Dining Hutch Re-do...NEED YOUR IDEAS!

Craig's List has proved itself once again! I found a great old sturdy dining hutch for $50 (bargained down from $75. BAM!) It is currently warm and cozy in our garage until it warms up enough to sand and paint. I have been debating on antiquing it with white for the old world cottage look, or give it some pop with a colonial red...I will post some before pics, and would love your imput!

The above picture is my inspiration piece which I found on the fabulous blog: www.thecraftingchicks.com
