Need visual ideas for Sidebar/Hutch/Computer/Bar area?

[whiteyswifey]

We have an 8' wall in our kitchen that needs to incorporate lots of things, and preferably with some of them behind closed doors. We're open to building it ourselves, hacking Ikea cabinets, and anything else, but want it to look like it belongs in the space.

Any ideas?

Yes, barrister cabinets:





Ikea cabinets as a floating hutch (I really like this idea):



{House Tweaking}



More traditional Ikea hack of Hemnes - Hutch with glass:





And if you just want something cheap and quick - check JCPenney's they have had some on sale (my mom was looking at them online yesterday):

This white one (JCP hutch sale) is only $69

You can build your own with the modular set (my mom is considering this one).

I found this thing on Craigslist. It was a horrendous yellow-ivory but I love it now that it's painted.  We never use the desktop anymore so there's a bunch of junk shoved in there now, please ignore.  And pour one out for my LOVE ornament, who died in the taking of this picture (see it shattered below in the second shot, it came unlooped from the knob it was hanging on).  :-(

I got a cabinet like Dr. Girlfriend's from Costco a couple months ago. It was $350 or $400 I think. I love having a hidden filing cabinet in my kitchen, mail sorting takes seconds now.
