<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 2073836, member: 50"]When I saw the green paint it reminded me of the cabinet in my basement. This hoosier style came out of my husbands great-grandparents farmhouse. The "kitchen" was a tiny room with a woodstove for cooking and this cabinet. We rescued this when the house was about to be sold. Only one room in the house had electricity and I don't think it had running water. There was a spring in the front yard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the cabinet had extensive rodent damage, the paint was missing in places and the black from the woodstove was thick. I repaired and painted the bottom half gray years ago and had the bottom in the kitchen of my last house. I removed all the doors thinking I would paint them and sanded lightly but...well...it's just a junk repository at the moment. It was a tidy workspace for a long time but things got out of hand and neglected.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just wanted to share the pattern that was original on the green paint as I love it. You can still see what remains on the top part and the doors still have a pattern. It does have a flour bin (left) and the right bottom drawer that's pulled out is zinc lined. There are some tambour doors. (Don't actually remember too much it's been sitting there 25 years)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]249799[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]249808[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
