Many people have dining room hutches\/china cabinets that aren’t being used in the dining rooms anymore.\u00a0 And even if you are still using a hutch in your dining room, perhaps it needs a little pick-me-up.\u00a0 Mom has put her old dining room hutch to use as a bookcase in her great room.\u00a0 To add some color to it, she put removable wallpaper on the back.\u00a0 Here’s the post from last May that she wrote to describe the whole process.\u00a0 Enjoy the revisit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

We have a piece of furniture in our great room that has lived many lives.\u00a0 It is a beautiful piece that started its life with us as a china cabinet in the formal dining rooms that we had in all of our past houses.\u00a0 When we moved into our townhouse, which will be five years ago this month, we gave up a formal dining room and gave the hutch a new purpose.\u00a0 It now is a bookcase in our great room and has adapted very well to its new role.\u00a0 This spring I decided to add some wallpaper to the back of the hutch to add some color.\u00a0 Jordan had great luck doing the very same thing to the bookshelves<\/a> in the study of her Syracuse house.\u00a0 I loved the style and color of the wallpaper she chose, but the feature that I really liked was the fact that it peels right off.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Great<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The cabinet is made by Hinkel Harris and is two pieces.\u00a0 If we wanted to remove the top, it would take on a whole other function as just a sideboard or buffet.\u00a0 This piece of furniture will never be painted.\u00a0 It is a classic, and will stay untouched.\u00a0 This is a great way to refresh a dated piece of furniture that you need or want to hold on to.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Wallpaper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because of the glass and the glare, it’s really tough to get a good photo of the interior, but this gives you an idea of what it looks like when the doors are closed, which they usually are.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Wallpaper<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I used the same wallpaper pattern and color<\/a> that Jordan used.\u00a0 We both bought it here<\/a>.\u00a0 Yellow is my second favorite color (blue is number one), and the pattern is a classic design that looks great in the classic furniture.\u00a0 The whole process took only about an hour.\u00a0 Not having to deal with paste, water, etc. made it super simple. The most tediuous part was trying to keep the design lined up.\u00a0 It was a great way to make a change without permanently altering the cabinet.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Wallpaper<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Adding wallpaper to this hutch was a simple way to add a pop of color and more interest to an already interesting piece.\u00a0 Maybe you have a piece of furniture in\u00a0 your home that you would like to update without permanently changing it.\u00a0 Perhaps this is the answer for you, too.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
