Spring Farm Hutch Tour


 Happy Thursday my dear sweet friends. Please join my in the kitchen for some cookies ,  a glass of sweet iced tea and some good ole' chit chat. I would love to share my hutch decor with you. Now hold onto your bloomers there is going to be a lot to see in a small space😀😃. 

                              

 As soon as Easter was over, I was ready to dress the hutch in some new digs, and I knew exactly what I was going to do . 

 It all started with the Farmyard theme and the bright cheery colors- red and yellow. First,  I changed my shelf runners from the lace valance curtains to red and white buffalo check runners.  I then started off with my layers of Dollar Tree plates in reds, whites, and yellows. I love to decorate with plates. Ssshhhh! Don't tell anyone that I have a plate addiction. Well after I layered the plates,  it was then time to put all the farmyard goodness onto the shelves. I scoured my house for yellows, red and chicks. 

                

 Let's start with the top shelf.

 In the corner is a little cross stitch freebie chicken that I found off Pinterest year ago.  I am not sure who the designer was, but if anyone knows ,I would be so grateful for the info. It was one of the 1st pieces I stitched when I got back into cross stitching. 

 Next to it is a Pioneer Woman "Bless This Home " plaque and an old pitcher with a Dollar Tree hen salt and pepper shaker in it. 

The cross stitching in the middle is one of my designs from last year called the Bee Keepers ,but I have not written out the instructions or printed the chart out yet. 

 A thrifted chick and a Big Lots sheep pitcher rounds off the top shelf. The floral picks are from the Dollar Tree.  

The second shelf has my Nanny's old coffee canister- in my favorite color - RED. 

It may have been my great grandma's, but  I 'm not sure about that. 

On top of it are some gifted salt and pepper shakers and a pitcher with a hen in it - all given to me by my sister. 

My 3 spring Farm freebies are on the 2nd shelf finished in Dollar Tree trays with some reproduction fabric and Dollar Tree lace.

  Click the names of the stitch to go back to the original post and the pdfs. They are :  Spring on the FarmSpring Farmhouse and Spring  Farm Pasture

    

These  are all based on my family farms and childhood memories.  I paired them with some old thrifted bowls and a yellow riser from the Goodwill. 

Spring Chick Crock was another freebie that I left out from my Easter decor. 

Now on to the bottom shelf.

                     

 In my old juicer, I changed out the bowl to a yellow Dollar Tree bowl and filled it with an appliqued chick and my freebie embroidery called Luv Chick

                        

A Big Lots' heifer sits on a stack of plates and a little piggie is nestled into an old planter.

 My Farm Sweet Farm freebie stitch sits behind a thrifted ceramic chick. I had stitched Farm Sweet Farm last year  near Christmas time to put with my Christmas Farm stitches.

 I just simply changed out the embellishments so it could be used in the Spring and Summer Seasons. It is finished on a Dollar Tree chalkboard easel. 

 On the old vintage scale is some thrifted bowls and a Pioneer Woman cow plaque. 

 The old tea towel was found years ago and has the sweetest crocheted trim..  The lighted warmer stays out year round on the hutch. 

          

On the hutch door is a galvanized bucket with Walmart and Dollar Tree floral picks . 

                   

Next to my hutch is my husband's great great grandmother's bakers table. 

                      

The drawer pulls are little spools The top is enamelware.

                

 Usually this is just a knick knack and candy center for my grandbabies, but come Autumn and Christmas time , it is where I prepare baked goods. 


My little chick quilt that I completed earlier this year is draped over the edge held in place by a compote stand holding a strawberry pie plate. 

                        

 Vintage jars and adorn the the doll bunkbed that is now being used as a shelf. 

Lots of vintage pot holders are hung above. 

                 

Well that is my late spring hutch in a nutshell. It is one of my favorite hutch vignettes in awhile.  

 I need to start brainstorming on my patriotic hutch decor. First I need to decide what plates to use and then it will all fall in place. Lol. 

I am so thrilled that you stopped by today and took a gander at my country clutter. I know I pile a lot into a small section but it  is my style and it makes me happy.  I sure hope you have a beautiful day and hope ya'll stop by for a visit real soon. As always...

Happy stitching and decorating, ya'll

Melisa

Hugs and Stitches.
