How to reuse the mirrored hutch from top of dresser
We've got a 1977 bedroom set - pine, cannonball foot/head board and low dresser with mirrored hutch on top... Any ideas of reusing that hutch? Appreciate your help ~
Here are my few thoughts:
You can either put a piece of wood in the open part and add decorative hooks and use as a coat rack, or add a mirror and use it on a long hallway wall.
add some bun feet and a marble top for a narrow storage piece. Heck I’d hang it on the wall in my garage before I trashed it.
I like it as a wall hung shelf, someplace you need a small surface, like in an entry hall with a mirror above. I hope you kept the rest of the hutch … it could be fabulous storage in a bathroom or studi-office or wall hung in a walk in closet holding purses and accessories.

Hi, Are there shelves in the hutch part? I have seen the top part of dresser or hutches put directly on the floor to make bookshelf. They look really cool and make for lower shelving.

Remove it and decorate it and mount it on the wall. Here is one I did. https://uniquecreationsbyanita.com/mixed-media-mirror-makeover/

Here's a unique one I found. They hung the top on the wall. Good luck and stay safe!
You could use the mirror as a wall-hung mirror after doing something with the frame. A photo would help with suggestions.
I've seen people add legs to the bottom of the top of the hutch and turn it into a coffee bar.
I have seen quite a few of these made into a coffee bar.
