Starsky and Hutch

Ok...just Hutch, or in this case...a hutch. The newest used addition to our MCM home is a early 60s hutch to replace the one we had that was more of a 90s thingamajig. It is in great condition for its age and will hold most of our dining accouterments (that's MCM talk for stuff). 

It is solid wood, not that particle board crap with a cheap, thin veneer. You know the main difference between the two? Moving them. The new particle board type can be moved by a six year-old, the mid-century variety took two grown men and I think Tom slipped a disc getting it in the house. Moving during the middle of the last century separated the men from the boys. 

The dining/living room area is beginning to develop nicely. The table is in full use, new sofa and loveseat will be here shortly, the pole lamp shines brightly in all of its MCM splendor and new artwork is on the way. We will post the before an after photos once it is complete, probably around mid-April.

In the meantime, we have some dishes to move. The hutch is lonely and demands to be filled with our dinnerware. We are on the look out for some Blenko glassware to place in it as well if you happen across any.
