Hoosier cabinets are plentiful in my area! You want to know the funny thing about the one you’ve shown? In my dining room, I have the bottom half of that Hoosier in there and use it for storage beneath and a buffet on top. Ours has a wooden top, of enameled, so I never knew it had a former life as a Hoosier cabinet until now!

We found it 30 years ago at our church’s Trash and Treasure tent when we had a festival there (someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure). Well, they had that cabinet marked for $20, and we were dirt poor. We needed something for the kids to put board games and toys in, so that was in our family room for the longest time. When we moved to Indiana, it found a home in the dining room. I have never been able to part with that piece. It is so versatile, and holds a LOT of stuff (larger serving pieces mostly). Very functional.

Nice table story! I have seen many an enamel table at many a garage sale, most in terrible shape, many with drawers missing. So about 3 years ago I saw one on our town's facebook sale page. 20 bucks. Dragged hubby over there and bought it on the spot. It sat in the barn for 2 years. I was going to refinish it and gift to someone. Finally got around to it. Repainted, made new drawer bottoms out of some nice coated greyish masonite I had on hand. Bought new drawer handles, cute pipe design, and bought casters. The table legs already had holes drilled for castors. The top was in excellent except for one chip on the edge but I bought a enamel repair kit, about 8 bucks. It's like epoxy, mix apply, it has a scraping tool to level and two different sanding discs. Worked great you can hardly tell.
