I love hearing the kids laugh and play with each other. I love the chaos of 9 kids ripping into gifts at the same time. I love sitting in a circle reading Luke 2 and year by year little ones start to read the passage as well. I love my dad’s breakfast.
The bowl of bacon…
And I love these people!!
Let me hear all about yours!! There’s a little comment section below. What’s your favorite moments from this Christmas?

We must move on to the furniture. It’s why you stopped by, right? We have another fun hutch makeover to share. We bought it from a barn sale in Columbia county and all of the proceeds from the sale goes to raise money for an orphanage. A great reason to buy furniture!

Kevin and Melanie came into our store and were going to buy two of our smaller hutches. We started talking about it and they really wanted something that could be a small bar for their home. I mentioned taking this hutch off our upcoming projects page and customizing it into something that would be a better fit for them. They loved the idea and gave me so much creative liberty.

We painted the whole piece using Benjamin Moore’s Glen Ridge Gold and lightly distressed it. The fabric on the back and the hardware is from Hobby Lobby. If you would like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How To Paint Furniture post.

John removed the two top two drawers and boxed them in using the original drawer sides and backs since they were solid wood.

The bottom drawer then had no top so it made it look unfinished. So he cut the top off of the top drawer and attached it to the bottom of the new boxed in section. (He may be a man genius) 

Then built an X inside to store wine bottle. He also installed wine glass holders on the underside of the two shelves of the hutch.

Ready to see it all done? I don’t think you’ll even believe the transformation.

And one more side by side pic for Pinterest. ;)

Thanks so much for the custom order Kevin and Melanie!! I hope you love it for years to come!!

Happy funcycling friends!
