A week or so ago I hinted at a project I was working on. The goal was to have more storage for books.
My sister was getting rid of a hutch she no longer wanted and I took it. I decided not to use the top of the hutch for now and just use the bottom part. It was a little worn in spots but the wood finish didn't go with my other pieces of furniture so I went ahead and painted it.
Before:
I wanted this piece to look like my desk so I used the same process I used on that. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
After:
The cabinet part of the hutch has shelves inside. I'm storing my biographies, cookbooks, poetry books and coffee table books in there. The drawers have nature guides, my stamp collection, my chargers and electronic cords, and a few odds and ends. It really holds a lot and I'm so happy to have more storage space.

A great transformation! In my opinion, you can never have too much storage. And I love your cardinal teapot:)
It looks great! What a wonderful piece for storage and for arranging pretty vignettes as you have done.
You did a wonderful job on the finish. More storage is always useful.
