Another Michaels Hutch-Bash

This time one of those great $1 hutches has been turned into a laundry room wall cabinet by Doreen at Doreen's Miniature Projects.  Finished cabinet is shown above and the original hutch shown below.

This is how it looks in the finished laundry room.   Well done Doreen!   Visit her blog to read more about this Sewing and Laundry Room Project.

Michaels Hutch Bash

Some of the different styles available

Michaels Crafts sells these miniature hutches made from unfinished wood for only $1.oo!!!.  They are pretty close to 1:12 scale.   There's quite a few different designs and most have working doors and drawers.   They are very nice as is...but modifying these inexpensive little hutches into something else has become quite popular.   The hutches are easy to take apart and "kitbash" the pieces into something new!  The price is so low, you can buy a bunch....so you won't feel guilty destroying a perfectly fine hutch!  LOL

Deconstruction!

I've seen quite a few tutorials for converting these hutches into different pieces of furniture.  I've collected a few links and will post them all as I find them on a special page for Michaels Hutch Bash (see menu above).     Here's a few to start:
