~ Bed & Breakfast Kitchen Hutch ~

No, I'm not away at some Bed & Breakfast, I'm just pretending I am : ) And as a Miniaturist , I do that a lot :) This is a charming little kitchen hutch I just finished this weekend. We've had the most beautiful weather here this week , ranging from the mid 70's to the low 80's and it's almost like a warm fall day every day. So I'm feeling cozy and cottagey these days :) I've loved every part of making this sweet hutch so I wanted to share....

It started plain white and wound up after carefully layered paints as a pale french blue with antique gold accents and a few layers of wax for that perfect patina. I pretended the entire time I was making one in large size to fit into a Bed and Breakfast kitchen or dining room. Then I baked morning pastries, pancakes with blueberry's, and a few other delicious tasting treats to give it that lived in look. The shelves are lined with cottage prints and the drawers and cabinets are filled with vintage cottage styled kitchenware. Oh what fun! :)

I couldn't resist making a dish towel rack out of a vintage miniature shutter either :) {below left of the hutch}



Then I played with different backdrops (from the beautiful magazine "Summer Cottage--Style with Fresh Charm") and had even more fun :) It seemed to fit in well with any setting..... I love that :)



From cottage french, to shabby chic, and traditional too...I adored this one above and below, what a sweet little vintage tablecloth and what a fabulously warm and homey kitchen setting!





Little pastries for your morning sweet tooth :)



Warm biscuits fresh from the oven, cherry muffins and breakfast crackers, a great way to start the day :)



Sitting at a kitchen table with the sun streaming in and the aroma's of a beautiful day and sweets? I'm in heaven :)


A nice little spot for tea too :)

I just adored making this and now it's back to the drawing board and my "list" for the week. I hope you all enjoyed my tiny tour of the "Bed and Breakfast Cottage" hutch!



I'll leave you with some tasty pancakes and blueberries, and of course the syrup is warm and right from the maple tree out back :)

Don't-cha just love pretending?! :)



Wishing you all a gorgeous and blessed week ahead!

Ps: I've been so busy this summer but I'm looking forward to visiting you all this week and stopping in for some pretend coffee too! :) Thank you for always stopping by and leaving such sweet comments, they mean the world to me and so do YOU!

Hugs and love,

Cynthia xo
