The first big purchase for the newlyweds!

So as y'all know we live in Slaton, TX and have a rather tiny house with an absence of storage space especially in the kitchen. After months of searching and countless tears over not having any room to store all of my awesome new kitchen gadgets from the wedding, my husband & I finally found the perfect little hutch! Well.... I say its little. It's really rather large and heavy because it's real wood. It's super awesome! We found it off  Craigslist. I'm not really a 'rustic' kinda gal - I'm more vintage - however hubby is a good ol' country boy and LOVES the rustic look.

See? Rustic. Cowhide cover accents and all! It even has a beer bottle opener nailed to the side of the hutch. *insert yahoo straight face here*



















(however) CHECK OUT THIS STORAGE SPACE!


















Ahhhhh my favorite... the liquor cabinet! Appropriately placed up high for homes with hopes of having small children soon. 

So how hard did this awesome find damage a newlyweds' pocketbook? It was only $600! We had looked everywhere and found nothing less than $500 and those were hutches made of particle board. This was such an awesome buy and I LOVE IT!! It has so much character and was a perfect match for our dining room table & chairs. Yay for Craigslist & yay for making our home!
