Do you remember my $30 Craigslist hutch? 
Well, we’ve left it in the kitchen~it fits perfectly in between the pantry and the laundry room (closet) and just made it more functional for our family:
I lined the open cabinets with some ticking stripe fabric from Walmart of all places~I just stretched it and then staple gunned the fabric to the inside.
If you open the cabinet, you’ll see my little white TV I found on Amazon that fits perfectly on the shelf. (We got it in January when they were having a promo)
I can open the doors when I want a little tv fix while I’m in the kitchen or folding laundry. This is our only TV upstairs, so I’m glad it can be hidden when I want it to.
We took out the cute white drawer (I want to re-purpose it somewhere..) and unscrewed the track and used the area to put our satellite receiver.
I just tacked some linen napkins up from Target’s 75% Easter clearance and the cool thing is that the remote will send the signal through the fabric so it can stay permanently hidden without having to lift it up. Wahoo!
I’m playing with accessorizing the top part and looking for a little lamp, but you may recognize some of my thrifty treasures up here :)

The best thing about this hutch?? I didn’t have to paint it! I heart Craigslist.
Happy Thursday, y’all~
Wow, that is a great find! I am always scouring craigslist and nothing yet. Other than my stationary bike that is staring me down as I type since I haven't used it in awhile. Oh, stop by and visit my blog when you get a chance. It's hard to get started! :)
ReplyDeleteThat fits absolutely perfect in that spot, Melissa! I love when things work out that way. Love the fabric additions!
ReplyDelete$30???? What a great find! The changes you made to it are fabulous! Great Job!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute piece! I love the fabric detail in the doors especially.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute piece! I really like the fabric in the doors. Sometimes Walmart will surprise me but I still try my best to avoid that place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute transformation! :) I haven't had any luck at all with Craigslist yet, guess I'll have to keep trying!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Just PERFECT ! It fits, it looks great and it is soooo neat.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye for decorating and balance.
I'm glad you explained removing the darling drawer. Great idea, and I can't believe it works through the fabric. I LOVE when I find something perfect. Especially on Craigslist. I heart Craig myself.
ReplyDeleteJust PERFECT ! It fits, it looks great and it is soooo neat.

An awesome find! $30, a little fabric, a few napkins, and a lot of ingenuity. . . and look what you've got! You're such a smart cookie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! It looks like it was custom made for that spot. You have done a wonderful job accessorizing it and that is what truly makes it shine!!
ReplyDeletei love the blend of fabrics you used on it- it has so much mroe character and life! looks great!
ReplyDeletetoo cute! What a great find! I love that it hides your tv.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have hidden the tv in such a cute hutch! And the hutch really does fit perfectly in that spot.

What a great piece for $30!!! Wow, I wish I came across this! You did a great job with the fix up.
ReplyDeleteWow Melissa! Great find at $30.00.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you styled it and the fabric you added. Love it!
Wow!! Melissa you always seem to amaze me at the neat projects and ideas you have! I loveeeee the hutch and the very cute decorating you have done on it:)
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is coming along in your new home! Spring is here and this is always an exciting time for yard sales, organizing, cleaning, landscaping, etc.
Thanks for sharing!!
Melissa I just love that, it looks like a built in and many what a deal. I never find stuff like that on Craig's list. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHurray for no painting!! It looks great in its new home. :) I love the way you've accessorized it!
ReplyDeleteThat is just to darn cute, and couldnt fit better if it had been made for the space! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation, ticking makes everything timeless! This would go perfect in my house!
ReplyDeleteYou could not have planned for a better outcome - perfect fit. When something like that happens, I always say it was meant to be. That Craigslist hutch was meant to be right were it is sitting. It looks perfect and you styled it just right.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing that it fit right there! And I love the fabric you chose for it. . . it's perfect! :]
ReplyDeleteLove the hutch!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed listening to your interview with Peter. You sounded GREAT!
It looks beautiful! What an amazing job :) Would you mind sharing the Hope quote you have framed?
ReplyDeleteThe hutch was gorgeous already and what a deal at $30 (!) then you made it that much more beautiful still. You definitely have a talent. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did Melissa! It looks so cute and useful.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a steal for 30 bucks! It looks great, that little spot was just waiting for that cute hutch.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the hutch! Cleaver storage and it was made for that space. It fits perfectly! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteMelissa --
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I always enjoy reading about your transformations. But, I've got to ask -- how do you find all these pieces on Craig's List? Do you just search for a specific piece of furniture like "hutch" or "end table"? Or do you just browse and stumble upon it? I'm so curious, because I've never had much luck finding furniture on Craig's List...
It looks like it was always ment to be there! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this piece, Melissa! So charming with all the changes.
ReplyDeleteCuuuuuuute!!! I just love that you made it so pretty and functional all at once!!!
ReplyDeleteSo clever. LOVE this!!!!!!!!!! And I see the little bird and frame you made. Looks darling!!
ReplyDeleteLeslie
Michelle~ I purely stumbled upon this one when we were looking at a piano. BUT, if you are really on the search for something my advice would be to check often. I love the furniture and household sections. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Pinterest and I'm really enjoying perusing your blog. LOVE this hutch!
