Good morning,
How do you like your nuts?
Shelled, or in-shell?
I can tell you how these guys like them…
…any possible way they can get them.
Darn turkeys.
Thieves.
Wild thieves.
About 30 or so wild thieves.
But, I ask you the question because I have another hutch to show you, with a couple of options.
First, here are the BEFORE shots:
Again, this hutch originally had scrollwork at the top and in the middle. It was removed and streamlined like I have done in the past.
Now, it is my Hazelnut (aka those filberts those darn turkeys are stealing from our orchard!)
Back to those options.
As you can see, I added a wire panel on the back and designed this (per Alyssa’s suggestion) so that you can leave the wood panel off for a French Country style…
…or screw the wood panel back on for a Farmhouse look.
With the wood panel on, the wire stands out more and gives the back texture.
With the wood panel off, it has a totally different feel – and is great for those who want their wall to show through.
Shelled…
In-shell…
Shelled…
In-shell…
Darn turkeys.
If they keep eating our filberts, they may find themselves on a big silver platter come that 4th Thursday in November!
Be inspired,

Turning lifetime passion into livelihood. It's about time! I'm Shari. I am a 40-something wife, mother, corporate professional turned design stylist, avid sports fan, and usually exhausted 24/7 keeping up with it all. I love my family, my home, my work...and the chaos that comes with it. I also happen to adore my beagle, Scout. 
What a beauitufl hutch!! Love how you transformed it…the color is beautiful too!! I like the back on, behind the wire.
Looks great, Shari. I love the color. I miss having turkeys running around. I wish some would swoop down and eat all the black walnuts that are all over the ground in our yard! They are messy!
Fantastic hutch!! I love the color. We have wild turkeys in NJ but they just walk around and are lazy by my house.
Cynthia
Love! I like it shelled.
Those turkeys look yummy too. LOL!
Yeah I’m pinning that, the wire on the back LOVE it. But you have a nut orchard???? Seriously??? You’ll find me amongst the turkeys.

Cheers!

Great job on creating a different look. I love the hutch without the wood backing. The wire is so unique. I’ve seen it, of course, on doors but not on the back. Love it. Great job.

Shelled, please! Beautiful hazelnut china hutch! Great job. -Angela @ http://mrswhitetwigandtea.com
Lovely. I was just thinking of hazelnuts today. Love the wire.
Love it! And I can’t imagine a flock of hazelnut stealing turkeys swarming Chicago …
Linda
Beautiful! I like what you did with the backing. Be sure I will be copying you.
Love the transformation. I honestly don’t know which way I like it best…both options look great!
I just love this hutch – and the chicken wire on the back is brilliant!
Hi Shari: Beautiful colors you chose for your hutch, and I love the contrasting knobs as well–very nice work! Take care, and have a fantastic week!
Beautiful, beautiful hutch Shari!….love the color and the wire that you added…perfect! I have been seeing more wild turkeys in my area lately…didn’t know that they could be such a pesky breed!
