A couple of days after Christmas My hubby surprised me with this vintage hutch. that he found at an Antique/Used Furniture Store. He wasn't sure I would like it, but I really love it. Most of these items were things I already had in the house. I just went around and pulled things from different rooms and even from the kitchen cabinets. The plates came from thrift stores and other items came from Dollar General and Dollar Tree.
I love the Morning Glory flowers painted on the back of one of the shelves.
A fruit theme slowly evolved as I worked and so I made this table runner using some fruity fabric.
My intent was to make his wreath work for year round, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it turned out very spring like! When March comes, I'll have a head start on my Spring decorating! I used Baby's Breath and green Hydrangea from Dollar Tree. The ribbon was in my ribbon stash in the sewing room.
I used the same grape vine wreath that I used for this Christmas themed one. I think the green and white flowers are a nice departure from the Christmas theme.

I just LOVE your vintage hutch!! It goes so well in the room and you have it decorated beautifully!! The table runner is pretty too...you are so talented!!
Hope you had a Blessed Christmas and have a happy and healthy 2011!
Cute decor. Makes me want spring to hurry and come. Thanks for sharing.
The pics are beautiful! I'm thinking spring, as I sit here freezing because it's 34 F here. And I really am impressed that the plates came from the Dollar stores. Very nice.
Good husband! No wonder you keep him. :)
Those morning glories are such a fun surprise. I love the hutch but love the fact your husband surprised you with it even more. A gift to cherish! Love the lamb on one of the shelves.
What a sweet little hutch! I love all the dishes and things you've put in there. Spring is looking pretty good right now, but winter's just getting started good! ;)
The hutch is precious and looks perfect in your room. You decorated it beautifully. That spring look is really welcome with the freezing weather we're having.
Love the spring look in your dining room, how sweet that your hubby would pick that hutch up for you. I'm thinking spring already too, even though they are talking snow for the weekend, I can dream inside!
the vintage hut is great and you put all the decorations together so nice. Looks perfect in your farmhouse.
He is surely full of surprises!!
The hutch is perfect for the spot by the double doors into the living room.
You have a knack for pulling it all together to make the perfect picture!
I will leave Christmas decor, including the tree up until Epiphany (Jan. 6. Then, 'twill be a big take-down.

How cute it looks! Well done.
What a pretty hutch!! Good hubby!! It all looks so pretty. I can tell you having so much fun decorating your new home!
That hutch goes perfectly in that corner. I love that fabric too. I've got the cloth napkins. :) They are so cheerful.
Have you been using those $5.00 coupons for Dollar General? There is another one for this Saturday, printable at their website.
Wow! Your hubby did good! Very, very pretty.
Golly, Debbie, is he available for 'on loan'?! That is one lovely cabinet.

Thanks for all the sweet comments! My hubby appreciates it too! He is a keeper.
I LOVE the hutch. It looks like it was made for your house! What a thoughtful gift from your husband! I would love a hutch but I think my place is too small for one :-P
