Patience is not exactly my strong point, but I am slowly learning the benefit of waiting to find the perfect furniture piece! Over a year ago we finished remodeling our dining room, which I shared here. It was a big change in terms of the decor but we didn't change the furniture.
I really wanted a china hutch to center on the wall of windows. I was fairly open, but knew I wanted drawers and glass doors - any combination of those things would work fine. I also felt pretty sure I wanted something that was antique or at least old! So I've been searching and searching. I would often find a nice piece but the price was never as nice! Finally I found the perfect combination at a local store called Necessities. The store itself is in an awesome building with little treasures tucked in every corner! (Check out their website to see some of the inventory!)
I was so excited to get this new hutch to its new home! The drive home was a bit nerve wracking, but we made it!

| Ahh!!! Unfortunately the sun was so bright I couldn't get a matching picture with and without the hutch. |
Once we got the hutch in place I was super excited to clean it with a natural fresh lemon and olive oil mixture! I mixed 1 part lemon juice to 3 parts olive oil. (Yes, I read about it in Pinterest!)
Now that it's clean and fresh, my next step is to wax it to add the perfect sheen. THEN I can finally fill it with all my goodies that have been hidden away for too long! Although I am excited to fill my new "toy", the beautiful summer weather we've been having this spring has distracted me a bit! The rain this weekend should help me get this finished though!
