Oh my goodness! After what seemed like an eternity of stalking Craigslist, thrift stores and yard sales I finally found a kitchen hutch that I love!
Alright… saying I love it might be a slight exaggeration. It’s true that I really wanted an old school china cabinet with scrolly feet and hand carved doors. My dream kitchen hutch would look like this Shabby Kitchen Hutch Makeover by my sweet friend Cindy from DIY Beautify.
Shabby Kitchen Hutch Makeover by DIY Beautify
This piece fits the space, has a drawer, and shelves for displaying my treasures. It also came way under my budget of $100.
So far under budget I paid $35 for it! Wahoo!
Unfortunately $35 is pretty much all it’s worth. Trust me.
But there is great potential. The hutch has great lines, crown molding, a stained top I like, and a light to illuminate all my pretties.
Let me show you what I found…
Okay. That was the good stuff.
Bare with me as I share the list of repairs with you. I am holding myself accountable by putting this whole project out there in blogland.
The back piece for the bottom of the hutch is completely missing but I do have the two shelves that go inside.
One of the door knobs is missing. That’s not a biggie since I will want to replace all of them with something a bit less “woody”. 
That repair list may not look like much but this will be the first time I have ever taken on a furniture makeover of this size. I hope you will stick around to see the outcome of this $35 Kitchen Hutch.
Crossing my fingers it all goes to plan!
Your comments totally make my day! They give me huge motivation to keep creating and having fun with my 3 Little Greenwoods!

What a great deal! for $35 those repairs are totally worth it! It’s going to be great when it’s all fixed up! Great find Ashley!
I know! you should have seen me throw Tootsie in the carseat and head to that garage sale!
What a fabulous find, Ashley! It is going to look amazing. And $35?! Wow. That’s an awesome deal!
I’ve got to talk Honey into seriously helping me on this one. But he will be so excited to get it out of the garage I’m sure he will be willing! 😉
Such a neat project!
Thanks for joining the Link Up this week!
So much potential! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. And way to go for scoring a hutch for $35!! I thought ours was a craigslist steal at $50. 🙂
I LOVE it!! I can’t wait to see your finished product! 🙂 Dawn @ 730 Moments

Yay!! So excited for you Ashley! Can’t wait to see how you pretty it up 😉
Thanks so much! I’m still kinda wishing I had found a scrolly hutch like your but when I found this one at $35, I couldn’t pass it up!
Isn’t it fun to see beauty in those things that need a little work. I guess I can relate to that personally! 🙂 Thanks for a creative post!!
I can’t wait to get started on my kitchen hutch! The goal is to get it done before the children are out of school. Wish me luck!
