Roadside Rescue: Kitchen Hutch and Vanity Table

While out walking the dogs yesterday, I came upon a bonanza of furniture in an alley. There were upholstered chairs and side tables and bins and shelves out of a refrigerator. But it's this beauty that made my heart beat faster. A full-sized kitchen hutch:

It has the grooves in the shelves for displaying dishes and a cottage-y, beadboard-type back:

It's going to need some new knobs and a paint job, but that doesn't scare me, since I discovered Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint:

It is exactly what I've been dreaming of--full size, lots of charm, not too precious so I can paint it without worrying that I'm covering up gorgeous wood:

I also nabbed this kidney-bean-shaped table. When I spied it, the curvy front had a hideous, rancid fabric tacked to the lip of the tabletop, disguising its legs. I ripped that off before even loading it in my van:

This vanity table is designed to have a skirt attached to these two arms, that swing out...

...to reveal a little drawer. I'm not sure if I'm keeping this one or repurposing it for a friend. But I keep seeing it in white, with a gingham skirt. We'll see....

In the meantime, I can't wait to get started painting this gorgeous beast:

I may have to buy a bigger can of paint.
