I know none of us Momma's (and Dad's) want to even start thinking about Back-to-School stuff quite yet ... but it IS right around the corner.
Give me a sec to take a deep breath ....
Thank you so much for all the positive comments and feedback on the Schoolhouse Desks Plans - you are lovely!
As promised, here's a matching hutch plan if that makes sense for your space.

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
