You know a table can not be complete with out a hutch to show off my loved China that was my Grandmas! Grandpa gave this to Grandma as a wedding gift over 60 years ago. As I was putting my China in my hutch I cried. It was more then a hutch to me but something that meant great meaning of Family! My Grandpa passed away a year ago in June. The China symbolized the great love my Grandparents had for each other and how long they lasted together side by side. I am sure like every other relationship they had hardships and problems. But to me they were perfect and something I am striding for with my own marriage. I love seeing the dishes every day and displayed proudly for everyone to see.
For plans of course I went back to Anna! I decided to piece two of her projects together to get the look I was wanting. First was the Hutch that was just what I wanted. Simple and plain to match the table. Then I searched and came across this desk. I thought it would be perfect with my Hutch and modified it a bit to be the fit that I wanted. The drawers serve perfectly to put the silverware that also belonged to my Grandparents in. One for the forks / spoons / knives and the other for the serving!
The set that I built is far from perfect. But it is perfect for us! I really wanted that old Farmhouse look and was more then happy with how this turned out! All 7 of us can fit around the table with still tons of room. We found out at a birthday party for one of our children that really 10 can fit around the table with still lots of room! It is long and has the extra width that I wanted.
