Hidden Treasures

Hello again. It has been a while.  A long while.  We have now moved into our house and I could not love it any more than I do.  It is all that I hoped it would be and more.  The best way to put it is that it is ME.  It is a reflection of my personality and what home feels and looks like.  That is a very good feeling.  Eldest put it best when he came to take a look at the progress, and he said that he knew within a few feet of being in the house that it was MY house.  Success. So much I want to share of this journey.

As we demo'd the drywall in the kitchen we uncovered a pocket of space.  Open. Empty. Available. Space. I hate to waste space so I had to think.  What to do?  I remembered that we have a hutch that belonged to my parents and is one of my most favorite pieces of furniture.  As I mentally planned for where furniture would be placed I had not found a home for it.  So I figured out what to do with that hidden treasure of space.  It would become home to my treasured hutch.

We framed the space and then dry walled it. I was a bit nervous about dimensions and had I measured correctly.

You can see I did measure correctly. I could not wait to take a picture to share with my contractor to show him that it really fit. This is in the dining room and it is just the perfect home for my hutch.
