Family Room Cottage Hutch

Changing Things Around

009      I absolutely love shelves and playing around with them. I recently decided to give my family room sweet cottage hutch a lighter and more springtime look. I am starting to decorate with more whites all the time. My darling husband just shakes his head and says…..’Here we go again.’ Don’t you love it? Ha…ha. Of course, I had to incorporate a rooster…..gracious goodness!!! :-)

  6. I just happened to click over here and see that you're participating! It's one of my favorite weekly memes. I adore that rooster. I've been looking for one, but can't find one that pretty. Your shelves are gorgeous. But then you've always had such wonderful taste. I'm so glad to see you here.

  21. Your hutch is absolutely charming! My husband shakes his head too. He's been shaking his head for 20 years now. Don't you fret. That is why they married us isn't it? It's that little something extra that they secretly love.

    Love,
