My China Hutch Gets a Face Lift

We bought our china hutch five years ago at a thrift store for $35. It was painted hot pink when we bought it and it has been about six other colors since then. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-j5cYspoFz7nmfRE5XDRrFYDgn7oeHHhHMPzrYAnHstL7PE2nNN5xKglISYxJSc-o6f2TwkBbzZvzPAtOfzu6xzQg0tWTkGc1WNoqX4bnjT8owhMa-87xakQ1KmBHrQDxfoVnS152VLm/s1600-h/china+hutch+1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307337155542901282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-j5cYspoFz7nmfRE5XDRrFYDgn7oeHHhHMPzrYAnHstL7PE2nNN5xKglISYxJSc-o6f2TwkBbzZvzPAtOfzu6xzQg0tWTkGc1WNoqX4bnjT8owhMa-87xakQ1KmBHrQDxfoVnS152VLm/s400/china+hutch+1.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 266px;" /></a> A few months ago, I painted it a pale blue (above, behind the chairs) which I liked, but felt the hutch needed a little more. I never really liked the fussy hardware, so I bought new bin pulls and a couple knobs from <a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/The-Knob-Shop__W0QQ_armrsZ1">this eBay shop</a> on the cheap (I think it was around $30 for everything). The new hardware instantly updated the hutch and helped brightened the room. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMVvYCQbvaFgwQFohqzlEvh3erNEl8OkHeAFAd4Cr5L0pC4d_xLWykuHSWYircpGTAif65z6rIH8_YMqx4Slga45bbdWZEAjLMdgErAQ_VG7s01v6wDAwQC64iZgG-6ZBhe2KuXgzIVBh/s1600-h/china3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307337167207396482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMVvYCQbvaFgwQFohqzlEvh3erNEl8OkHeAFAd4Cr5L0pC4d_xLWykuHSWYircpGTAif65z6rIH8_YMqx4Slga45bbdWZEAjLMdgErAQ_VG7s01v6wDAwQC64iZgG-6ZBhe2KuXgzIVBh/s400/china3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 266px;" /></a> Then I bought a few sheets of <a href="http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/item/Dentelle-Strawberry-Flowers-on-White/3104.050/14820350.html">pretty paper</a> for a couple dollars each from Paper Source, cut the paper to size (being careful to line up the pattern) and double-stick taped the sheets to the backs and sides of the inside of the hutch. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzgQJecGp-0dlrso9ZxZgenySIi87mOOwzy1kwFWQwqAqUowDzXc-DagkcB6OWBMr4enuiDWLOFPKj_0DRtrqCFXL6DX0_JVHvYSEmi3S2AodnN5kzYz_4Bctx47rcO5jIKYu4MN-GbV6/s1600-h/china2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307337167895144562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzgQJecGp-0dlrso9ZxZgenySIi87mOOwzy1kwFWQwqAqUowDzXc-DagkcB6OWBMr4enuiDWLOFPKj_0DRtrqCFXL6DX0_JVHvYSEmi3S2AodnN5kzYz_4Bctx47rcO5jIKYu4MN-GbV6/s400/china2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 266px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a> My original plan was to spray glue or even mod podge the paper in place, but so far the double stick tape has served me well. Which I've decided will make my life really easy when I will inevitably want to change out the paper in six months or so. {Is there a medication for whatever it is that I have?} <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNbhXgXhwmMPq8A3v_d-bEO_gC5AqXot299bgJh3zzluPfY7M3tY9L9m1lR3mybxQzOldIkhrJScLshn3xw6swvi0Hb8Nla0x_iWgKn1CAfKpta73TROwfwXknU3RSAzuQ4g-3PbMTnPmn/s1600-h/china4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307337170190179314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNbhXgXhwmMPq8A3v_d-bEO_gC5AqXot299bgJh3zzluPfY7M3tY9L9m1lR3mybxQzOldIkhrJScLshn3xw6swvi0Hb8Nla0x_iWgKn1CAfKpta73TROwfwXknU3RSAzuQ4g-3PbMTnPmn/s400/china4.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 266px;" /></a> Have a great weekend!

Triple L Fabric and Temporary Wallpaper - Waverly's on a Roll!

