My New Hutch

I've kept my eye out for some sort of hutch. I wasn't really looking though, when I found this on Craigslist. Up early as always, with everyone asleep...I took measurements, wrote an email, copied down the phone number and plotted.

By, 8:30 a.m I was first in line. As a blogger, I was feeling guilty that I didn't find it for $25 and repaint in myself, but for a mere $300 I thought I’d save myself a lot of work. I was tickled when we got it home and even the old light bulb was working. had no idea it was lighted when we went to see it.

Poor Stan. Woken up at 8:30 a.m. to be told he has to help me figure out what type of U-haul to rent. He's barely awake and so afraid of what I am up to now.

When we arrive to see the hutch, I immediately asked if he was set and firm on $300. He simply said, "No." So I said, would you take $250....thinking that's the $50 for the trailer we have to rent. He said yes. Stan was impressed with bargaining and frankly I am impressed that Stan and I got it into the house on our own with no problems.

My dad's family sugar spoon. No longer in a cupboard.

Stan is a good sport. He even took the kids to the park, because he knew momma wanted to play with her new toy.

Best of all....a place for my knee hugger elves and of course my Eva Zeisel Hallcraft dishes that were just stuck in a cupboard. Read about those Here

I know I'll have fun with it and even just having three more "cabinet" draws in my tiny house will help! I'll be changing this up a lot. What do think? Good deal?
