This is my kitchen hutch that started as a road side find...
well, part of it.
This middle part is the "found" part.
It is all wood and it had glass doors and shelves.
I removed the glass doors since 2 small boys and glass doors
wasn't going to work in my home.
On that same roadside, there were also brand new cabinet door fronts
still in the wrappers, and I grabbed them too.
They ended up being an exact fit to apply to the sides for some added dimension.
A while back, I bought a large supply of picture frame molding
from a frame shop that was closing and I've used it for so many projects,
this one included.
It's all mismatched, but I personally love that look.
I used Home Depot fence post finials for the feet.
Click on the "things to make with molding" heading to see all the ways I've used
my picture frame molding
I cut some of the molding down to use as the door handles...
And used more to make the drawer pulls.
I built the two side pieces to match, they are separate from the main hutch.
I built them specifically to my dimensions for the wall in my kitchen.
I bought baskets for storage and it is the perfect spot for school supplies for my boys.
I used more molding to face out the edges of the shelves too.
I primed, painted and applied a dry brushed distressed finish on the
entire piece and painted the inside of the hutch in a bright apple green.
Thanks for checking out my roadside makeover!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI accidentally ran across your kitchen hutch redo when I was googling for an example to show my husband of an idea I have in mind for extra cabinetry we have in our basement left by previous owners. I'd start talking about it and get the *blank stare*, LOL!
This is a perfect example (although I hardly think I can do such a beautiful job) and I'm going to use it as a guide for our project. I've bookmarked your site to look at your other creations.
Thanks! :-)

I would love to have that thing in my house. I think it can make my kitchen look beautiful.
