Before and After hutch - from 'lodge" to "beach"

Time for a change. This skinny bookshelf/hutch thingy has moved into the hallway for added storage. The finish is fine, here in the living room.....


But too dark for this bright room.....So it got a makeover with fresh coats of "toasted almond" paint and now holds my beachy momentos with plenty of room on the bottom for extra towels.


I'm keeping it close to monotone as I can and I love seeing my loved ones smiling back at me.....
