Before kitchens had built in cabinets, pieces of furniture were used to store food, utensils, and cooking supplies.
One of the most common pieces of kitchen furniture was a cupboard called a Hoosier cabinet, named because the most popular ones were made by the Hoosier Manufacturing company in, you guessed it, Indiana.
In the early 1970s I acquired one of these and began the process of refinishing and restoring it. I would buy one to cannibalize a part and then resell it, until the one I had was fairly complete.
The cabinet has moved around over the years, and this spring returned to me.
It was in need of having all of the drawers re-glued and the interior re-painted. It was my first spring project.
All done! Looks just right in our kitchen area.
Vicky took no time at all to put it to use:
