The hoosier cabinet is a piece of history. Before we had these great functional kitchens, we had free standing furniture. They would serve as a pantry, cabinet and working counter. I bought mine a few years ago and she was a mess. She had been badly stripped and revarnished. So I took on a new project. I stripped and sanded until I couldn't no more. I became best friends with the Dremel. That little tool is great for all those little nooks and crannies. I decided to repaint her. There were too many hole to putty old and new. She had been abused but now she is proudly displayed.

I am very thankful we live with such modern conveniences. But I do wish life was as simple as it was in the past. And maybe less busy too!
