Hoosier Cabinet

After lots and lots of work. Hubby has finished stripping and refinishing the Hoosier cabinet for me.

Still has all original parts, including: the flour sifter, the glass sugar dispenser and the two baskets, one for lids and one for spices.


We found glass tiles (light enough and thin enough) to do the top with. It was quite the challenge. Originally, they were porcelain (tough to find). Most materials were either too thick or too heavy to allow the bread board to slide.


I wasn't really sure what to fill it with. S & V suggested pottery. Hubby got me the milk bottles from an antique mart. Still looking for eclectic mix of items to go in it...

The cabinet looks good. I really like the tiles, that was a good idea. Good job!
