When I spied this cupboard at the thrift store for a great price, I grabbed it.

Originally I thought I would make it into a kitchen island. But, after looking at more closely, I saw that it was taller than a typical island height and fairly narrow. That is when I realized it was probably the bottom of a hutch and that I could give would make a great rustic farmhouse hutch.

I painted it red and added new, chunky metal handles. I left the top natural wood.

I then made a hutch top from reclaimed wood. I didn't get great pictures because it got loaded into to the truck and taken to the antique place where I have a booth. The back of the hutch top has some fantastic reclaimed wood on it.
