I'm not willing to pay several hundred dollars or even a $1000 for a piece of furniture from Restoration Hardware. 


Unless I need a new sofa or mattress, the thought of paying an inflated sticker price for brand new furniture makes me ill.


But, just because I'm not willing to spend a lot of money on furniture doesn't mean that I don't want the look of high end furniture in my home!

Repurposed China Hutch Halloween Sign

An easy tutorial to add some DIY vintage spooky flair to your Halloween decor! Learn how to transform and up-cycle a china hutch door and turn it into an old antique sign. It's budget friendly halloween decor that will leave you smiling!

If inexpensive and unique Halloween decor is up your alley, we're glad that you're here! A few months ago I showed you how I dissected a hutch and turned it into a buffet. If you’re interested you can read about the Ohio Hutch project here.




After I was finished my sweet husband turned to me and said, “Now we can get rid of the top part of the hutch, right?” I knew what he wanted… he wanted his garage back. To him the left over hutch top looked useless. I gave him a smile and just shook my head. “The top of that cabinet has a potential of uses.”



I have re-purposed china hutches on several occasions. My favorite way to re-purpose a china cabinet is by transforming them into stand alone furniture pieces. You can see how we up-cycled this china cabinet into a separate buffet and cabinet simply by adding feet to both pieces here.