I've received a number of emails about this fabric (which was the photo backdrop to the books in my <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2009/02/special-delivery.html">last post</a>). Believe it or not, the fabric is a $10.95 per yard indoor/outdoor print from Waverly! It's called 'Lovely Lattice' and the color is 'Lagoon'. The print comes in black and citrine as well. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibpkyENND-wJXNiWo_ivcfcDQwiA6GMJkxs3nY8F5MY7BKAt4tcGARPMyXU-sfCUdFoQ16QoRSieiVzOab2wfES1vkIfRLsD68t2QNR-kKgQX2EXTIwV5D7nVw4hgZXuNGj9wx2fsdynkL/s1600-h/36423.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306781621668926418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibpkyENND-wJXNiWo_ivcfcDQwiA6GMJkxs3nY8F5MY7BKAt4tcGARPMyXU-sfCUdFoQ16QoRSieiVzOab2wfES1vkIfRLsD68t2QNR-kKgQX2EXTIwV5D7nVw4hgZXuNGj9wx2fsdynkL/s400/36423.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 301px;" /></a> I ordered 4 yards from <a href="http://www.housefabric.com/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=36423">here</a> to reupholster my dining room settee. I was thrilled with the print, weight and feel - not to mention the stain-resistant qualities of indoor/outdoor fabric. It's a tiny bit more blue-green in person than the photos imply (hence the name 'lagoon') and I think it is lovely. It really seems like Waverly is trying to add trendy patterns to all their product lines. Check out these temporary wallpaper solutions from Waverly (available online and through Sherwin Williams stores): This black and cream ($24.49 per single roll), <a href="http://www.swdecorating.com/default.asp?fm=/wallpaper_home.asp">here</a>, would be perfect for an entry hall or a small powder room. Or even framed out in molding for a bigger room. Comes in other colors, too. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJIwiN6DoI9cRCZedKY569TS02vMzEdO7UMgF-q1Nfxq0eIJXZ0_GajL7NVasWxiTw9Mo1VlonubHgFPVAd7z7OfZXAn3LqAUfn21NFBfEYekSvS1gOFcVlKwGmdSRX0hBDna5mxJwS0E/s1600-h/Picture+9.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306789899242604962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJIwiN6DoI9cRCZedKY569TS02vMzEdO7UMgF-q1Nfxq0eIJXZ0_GajL7NVasWxiTw9Mo1VlonubHgFPVAd7z7OfZXAn3LqAUfn21NFBfEYekSvS1gOFcVlKwGmdSRX0hBDna5mxJwS0E/s400/Picture+9.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 325px;" /></a> <a href="http://www.swdecorating.com/default.asp?fm=/wallpaper_home.asp">This</a> ($24.49 per single roll) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGTJHcyc8UdkY2lkgE9EF9eCCPqPiWex_JE1mUssUV3CgjJCDWUKz32RDjOxgBZZtNyTe0JBvMY15Yay67vnYMW-ERn5w_s7qtVsi9Ck6YV2u_Eaj65BuOtVJMYxjooSg4fAWX_1aI0eAx/s1600-h/Picture+10.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306789891221127458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGTJHcyc8UdkY2lkgE9EF9eCCPqPiWex_JE1mUssUV3CgjJCDWUKz32RDjOxgBZZtNyTe0JBvMY15Yay67vnYMW-ERn5w_s7qtVsi9Ck6YV2u_Eaj65BuOtVJMYxjooSg4fAWX_1aI0eAx/s400/Picture+10.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 299px;" /></a> seems like a very loose interpretation of <a href="http://www.walnutwallpaper.com/wallpapers.php?filter=designer&type=3&name=Cole+%26+Son&paperID=371">this</a> (also available in black and white) from Cole and Son ($100+ per roll). <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSXvqEhEbICF89WFcIGLhH7C1Mr0G909dW3q_nmafUbLXwUL1qvTbd5uzjMgvN6BFh5x_mcKvRTZSljLbVQZO_R-ZNduKAgk1tc6m5V_UX-k8TuSEdoZ2cgZ64UhWa-CkBfH8joPyIS5s/s1600-h/cole+and+son+cow+parsley.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306789908636041186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSXvqEhEbICF89WFcIGLhH7C1Mr0G909dW3q_nmafUbLXwUL1qvTbd5uzjMgvN6BFh5x_mcKvRTZSljLbVQZO_R-ZNduKAgk1tc6m5V_UX-k8TuSEdoZ2cgZ64UhWa-CkBfH8joPyIS5s/s400/cole+and+son+cow+parsley.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 314px;" /></a> <a href="http://www.swdecorating.com/default.asp?fm=/wallpaper_home.asp">This leafy wallpaper</a> looks awesome ($25.89 per single roll) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Q641Cmh2LTjU4HTjEQzuM6X_IWhVaa8micXa5RzFXIrsNCDC0xdwHzwynfzWrA8VK02UsRkjSS2ZnwyfkiX8e-pQKwNCLfeqzeQGy_T8Xxx5sRDwesdD-nK1d0mzuUNBXKk7TWgob4Kf/s1600-h/Picture+7.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306789905255823538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Q641Cmh2LTjU4HTjEQzuM6X_IWhVaa8micXa5RzFXIrsNCDC0xdwHzwynfzWrA8VK02UsRkjSS2ZnwyfkiX8e-pQKwNCLfeqzeQGy_T8Xxx5sRDwesdD-nK1d0mzuUNBXKk7TWgob4Kf/s400/Picture+7.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 302px;" /></a> as seen <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2009/02/sneak-peek-barb-blair-of-knack.html">here</a>, via design*sponge <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKlu_wxM168-YesWjXORWzicMUi4TfezoadkZYIff16xyNBveoMvzDK6GWQemxl3gKlBZnz47JyYnHAPlMb5OGhOXOZJilQFyhg7jcTamEkvhw9XpzU6qnYDxPWUIUwCIFa1XZuHBeXK-P/s1600-h/barbpeek3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306789909063762914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKlu_wxM168-YesWjXORWzicMUi4TfezoadkZYIff16xyNBveoMvzDK6GWQemxl3gKlBZnz47JyYnHAPlMb5OGhOXOZJilQFyhg7jcTamEkvhw9XpzU6qnYDxPWUIUwCIFa1XZuHBeXK-P/s400/barbpeek3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 356px;" /></a> Never again will I associate Waverly with grapevines and antiqued roosters!

