1. Old China Cabinet dressed up in farmhouse chic.
This farmhouse-inspired hutch has been brought back to life and transformed into a beautiful decor piece. No need for the sign, this gives us "Little House on the Prairie" vibes in the best way! The scuffed white paint and wood accents make this old china cabinet look so charming! Vintage pieces like the old-schoo`2l scale and tin can really help tie the whole look together. The perfect piece to switch up during the holidays and let's face it, who can resist another great reason to buy more trinkets at the thrift shop?

3. DIY Baby Station
This is one of my favorite upcycles because it shows a great use of space and storage!
Old China cabinets have so many drawers and shelves that are so wonderfully utilized in this design. A baby changing pad was not enough for this parent.
With a little bit of creativity, they were able to add their own aspects such as the baby mobile, Wired bins, door hooks perfect for burp clothes and baby carriers, wooden crates and even a painting of cute puppy pals!
This is a win all around!

4. Pretty Lil' Potting Station
Now I know what you're thinking, "Why would anyone want to put their charming china cabinet outdoors and cover it in dirt?"
I know it doesn't sound painless but I promise the dirt really adds some character! This hutch was transformed into a gardener's dream!
With door hooks that hold your water hose, Shelving wide enough for rainboots and extra storage for those few things we just want to hideaway, this hutch is really starting to grow on me!
Get it, Grow... Cause it's for gardening...
Anyway,
I saw this floating around on Pinterest and searched everywhere for more information on the actual "How- To's" for you crafty people. Not too sure if what I came up with is the original but this is as close as I can get!

5. Lets dress it up! Hutch and Dresser Combo.
Dresser/ hutch Combos are so easy to create and have such a huge impact on design.

6. Half Drink Station and Half Bathroom Countertop!
Another Creative split!
This DIY pro really knows their way around a Hutch! They decided to take the top cabinets and mount them to a wall in their house perfect for storing extra drinks and party supplies!
They turned an eyesore into a lovely table by adding a tabletop shelf to the top of the space heater.
With a second shelf under the cabinets for extra storage, this flip is as creative as it is useful!
7. The bottom half of the hutch was repainted and moved into the bathroom to create an elegant bathroom countertop and cabinet.
The original hardware seems to have been kept and is matching the new faucet, hand towel rack and even shower head! Giving this bathroom a beautiful rustic touch.
The hutch's bottom cabinets provide enough space to add flowers, dressing up their deep sink with a beautiful pop of color.
Lauren and Van share pricing and details of how this beauty came to be, over on House Beautiful.
8. Beautiful Bathroom Storage.
So many things that I can say about this piece. For starters the color is so sweet and whimsical it brings that calming spa vibe that you want when entering a bathroom!
The blue glass from the vase gets tied in beautifully with the shelving in the cabinets. Housing all your extra towels, toilet paper and other unmentionables.
I get so taken away by the color that I barely notice the mismatching hardware but honestly, now that i notice, I really don't mind.

9. Outdoor Bar and Buffet
Who said you can't have a hutch and a bar too? Not these creatives, They went ahead and even threw in a mini-fridge!
Black and white wallpaper adds that perfect contrast against the blues and yellows of the decor and glasses.
Speaking of glasses a few racks screwed into the bottom of shelves make perfect wine glass storage!
The extra spacing on the bottom holds a beautiful wicker cooler that compliments the other elements in this design perfectly!
