~ Cottage Kitchen find ~

It's been a busy summer here! I've had my Parents here for about a month and we've made such wonderful memories and spent great days together, the weather has been dreamy for sure! Thank goodness!. They will be leaving on Wednesday this week and so it's two more days of packing in some more time together and then off they go , back to Georgia. I will miss them dearly... I've missed all of you too and I'll be back in my routine in a week and finally be able to catch up in the blogging world and I look forward to it! I hope you are all enjoying a great summer!

My Mom and I have been doing some antiquing and the other day we came upon this hutch and you know how it is :) .... you see something and just have to have it! I already had a kitchen hutch that I loved, but I fell in love again :) As soon as I saw the doors on it and the details I squealed with delight , and my Mom agreed, It just had to come live in my kitchen. So now I have 2 great hutches and wanted to share the new "find" with you. Antiquing is a favorite past time of mine, but when you come upon that special something, it makes all the days of rummaging worth it. Sometimes you don't even think you need anything and then it's like it see's you and says "take me home", well that's what happened here... Now every day when I look at it, I will think of my Mom ...
The hutch also gave me a chance to display all my favorite things, and another new find too, I just adore my new pie sign! Farmhouse Country Style has such wonderful country signs and her blog is adorable too! Thanks Dee!

The other hutch I have is an open shelf one, and while I adore it, it seems setting things behind leaded glass doors just adds such vintage charm!

Aren't the doors just stunning?


After I brought home my new find, I had to get on over to Home Goods :) I found this great tray there on clearance for $7.99, again, lol, I squealed with delight :)

Of course, the cherries did it for me right away and the blue too! :)


I gave it a home under my favorite rooster on the kitchen table, I plan on using it to serve things outside so I put it right where I can always grab it....

At first, The new hutch seemed silly, I already had one. But then a bit of rearranging and I knew it would work. I have to admit, lol, I wanted it so badly that even if it didn't work it here, I was determined to find somewhere it did. But I think somethings are just meant to be :)

My old one still has a nice place of honor in the kitchen and the added storage is so needed here! , and thanks to Elyse over at Cottage , the shutters made this hutch a favorite of mine too!

Like I said, I think the doors are what sold me first, but it also has the sweetest crystal knobs also!


Sometimes, it's just one new thing that a kitchen needs, big or small, and you can fall in love all over again...or a Mom who says: " You just have to have it Cynthia"... I think that's what really did it for me :)

I want to thank everyone for all your sweet comments! I know I said this in my last post, and yet haven't found time to get to visit yet, but I am getting around to it this week. Coffee in hand or wine if the evening fits it, I look soooo forward to reading and seeing what you've all been up to!!

I hope you all enjoy a beautiful week ahead!

Much Love and Thanks,

~ Cynthia ~

Hi Cynthia....Wow! Love the hutch and what makes it is the doors! You are lucky you have a kitchen that can hold both hutches since your other one is also too wonderful. Please stop by and see my hutch redo...I am very happy with how it turned out!

hi cynthia!

it sounds like you have been enjoying the most wonderful visit. i'm glad your mom gave you the OK on the hutch because it looks perfect and perfectly cynthia.

i love your decorating fearlessness, like hanging a sign inside the hutch -- awesome. i would never have thought of that but love it, just like how you hung the shutters on both sides of the other. awesome ideas!!!

Ruthann said...

Hey Sugar! It seems like forever since we chatted last! Like you, I have been caught up in the flurry of the summer season with going out of town and having lots of company come visit. I found it almost impossible to get on the computer with a house full of guests! But I just had to come over for a little cottage inspiration...and that is just what I got from you!! Oh my goodness! I can see why you fell in love with that must-have hutch! Soooo adorable! How fun is it going to be for you to decorate it in Fall and Christmas!! ooooweeee! I just gotta tell ya too that I have the same Pie Fixes Everything sign from Dee! Same colors too! LOVE IT!
Have a wonderful week Sugar!
Lots of hugs!
Ruthann

I think this is so funny. It reminded me of a couple that use to shop my store and they bought 3 sideboards and 2 china hutches from me. There was another gal in a shop next to mine and they had already bought 3 hutches from them.
I call them....Gooooood customers.lol So I would love to see you with your mom of course, in my new shop location. I have a darling hutch...I think it will work in your bath..lol

I'm so glad that you have had a great visit with your mom. That is so important. Also I'm glad that she told you that you had to have that hutch! It is so beautiful in your kitchen. I still like your other one too. It doesn't matter if you already had one in there. I love hutches. I have 4 in my cottage and even have one in storage. One day, I'm gonna find a way to queeze it in here! LOL


Your kitchen is so beautiful!

Your Hutch is lovely! Isn't it nice how a little change can make such a difference in a room. I love to have a new spot to display my treasures. I am in the process of a big living room/kitchen redo right now. I get to order my granite counter tops tomorrow and I have been painting. I am glad you have had such a nice visit with your folks!

Cheryl B. said...

Those doors are fan-tab-u-lous!!! My dining room has this opening in one wall, it was 'suppose' to be a built in hutch - with leaded glass doors on the top, and drawers on the bottom down to the register. When we moved in, we were renting from friends . . . and his sister was "restoring" the doors ... they never showed up - the only piece we have is the solid divider between the top and the bottom that they hadn't removed :-{ Three years later when we were buying this house, we requested the missing parts - but it was reported they couldn't be found 8-/. Yeah.
I dream that 'someday' we'll be able to get parts to re-do it ourselves ....
Thanks for sharing yours ;-}

Your new hutch is perfectly suited for your room. I love it! I have two hutches in my kitchen, too! A very large cabinet that I have shown on my blog, and a small hoosier, too. I try to think of these cupboards as sweet girlfriends - and I like to dress them up too, as you do so well. I'm glad you were able to share the moment with your mom, too!