Faux Bois Mirror

Like you already know, faux bois means "fake wood" {doesn't everything sound nicer in French?}. I've been watching this auction for a faux bois <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=220366330582&Category=20580">mirror</a>, originally sold at Gumps for $800.

An added bonus here is the black shades will make the room nice and dark when you're sleeping. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX0anU4IjC5nd-gLmV8kgZgYOIjEMoA6EoSXxilX-prcJvOsy5MmbVSYKcR0Gevm-2P5fcU7WUd5SgD_cjA1yfS_HqDQZ-hRSpRuMw_2S-DsFdRsiJ2Ufb_6jd6zJ-qFuhB1ID4R7pYRAf/s1600-h/3091022972_fcc404da3e.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305824429078794658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX0anU4IjC5nd-gLmV8kgZgYOIjEMoA6EoSXxilX-prcJvOsy5MmbVSYKcR0Gevm-2P5fcU7WUd5SgD_cjA1yfS_HqDQZ-hRSpRuMw_2S-DsFdRsiJ2Ufb_6jd6zJ-qFuhB1ID4R7pYRAf/s400/3091022972_fcc404da3e.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 266px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a> Love the look of shade-over-shade here below. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GyYAj7jeSZAm10jSIEf51O_sKVrQni59b_Zy1oPDh2QCc1qfobIkBK2H1RvAEepm_fkAhrWrfz-z8wHsHW3tklBRGCz10zBt2D_uFcub5XCFY0hDQY17-4jj8vi2G8OTVU168Tfh0W-Y/s1600-h/475737454_tScQt-S.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305823914658190850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GyYAj7jeSZAm10jSIEf51O_sKVrQni59b_Zy1oPDh2QCc1qfobIkBK2H1RvAEepm_fkAhrWrfz-z8wHsHW3tklBRGCz10zBt2D_uFcub5XCFY0hDQY17-4jj8vi2G8OTVU168Tfh0W-Y/s400/475737454_tScQt-S.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 265px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a> For a totally custom look, use the same fabric for your shades and curtains. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YHd7f94hbxcKx4p_SMup6eYXxggg4qGbqZDLziPCm_eD0L3S3cFZGehBQTUz9u_ffWO6zpRKfoNrv6Flf3q4rDaSXL30ZtvtKm9gipBg-Bt7-QHbVSmVoSOMVFb9QOv8pFbe8pwqI4hG/s1600-h/1826e5d9f135.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305823911446636962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YHd7f94hbxcKx4p_SMup6eYXxggg4qGbqZDLziPCm_eD0L3S3cFZGehBQTUz9u_ffWO6zpRKfoNrv6Flf3q4rDaSXL30ZtvtKm9gipBg-Bt7-QHbVSmVoSOMVFb9QOv8pFbe8pwqI4hG/s400/1826e5d9f135.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 313px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5LjOw5RpDrDkEPlnHC_ZNEsH2nE5mjvfWxKvLepR7oy7IvJMDxxwHPV9_d6oadiKfzUOCU2_YHHwEwvMckLyX3wum37LaEGXo7XuewxNhp5E0eGri2EDVRLyw_aJLH1hAqLcI3pw1cV1/s1600-h/5-blue-bedroom-1007_xlg.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305823673766302370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5LjOw5RpDrDkEPlnHC_ZNEsH2nE5mjvfWxKvLepR7oy7IvJMDxxwHPV9_d6oadiKfzUOCU2_YHHwEwvMckLyX3wum37LaEGXo7XuewxNhp5E0eGri2EDVRLyw_aJLH1hAqLcI3pw1cV1/s400/5-blue-bedroom-1007_xlg.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgekfZLv1F7DVp4KSnuCuZ2E9rVQY-mKIC9C5sQY3opS6OXbm8CZDw_ejGfLKAvpMGdetiG6gZe78mP1-HNVaNnu5HGlwGjzjrIRk3m1C9K7m99ciSF6JrTTsX7Stb9gQCnz2ZhMASEl99s/s1600-h/6a00e54fe9de5c883301053716a12f970b-320wi.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305823680616879074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgekfZLv1F7DVp4KSnuCuZ2E9rVQY-mKIC9C5sQY3opS6OXbm8CZDw_ejGfLKAvpMGdetiG6gZe78mP1-HNVaNnu5HGlwGjzjrIRk3m1C9K7m99ciSF6JrTTsX7Stb9gQCnz2ZhMASEl99s/s400/6a00e54fe9de5c883301053716a12f970b-320wi.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 252px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> Isn't this a great photo below? I love the two different fabrics on the shades. Using only the print on these long windows would be overwhelming and using only solid colored fabric would be so boring.
