THANK YOU to all of you who voted for our Color Block Hutch! I am thrilled to be the top three of the Creating With The Stars Contest and to advance to the next round I love how this beat up thrift store table went from blah to sleek with some paint, new hardware, oh, and a hutch to top it off. I definitely stepped out of my painting "comfort zone" for this project but I absolutely love the way it turned out. I used four different blues in the cubbies to create a unique look. I love how the blues play together to create a fun color-block look.
I'll be giving a full tutorial on East Coast Creative's blog on Saturday. Many thanks to my blogging mentor, Kate, from Centsational Girl who is amazing to work with and is ultra creative. Also, my dear husband Steve, gets some major brownies points as he helped me design and build the hutch and stayed up into the wee hours painting with me!
What I love about this contest is that I'm getting some major projects done because there's a deadline. I had a friend tell me she should just tell her husband they made it into a contest so that they have to get things done too. I laughed so hard! I can't wait to show you my UPCYCLE project that I'm working on for this week. The contest is down to six people so all the projects will be up for another round of voting on Monday.
What do you think: would you try a color block style shelf in your home?

DeleteI have come to explore your blog after seeing your projects on East Coast Creative. You have amazing talent and I love your "Baby Blues Hutch" project. Finding life in cast-off furniture pieces is the ultimate form of recycling and your vision is inspiring. I can't wait to see what you do next.
