Quick Hutch Makeover

by pitcherandthepearl

You all know I love our dining room hutch. It’s really the focal point of our living and dining area.  The hutch was a hand me down that was repainted a creamy white, however there were a few areas that were just a little lacking. The inside of the cupboards were still unfinished pine, and it was looking a little bland. A while back I picked up some pretty damask wrapping paper at The Paper Source during a sale, and it suddenly struck me  that the paper would be perfect as a liner for the inside of our hutch.

Here’s a shot of what the hutch looked like prior to our little makeover.  The inside was just a little bit blah.

All this project took was the wrapping paper, a jar of Mod Podge, and a little bit of patience!

I measured the back of the Cabinet for each shelf and cut my wrapping paper down to size. I then used a foam craft brush to apply a thin even layer of Mod Podge  to the back of the cabinet. Finally, I placed my pre cut pieces of paper on the back of each shelf and smoothed them down, leaving me with a nice custom wallpaper-esque finish! (Since I know the inside of this cabinet is not really a high traffic area, I opted not to apply another coat of the Mod Podge directly over the paper)   I really love the final product, and best of all it only took about an hour or so to complete.
