China Hutch

My kitchen is far too small for all the fun kitchen gadgets that I have accumulated over the years, so I asked Jake for a hutch for Valentine's Day.  I found one on a used furniture website and showed him.  He agreed that it was lovely and went to pick it up for me a couple of days later.

Unfortunately, we later found out that it was imbued with cigarette smoke that would not come out no matter how much we cleaned and scrubbed.  So my sweet Valentine began to paint the hutch in an effort to at least seal in the nasty smell.

It seems to have worked so far and I have been happily filling my new hutch and re-organizing my cluttered kitchen :)
