Changing Up My Hutch

Once again I got bored with my dining room hutch so I decided to change it up a bit. Here is the before of the when I was originally trying to decide what to do with it.  I'm still thinking of lining the back of the cabinet with burlap or some other type of natural fabric to lighten it up a bit.  What do you think? 


I thought that all of the white would look great with autumn's punch of color.  I had these two sconces hanging in the living room but think they look much better flanking both sides of this cabinet.  





Yup, I'm loving the orange and white together.  This is quite a new look for me.  Blogging has definitely gotten me to think out of that same old box.  The inspiration out there is amazing!


Check out my new scarecrow tassel...isn't he the cutest. Kristen from Kristen's Creations made him.  If you haven't been to her site you must visit.  She is such a talented lady, her floral arrangements are gorgeous.




Thanks for stopping by to check out my new look.  I'll be partying with,

  2. I think it all looks beautiful Marianne! The orange totally pops against the white and I so agree that blogging has totally changed the way I approach decorating. :-) For instance, I get so much inspiration from talented folks like yourself!

  10. Your dishes are so lovely! I'm all for temporary changes like burlap on the back of the hutch, but, truth be told, with white dishes in the hutch, the darker the background, the more they pop.

  16. I'm a white dish lover also. They are so versatile, like black pants, they go with everything and are perfect for layering. Love the fall additions.

  17. The new look is great! White dishes are always a great choice and adding the orange for a fall touch is perfect. I am visiting from Bunny Jean's blog hop. I too gain inspiration for visiting blogs. I am inspired to add a touch of fall to my home.

  18. The combination of the orange with the white is just stunning! Really like the sconces on each side of your hutch. As for changing the back of your hutch, I would suggest getting some wallpaper samples of several colors. Just place them inside and it will give you a good idea of whether you want to change it or not.
