Farmhouse Style Mudroom

You know how it is, you find a new piece of furniture and place it in a room and then everything moves! Such was the case with my new farmhouse hutch. It is now in my small dining room which means I need to get rid of/relocate the backer's rack that I was using as a hutch.

Once I have done the work of making over a piece, I have so much trouble selling it... so instead I tried to come up with a new spot for placing my baker's rack in a house that is already too full of furniture. Sigh. Then again, I had a stroke of brilliance when I moved it into my back entryway.

Farmhouse Dining Room Transformation

I've bounced around all over the place with my design choices over the last 3 1/2 years, but I am coming home to my tried-and-true favourite which is country cottage. Although nowadays it seems to be called "Farmhouse" so I'm going with the flow!

I have made over my dining room a few times but when I found my new hutch, I found my style. I knew exactly the look I wanted and the hutch makeover turned out even better than I had imagined it. Don't you love it when that happens?!

Here is the new hutch all painted up and beautified, I am in love with it!!:

Farmhouse China Cabinet Makeover

I found a hutch for sale on an online Buy & Sell page. They were asking $100.00 and they lived close by - can't get any better than that!! I got a friend to help and we packed home my new china cabinet. It was solid wood!! Not a really great quality of workmanship, but solid.

After it was in the house for a few hours, I noticed a strong smell of cigarettes coming from the piece. Odd because the house it came from didn't smell at all. Oh well, that just made it easier for me to paint the wood without feeling any guilt. I spent hours on Pinterest looking for ideas and found so many I couldn't choose. If you want to see the 800+ pins in my Furniture I Heart board, click HERE. In the end, I decided to use what paint I had on hand already and I got started. Here's the result:

Farmhouse Cottage Tour 2014

Welcome to Ashcroft Cottage! My house has changed so much in 2014. I've finally found my style and embraced country cottage/farmhouse in a big way. I even named my house (I have an enormous 100 year old green ash in my front yard). Come on in and have a look.
