Displays in Your Kitchen Hutch

Using a hutch in the dining area makes both practical and home fashion sense.  The hutch is such an important piece in the French Country design scheme, and it offers a convenient place for storage right next to the table.  Of course, a hutch can also be used for displays, with open or glass shelving.  This article will provide some ideas for the use of a French country hutch in the kitchen or dining room area; some ideas are traditional, some more modern approaches, but the use it to inspire your own creativity when it comes to the use of this versatile piece!

•A favorite collection of dishes:  The collection of fine china or stoneware is a grand tradition, seen in many residences from local neighborhoods all the way to the White House.  Throughout history, there were families who entertained so much that guests could stay at the family home for one month without eating on the same dinnerware twice! Many people have a 2nd set of dishes or china stored somewhere in a cabinet.   Why not let these pieces, often chosen for their specific appeal to our tastes, become an item of decor instead of just a storage item?

•An eclectic collection of dishes:  A hutch can also be a great place to tie together a collection of mismatched dishes picked up at estate and garage sales, passed down from family members, or given as gifts.  Use a central color scheme to connect the various pieces to one idea.  The key is to space items well, so that each individual piece can be admired.

•Kitchen supplies:  Another ideas is the storage of canned goods and other non-perishables.  Many of today's products come in old style packaging. Watch for these "anniversary" items, or pick some up from a local merchant or general store.  Baking supplies are a great example of this, and can give your room the whimsical feeling of an old-time mercantile.

•Antiques: Display collections of small kitchen appliances and hand tools you have picked up throughout your searches.  In a display like this, each item can become a conversation piece! If you are a collector of brand name vintage advertising, you can attach the signs you have collected to the backboard of a hutch.

•Baskets and Copper:  A traditional pairing of two warm materials- straw and copper can be a great focal point for a French country kitchen.  This is an especially nice contrast when a cooler color such as blue or green is the dominant one in the room.

•Cookbooks:  A collection of personal favorites, family treasures, or junior league cookbooks from your travels is both practical and pretty.  You can combine books with figurines, mixing bowls, or other kitchen-appropriate items to prevent the display from becoming to heavy.

•Dry Goods:  Dry goods such as flour, sugar, beans, and pastas can be stored in glass containers.  Be sure to use airtight containers with tight fitting lids.  If desired, you can even attach the lids permanently to the underside of the hutch shelving, creating a permanent storage place for spices or other light items.

•Table linens:  A neatly stacked and folded combination of color coordinated kitchen linens and tea towels can transform a hutch into a focal point of color.

•Canning supplies:  Make your hutch reminiscent of a 1930's kitchen complete with grouped canning jars, lids, and other supplies.  Mixing up unfilled containers with homemade jars of brightly colored preserves and fruits makes this especially attractive.

Hopefully, this list will get your creative juices going.  There are most likely items you have right now in your own home that you'd like to see on display.  It's a great way for you to share your interests and personality with your guests.  One piece of furniture can help to create beauty, conversation, an convenience.

Problems fixed!

by J. Shaw from Anywhere United States on 2009-08-24
This supplier did have a problem in 2008 with some bad BLUE jars. As far as I know this affected the BLUE JARS only and the problem did not appear in the GREEN RED or FROSTED jars. The curing problem has been corrected with all jars and the supplier was very courteous about replacing the jars (I even kept the bad jars for other uses). I love the vivid colors and for the price, you cannot find anything like them.


Spicy

by Bigboggle from South Florida on 2009-06-08
These spice jars look great, only problem is the lids do not fit very tightly and probably will affect the quality of the spices over time.


labels remove blue surface

by Morgana from Bay Area, California on 2008-12-22
The bottles look beautiful, however when you try to remove the label from the bottom it peels off some of the blue coating. I wrote to the company and told them I would still keep the bottles but thought they should know about the problem with the labels. They did not reply to my note.


Good, VERY attractive spice jars, and roomy too!

by N. Porter from Midwest on 2008-03-20
While I agree that they should have mentioned that these are PAINTED on colors on the jars, I have to disagree that "they are flaking all over the place". Yes, they may not last as long as an actual blue glass shaker would have, but they seem robust enough and the color doesn't seem to be scraping off left and right. The paint flakes are TINY pinpoints flaking off, not as bad as the previous reviewer made it sound. They are good quality, not real high quality stainless lids, but they work, and I like the plastic insert shakers. They are very, very attractive too, and are slightly larger than most other spice jars I've ordered so I like that as well. I love the square shape too, adds a bit of decorativeness to it along with it being more economical to store lots of them next to each other. I wish they were actual blue glass and the stainless was a bit higher quality, but overall nice bottles.


Great Spice Jars!

by Linda Kelly from Yucaipa, CA USA on 2007-03-08
I love these red glass bottles. I looked everywhere for red glass bottles and then I found these. They are the perfect size and look so nice in my red retro kitchen.

Sprinkles

by Randi J. Oconnor from on 2007-11-13
Shipping was very fast. I bought 4 containers of sprinkles, Red, Dark Green, White and Blue. The red and green were fine but either the blue, white or both must have been kept near some other spices, because they had a strange taste to them. Nothing terrible but it was noticeable.

I hand make these with super absorbent polymer water gel crystals and the best fragrances I can locate. These are non toxic, environmentally safe and can be used for a very long time by simply recharging the crystals with a little distilled water when they start to dry out, be careful and do not add too much water and over expand the crystals.

Disappointed with shipping

by Huck Finn from Virginia on 2009-12-03
I ordered 2 of these jars. One came intact and the other came in 8 small pieces (broken during shipping). The box that it came in did not give any indication that a ceramic jar was inside. It did not say FRAGILE on it anywhere! Inside there was just a small air pocket in the big box that gave no protection for the jar. I am very disappointed with this shipping.

Exceptional Quality

by Michael Paul Sebek from Georgia, USA on 2009-05-11
I purchased 5 canisters (one was a Large Spice Jar) and a utensil crock for my wife for Mother's Day. All arrived in perfect condition. The price is "top-of-the-line," but the quality is outstanding, and validates the old adage that you get what you pay for.

My New Salt Jar

by angelfood from Way Down South on 2010-06-09
I am buying Real Salt in bulk now, and needed a Salt Pig for the counter. But I just couldn't seem to find one I liked. I wanted it closed, not with an open hole. That's convenient, but with summer flies coming in and out not too sanitary.I already have Le Creuset cast iron and stoneware so when I came across this item I jumped on it. I wasn't sure until it arrived that I had chosen the right size, but it's perfect! Holds about a cup of salt. The lid has a rubber seal which is airtight. That made it slow to remove so I took it off. To keep an herb mixture fresh, you would want to leave it on.This would be a perfect crock for pate. I wouldn't mind having a few more of these.A little pricey, but I used the 4-3 when buying several needed items. So this was a bonus.Love it!


Excellent product; NOT "Made in France"

by Michael Paul Sebek from Georgia, USA on 2009-07-04
We recently purchased several of these canisters/jars in various sizes. They are outstanding, but come with labels saying they are "Made in Thailand." Unless Thailand is now part of France, the Amazon review is incorrect. In sum - a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for: excellent quality.
