A Little Redecorating...


This week I did a little redecorating project in my hutch!  In the above photo, you can see it was sweet and colorful.   I loved how it looked, but was ready for a change!  I was inspired by Jacqueline at Cabin and Cottage .  I love this beautiful header and her sideboard redo !

From Cabin and Cottage

While I don't have as many of the pretty pieces and goodies she has, I thought I could do my hutch in a similar color scheme for fall.  I brought out some nice pieces and linens I had stored,  and re-used some pieces already on the hutch!


An old chippy scale, transferware, and glass jars made a sweet vignette...


and a delicate little leaf dish for fall~


The pretty teapot was my husband's mother's and the silverplate tray behind it is engraved "Bread".


Just like the inspiration...I have to have my wonderful little dogs... The tureen was made by my mother many years ago...




This lovely old bride's basket holds pretty coral...


I'll probably add some old leatherbound books and a few more ironstone and transferware pieces, but I love how it turned out~ it feels simple and clean~ perfect for fall~ and just what I was going for!  Thank you Jacqueline for the inspiration!

  2. Hi Linda,
    Your hutch is gorgeous, now I can't wait to add some autumnal touches to our home! I really love the silver pheasant, and your cute little dogs. The tureen that your mom made is beautiful! Your silver pieces are great, too! I picked up a little vintage silver creamer at an antique shop on our trip to the U.P. It has a great patina that I love. Thanks for the inspiration!

  21. Linda, this turned out so beautiful! Your mother made that tureen? Wow! I love the dogs. You know I have a thing for that myself. The silver plate with the etched "bread" is a favorite. What are you going to put in those glass apothecary jars? hmmm...vintage clothes pins, small balls of twine, spools, cinnamon stick bundles? My gears are turning.

  33. Your mother made that tureen? Wow, it's so pretty, and that's one thing I've never known how to do: pottery and such. I love it when I see post titles with "redecorating" in them. You did a great job. Jacqueline is indeed quite inspiring!
