FRENCH COUNTRY HUTCH DIY

This traditional style hutch was here when we bought our house. It originally had a mirrored back.

At first, this didn’t bother me too much until Pinterest happened. It seemed like everyone was chalk painting their hutches. I didn’t want to change the whole look, but I did want to get rid of the dated mirrored back. So what do you think I did? Chalkboard paint baby!

This small investment in an $11.00 paint was worth a shot. It was scary at the first coat of paint because it looked like it wasn’t going to work. I decided to press on. Guess what? It worked! I will take at least 3 coats of paint.

The next step was to take the glass out of the doors so I could view the decorations better.

Here are a few close up photos of my decor.

I hope this inspires you!

French Country Decorating with bonus video

Welcome to my home. I want to begin with a few photos of decorating ideas by themselves and finish with a short video of the room. As you view the photos I hope you find inspiration to decorate your own home. First, here is my two rustic shelves with accessories. Alongside it is my book pages which are taped to the wall. To the right a simple canvas picture and underneath is a black metal basket that is filled with a spool of rope and burlap bird. Next is a sentimental display. Family is very important to me. Memories of loved ones in my life. My husbands grandma loved quilting and sewing. I displayed her sewing machine. On the top is 3 boxes, each one is filled with sewing notions. Lastly, my hutch with chalkboard painted back. It is filled with a combination of glass, metal and wood decorations. Video
