In love with my... grillmate!

Bought this grillmate at TJ's about a month ago.  I think it was about $12 maybe? I absolutely loveeeee it!  I use the grill side almost every night to cook up veggies or the occasional ham steak.  The opposite side has a griddle, but I have not tried it out yet.

China Hutch Project

My sister-in-law (who is REALLY into china) suggested a while back to me that I paint the inside of my china hutch for more of a contrast.  The entire hutch was white and I had white china.  It was kind of blendy-iny.
I have been ignoring my china hutch for a while, as you can see I still have my Christmas china displayed (in August).
The Christmas china pops, but my china is lost against the white.  I taped off some of the back sections and painted it the same color as my walls.
There was a pass through at some point which was walled up.  I just stuck to the sunken wall (not sure what the technical term is) parts.  The result below is very subtle.
My lighting doesn't do it justice.  Also I only have 5 china settings, so I had to be creative!
