This photo is NOT my table but I had one JUST LIKE IT, many years ago....I have always loved a drop leaf harvest table and Mr. Sweet and I purchased one
38 years ago....
We continued to use it right up until a few years ago when we added our dining room...
THEN...YIPEE....we bought a NEW...THRIFTED....dining room table and chairs...
just love it to pieces...
*
NOW, I am needing a pretty HUTCH for this dining room but SOCIAL SECURITY
said NO WAY ! bwaaaaaaa
*
but wait....that HARVEST TABLE....
Mr. Sweet said he could make a hutch top and maybe...
just maybe we could use THAT table for the bottom of the hutch !
*
That sweet and very talented man DID build the prettiestand best hutch top you ever saw...made it to fix just
perfect over that old, but still in great condition, harvest table...
I painted the whole thing in the most luscious
COLONIAL RED
and fell head over heels in love with it all forever and ever, amen !
*
*
It is just perfect
for our dining room...
What a transformation it went thru after all those years...
I loved it when we bought it so many years ago
and now I am still lovin' it.....

Well, dear BJ, Mr. Sweet is some hubby! I'm sure you already know that, but just in case, thought I'd remind you!
The hutch is perfect with the harvest table! And, the colonial red just really completes it!
Thanks so much for sharing!

I love the hutch and table. It looks so perfect together and painted red!
Have a great day, Denise
BJ, he is wonderful, isn't it?!!! He did such an amazing job. I love it, too.
And, your little Deeds is definitely number one.
BJ, your Mr. Sweet is very talented, along with being a sweetie. Your hutch is absolutely perfect for your cottage ... and so is the color, of course!
And I bet Miss Deeds (I love her name!) is the cutest one on her team. I know you're so proud of her.
Hi BJ,
Gracious - your husband is wonderful and very talented. The hutch is beautiful and looks fabulous - the color red is wonderful.
Yes, by all means you can put my sidebar on your blog or do whatever you want to with it. I would be honored.
Have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Erin
You know that if you had gone shopping for that hutch you never would have found one that perfect!! I love it and wish I had one just like it!
Deeds and her brother are so cute. Those smiles are adorable. My college boy has been home this weekend. He's beating the doors down for a job!
The hutch that Mr. Sweets made is so beautiful! What a special man you have BJ:>) You know I love the color and all the blue transferware on it! Sweet Deeds looks like she had some fun this weekend!
Have a beautiful Monday... regardless which way you decide to celebrate it...
and I enjoyed listening to your music this morning... "You Raise Me UP" is one of my favorite hymns...
God Bless. Dixie
BJ, please send Mr. BJ over to help me! WOW! Talented man that he is! Love the hutch.
And Miss Deeds looks adorable in her softball uniform. What a cutie pie! And she is Number 1!

Your hubby certainly did do a fabulous job building the hutch to fit on that table and I can see why you love it so much:-) LOVE the colour you painted it as well!!
Your Mizz Deeds is just adorable in her softball uniform and she already looks like she's having a ton of fun:-)
B.J., I can't put the "Followers" button on my blog because I haven't customized my blog. I would need to do that before I could add it. I prefer to use the HTML template and that's why I never went to "customize"! lol xoxo
Morning BJ,
That is the most perfect hutch I have ever seen! Oh, and the color is equally delish :)
Hugs,
Dena

I love drop leaf tables too! And what a lovely hutch it became..beautiful..enjoy!
Wow! BJ, I love your hutch! Tell DH he did a great job! Deeds is a cutie, that's for sure.
OK, I want that table and hutch top for my house! LOL! Your husband did such a great job on that project. The colonial red really makes all your dishes pop. Totally love it.
Your sweet compliments mean the world to me. Thanks so much for stopping by. I would love to see more of your decorating. Everything that I see is just too beautiful for words. Happy Met Monday! Amy :)
Hi BJ, I am rushing around getting ready to go to therapy. There's a good three hours shot. One hour round trip and 2 hrs. of therapy. I really like the people there.
Now for that awesome harvest drop leaf table. I love it under the hutch. You've got yourself one handy dh. I have seen it before but now I know the details of how it came to be. The col. red is the perfect color. A great job done on a treasure you loved.
Deed is adorable and of course she is number ONE!!
Gotta run! Have a happy blue Monday.
Hugs...jeanne
My niece is playing softball for the first time this year, too. I am excited for her first game.
I am hosting 13 giveaways this week. I hope you'll stop by.
That is an amazing transformation. I love the new hutch.
