When I moved into this "cottage"...It had a huge niche in the kitchen area {It is an open floor plan}....I had never seen one quite that big!...The previous owners had made a cabinet underneath...{Which helped me come up with my most recent idea...the built~in hutch}...
I pondered and lost sleep over this BIG ole' hole in the wall for months...I finally decided to make it into a french bakery store window display and put all my baked goods over there...You can see that it is empty...I'm still working on the baking part ;)...

I made the awning and hand painted the Patisserie {french for bakery}...I got a lot of compliments on it...Though, it was cute...It didn't Scream Meme...{Notice the "taupe~y greyish peach~y" walls...Yuck!!...it was here when I moved in...I painted it a soft champagne gold}...
It came to me!!! A built in hutch! Well, it should of been a no brainer, actually...I know...;) I was worried about the light switch and how I would be able to build around that...It was far enough over for the whole thing to work! I love the results...I plan to get new things for the hutch, but for know I have shopped the cottage and came up with a fresh new look! :) So, what do you think of the before and after?
