I love this hutch dearly, it was made by my late father-in-law with love for his wife.
I wanted to brighten it up a bit without any painting...
...and since I loved the last 'map project', I decided to go with that idea...
I think I could get carried away with this--we may soon have maps everywhere!
What a beautiful, special piece of furniture!!
ReplyDeleteThe hutch is beautiful and the map has lifted it's whole appearance. It's a lovely piece of furniture and a beautiful heirloom. Now it has your personal touch. What a treasure! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! What a differance.
ReplyDeleteThat really works, with out using a paint brush. another option is fabric dipped in liquid startch, it goes on like wall paper, but peels off easily when you tire of it or want a change with no damage..
ReplyDeleteIt does brighten it up so well!
ReplyDeleteSimple and effective. Well done.
Wow, not only is it a gorgeous piece of furniture, but you've set it off just beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThat hutch is really terrific, and I love your map make-over and the things you have on the shelves (especially that old b&w photo).

ReplyDeleteI love the way you have used a map of the world to set off some of your "worldly" possessions.

That is beautiful! I';ve been thinking of doing something similar with fabric and our kitchen pantry. Now you have me convinced!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love it! What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteI really love this idea.
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks incredible!! I have been toying with the idea of backing a china hutch like this. How did you "stick" the maps on?
