I just noticed that I forgot to paint the drawer to my hutch yesterday. But here's the hutch with its first coat of paint. I think one more coat will have it pretty and smooth.
I'm mulling over whether or not to paper the backs of the shelves with some pretty wall paper. I think I'll have to look at some pictures of papered shelves before I decide.
Sophie wants a walk, then I have to get my shower and go grocery shopping. YUK! I hate that chore. The fatigue has lifted a bit, and I'm feeling better today than I have in several days. Good thing too. I'm going out to dinner tonight with my WOW buddies. We're going to celebrate my friend Lori's birthday.
Also the sun is shining here after several dreary, damp, and dark days. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Let's enjoy.

What a difference a coat of paint makes, your hutch is looking good! I don't like grocery shopping either, my least favorite chore.
Have fun and enjoy the sun.

I have a stash of wallpaper--pale green with white leaves. Also some Thos. Kinkade border that's 13" wide, but it's mostly blue. I'll post a photo of the green on my blog.

So glad to hear you're feeling better!! Cheers!
I like the look of your re-painted hutch. I'd suggest you put it in place, then arrange furniture around it as you choose to, and last put all of the books and decorative things on it. Stand back and see if you like the look. If the solid color background looks good, then no more thought need be given to papering.
If you're curious about how it would look with paper, then cut the chosen paper to fit and use light tack tape to affix in place temporarily as you consider it. You could also leave it temporary so you can change the paper easily for each season or when you choose to.
Applause for your progress!!
Hugs!

Susan, I hope you had a good time last night.
The hutch is looking great. I know some people line the back with scrapbook paper. That allows for easy changes.

Hi! I'm glad you're feeling a little better. Your hutch looks great. For a temporary background, cut some thin board and wallpaper that. You can do several of these for swap-outs for different seasons, holidays, etc. I think that is a lot of fun, but you can go back to plain when you're tired of the busyness. I want to say that I so admire you and how you continue to live life fully even though you are in pain and grieving. You are an inspiration to all of us. Thank you, Mona
