I love our Hoosier cabinet.
We have had it for about 30 years.
I had lunch a few weeks ago with my friend, Pam, whose dad found this for us. He found it in a lady's shed, covered in two coats of paint & mud dauber nests. $25.00. Pam & her brother, David, helped us refinish it. Pam's dad, got me started on the project. Pam & David, who were teenagers in our church youth group, would come to our house on Saturdays to help us get it finished. I can't even begin to remember how many hours it took to finish the job. Many! We had fun working on the project.
Through the years I have enjoyed decorating it with different vignettes.

This cabinet is a treasure.
Thank you Pharis family for making it possible.
What a fun piece of furniture. I have a girlfriend with a Hoosier Cabinet. She decorates it all the time for holidays and just when the mood strikes. You'll enjoy that for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI really love your Hoosier, Carol, and loved hearing the story of how you got it. You always decorate it just perfectly.
