I've been busy the last few days transforming big and little things around our house. Right now, I'm working on this:
I really, really, really want to quit. So far this week I've painted the laundry room cupboards, one shelf, one mirror, a bedroom door, a closet door, and re-touched almost all the cabinets in the kitchen (pictures coming soon). Painting the hutch just may push me over the edge. This is what happens when the sun comes out, the air warms up, and I can send my kids outside. Too bad it didn't last more than a couple days!
I'm trying to motivate myself to finish by imagining a pretty little hutch (too bad there's nothing little about it, that thing is a monstrosity) to display things like this in:
In the meantime, I am thoroughly enjoying this early birthday present from my mom. I found it last Saturday at Goodwill. Occasionally Goodwill receives items from Target and I was lucky enough to find this wonderful chair. It has two small scratches, one visible, one not. It was a fabulous find!

I've been wanting to do my hutch for years - do you want to come paint mine next? Please? And I too love those Target bargains at Goodwill. Good find!
I just wish some of your energy and talent and motivation would rub off on me. Please just a little bit.....
Kim-
I am so realizing that I just bit off more than I can chew! And we definitely need a playdate or girls night...With you too Jodi!
First of all, I never find anything at Goodwill. I can't even find a used Scrabble game, much less a really nice chair.
Second, don't quit now! The hutch is looking so good! I want to see it all finished and the dishes inside!!
Where did you put our other chair?
Its in the same spot its always been, I thought, but maybe not since you remember it being there where the new one is. I've had it under the mirror for a really long time and am about to add some frames around the mirror to finish that spot up.
