HOOSIER CABINET ~

I just had to show you my latest "Diamond in the Rough" ~

Garry and I were heading to Amarillo a couple of weekends ago.  As we were passing through Panhandle TX, we spotted a Garage Sale!

There sat this Beautiful Hoosier Cabinet.  The owner was trying to decide a price to put on it. 

 I was standing a little distance away just waiting to see what she would decide on.

Suddenly, she placed the price tag on it.  

Hoping for a bargain, I went to check it out.

$15.00 ! ! !

I TOLD HER I WOULD TAKE IT.

She commented to her friends that she sold her Pile of Sticks.

I must admit it needs a little reinforcement,

BUT, . . .

I know Garry can Fix It Up for Me!

I am anxious to get started on it.

It will go in my New Sewing Shoppe as a Display Piece.

I have another Hoosier in my house and I just love it!

It was left in an old house that we purchased several years ago.

It was painted yellow, so I added a coat of burgundy and just sanded it a little.

It is one of my Favorite Pieces!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hi!

I have a Hoosier that I had stripped ... and there it sits. Now I have a place for it and can't decide whether to paint it or have it stained (not sure I could do that myself). If I paint it I'll have to decide on a color!!

Anyway, I decided to do a Google image search to see what's out there and came across your blog.

So, did you prime this before you painted? If not, why not? If so, what type of paint did you use as primer AND for the color.

I LOVE the way you finished this and cannot believe you "stole" it for $15.00. Congrats!

Thanks so much,
DONNA !!

Thank you for your inquiry!

When I got this hoosier cabinet, it was painted yellow. I didnt care for it at all. I was trying to decide whether to keep it or sell it. I decided to give it a quick coat of burgandy paint to see how it would look. I wasnt satisfied with it at all so I got my electric sander out and got after it. The more I sanded, the better I liked it.

It really wasnt anything that was planned out, it just happened!

Good Luckwith your project!
