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.
I really love your Hoosier, Carol, and loved hearing the story of how you got it. You always decorate it just perfectly.
Be a sweetie,

Nice story and nice cabinet.
Terrific focal point for your kitchen...it is a wonderful piece with happy memories surrounding it.
OH! Carol I love your Hoosier cabinet! I have one in the barn that belonged to my grandmother that is covered in paint too, I have planned for years to redo it, but just haven't ,mainly because I know what a job, stripping can be. LOL Thanks , I am now motivated!!
I love your sign too.
Hugs,
