I have a small hutch I bought and painted white drying on my porch, and I plan today to do its second coat of paint and once dry get my nicer dishes onto it and move a shelving piece I have used as a baker’s rack to the guest bedroom to act as a bookcase. To be honest, I could display and utilize my storage better for dining items with what furniture pieces I have and in my kitchen cabinets. The small hutch will be more suited and has beautiful chicken wire heart doors on its bottom shelf. I want fewer visible items and also have been gifting or donating anything not my favorite of whatever item I have. Simplicity already feels better than clutter!

Thank you, Holly 🙂 I love how the brick turned out. It adds such a warmth that the room really needed. I’m one of those who will always think natural brick is timeless.

Isn’t it great, Deborah? Paint is so affordable and really does make such a big difference. 🙂

Thank you so much friend! I loved the gray too, just grew tired of it. Over the years I’ve discovered I grow tired of bolder colors much more quickly than muted and soft colors. To each their own, I suppose. We’re loving the new color. It’s been such a serene place to sit.
