worth the wait

I'm so happy I can officially say that one more thing in the house is finally done! One of the first things that I loved about our new little home was a built in "hutch" or shelves that were in the dinning area. As soon as I saw it I had a vision of how I wanted it to look, and I knew it would be a perfect piece of furniture to have to display all most of my cake stands (I have a lot:)

It took awhile to finish the project but it was worth the wait to make sure it was done right. I couldn't be happier with the finished product!

The upper section had long shelves that ran through each of the "three" sections, so there was nothing dividing them... if that makes any sense!? We also had a food storage problem... see the town house was built in 66 and apparently a pantry or food storage just wasn't as important back then, but it was important to us! So I didn't see a problem, only a solution :) I thought it would only make scene to close in the middle section, use it as food storage and that would still leave me the side shelves to display my stuff.

 I love the convenience of having my decorating supplies so close, yet neatly put away so that no one can see them,  It's such a great addition!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and is having a great Thursday...it's almost the weekend!!
