Yes, I finished the hoosier (or baker's cabinet or cupboard) and boy was I pleased. I love how it turned out and I love the experience I gained by painting this piece. (Well, the painting was no new experience- the hours of stripping the paint was where I gained the knowledge. And, that is why I was able to listen to Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath.)
T ah-dah! Naw, it is not staying in our kitchen. I would have done a different color to stand out from the yellow walls, but it does match, eh?
Inside the enclosed cabinet doors I painted periwinkle blue which gave it a contrast.
It is very rustic (some splits in the wood and a tad of the previous finish shows through, but I love it so).
And, a little reminder of where it once came. Definitely an improvement. Oh, if you are interested in purchasing this, leave a comment below and I can give you the details of where to go get it (in Staunton, VA of course!)
Wow, Dawn. That is amazing!!
