repurpose

Garage Sale Hutch.....

My inspiration for the black hutch is in this kitchen below. My actual kitchen inspiration was from another kitchen I shared with you in this post (visit here).

These knobs have been sitting on my counter for about 2 years, waiting for the right project (visit old post here). I purchased them at Anthropologie on a whim. I think everything a girl purchases at Anthropologie is on a whim!
