Anyone have ideas for this gem? My honey picked it up for my birthday.

Kitchen Cabinets
Slow but sure, that's how our four year old addition to the house is coming along. We tore down the old kitchen and put up the new one four years ago this month. We still need to finish the sheetrock, but at least it's all up, put in floors, the tongue and groove ceiling, and cabinets. Meanwhile, I figured I'd do what I could for the cabinetry. I have a wonderful hoosier that I've been using for a couple of years and was blessed to pick this up for $2 at a rummage sale a year ago-
Now that shabby chic is all the rage, refinishing this beast was a lot easier. :) A bit of sanding, a couple coats of paint and viola!
It's missing a drawer pull and I haven't be able to find one to match, but I'm still looking. I painted it to match my hoosier-
I'm excited about having more space. Now I'm looking for even more old cupboards. I may just do the whole kitchen in them.
Anyone have ideas for this gem? My honey picked it up for my birthday.
It's a bookcase without the shelves. I think it used to be part of a room divider between dining room and livingroom. It stands four feet tall. I love it, I just don't know what to do with it.

Your cabinet is so pretty! I LOVE old items too. They are just better made then a lot of todays items. I bet your kitchen is going to look great when done. Hope you have a great day.

Thanks Cary Ann. It's a work in progress and I don't expect it to be finished anytime soon. Some days I'd like to raze the whole thing and move in a modular! :)

Love your hoosier and new cabinet! As for your birthday present, why not make it into another kitchen cabinet? Build a cabinet on the floor with a shelf and doors on it, set this piece on top with shelves in it and stock both with kitchen stuff!

Mama Pea-That's an idea. I need to redesign my kitchen for about the fourth time since we put it up. I'll try to find a good spot for it.
