Updating My Hutch

I have been living in my new house for a month and little by little I'm settling in. Adding little touches here and there, turning this little space into our "home". One of the spaces I have been working on is my kitchen hutch. I picked it up a few months ago at a great price and I have played with arrangements on it a few times and not quite feeling the "wow" factor.

You might remember this arrangement and I had asked for any and all suggestions........(This was at the old house)




One of the changes I have made to the hutch is to paint the back a very light buttery yellow. (It's a little hard to tell in the photo) I think it helps in showcasing some of the white dishes I have displayed.

I added some of my cookbooks and one of my favorite roosters as a bookend.

Some of my favorite pieces .....white pitcher, bunny jar, grapevine rooster and cloche with a white ceramic pear I added to the top of the hutch.

These shutters I picked up at a yard sale and painted them my new favorite shade of green and added them to the side of the hutch.

I'm still not completely happy with the look.......but I like it a lot better than the "before". What do you think?? Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

Until Later,
