Before

After
This hutch is ever so slightly grey. I have placed a white chair that we recently refinished beside it to display the contrast. I love this hutch because it is quite simple with its straight lines and it reminds me of an old library hutch. I love the slight dental detail at the top and the curve of the frame against the glass.
We replaced the hardware with a black to accentuate the slightly grey paint color.
The bottom cabinet has a shelf for extra storage. These types of hutches can be used in so many places in a home. They are a wonderful greeting piece in an entry way. They provide for tons of storage in a bathroom or they are a great place to display pictures, books and clocks in a bedroom or family sitting area. And then it can also be used in a more conventional way which is in a dining area displaying beautiful china and kitchenware.I am back. I enjoyed a wonderful very busy hectic "vacation" with family in Southern California. Quite honestly I did not know if I was going to even make it out there due to a horrible snow storm that delayed our flight. Our flight was delayed a couple of hours and one hour of that was sitting on the plane waiting for take off. The gentleman sitting behind me looked just like the lead actor in the television show "Bones". I did not think much of it especially when he started telling the flight attendant he was claustrophobic and I could see he was having an anxiety attack. He traded my sister places and so I proceeded to tell him he looked like a guy on t.v. He said - yeah that is me. They finally made room for him up in first class - thank heavens because one of the next throw ups came in the aisle right next to his previous seat. Oh can you even believe it! My other sister was battling her two year old who was having a major major melt down! Screaming her head off. I asked the flight attendant if I could get off the flight but my sister said - let's just get through it. Believe me I could see it on the face of everyone around just "willing" us to leave. We were quite a spectacle. Well after two more throw ups and arriving at our hotel at 4:00 am we made it. Despite the baby meltdowns and a touch of the flu we had a great time.

And while I was gone Mike enjoyed the flu as well but was able to complete this hutch as well as a white dining set that I will be posting shortly. I just love it! The chair pictured above is a sneak peak!
