| Thanks to Bon Ami the enamel top looks great. |
"A what?" I asked.
"A hoosier" he answered.
 |
| A Hoosier is a type of cupboard popular in the first decades of the 20th century. |
He then proceeded to tell me all about it.
I could tell, he was sold...obviously.
Help, I've inherited a Hoosier.
Help, I've inherited a Hoosier.

| All things tea and coffee are stored in the top. |
I really didn't want a Hoosier...
but he always puts up with the things I bring home so I needed to come up with a plan.
 |
| The calendar hangs nicely from a wire I strung inside. From the other inside door hangs coupons and the like. |
He's the one that is always saying
we need to stop accumulating and think about downsizing.
And here he is with a Hoosier in the Odyssey.
"Can you help me bring it in?" he asked.
"Alright."I responded trying to keep my composure.

| Vintage Dust Collectors |
Now, 7 cans of spray paint later,
here it is in the kitchen.
 |
It looks like the family likes the chalkboard panels I
added with chalkboard paint. *Note to self....get dustless chalk.
|
He thinks it's great.
 |
| This is my husband's mother as a child in front of a different Hoosier. |
It seems so small to me...
were people that much shorter 100 years ago?

It is gorgeous and I have never heard it called that and I really really really love all the duster dust collectors on the top. Love it
This is such a gorgeous piece!
Love the Hoosier, but I totally understand the downsizing too. We have a five year plan, so I have five years to get rid of as much junk as possible. I love the photo of the tea shelf!
I remember my maternal grandmother having one, we call it a trastero. Google translate translates that Spanish word to Storage Room. I guess that's what it is. I wish I had pictures of it, it was all white. I love the one you have and the way you painted it.
