I'm downsizing, and trying to decide if I should keep this or the China cabinet.
I bought it from a used furniture store in Washington State around 2005 because I loved the curvy lines and color. There are no marks that I can see.
It appears to be solid wood, and includes 3 original keys and bakelite handles. The dish area and silverware drawer are lined in green felt. There is a section with original storage jars of some kind (see photos), and a metal towel rack inside one lower drawer. The counter area is made of an unknown material, but we had a kitchen table in Bavaria made from a similar type of stuff. Another little door has a marble slab inside; someone suggested it might be for bread.
The top section is removeable.
Any information you can share on value, age, or type of wood and surfaces would be very much appreciated
Looking for plans for a Hoosier kitchen cabinet. I already found one on Popular Woodworking but wouldn't mind another to get some extra ideas and flexibility in it.
I did find one on Woodcraft that I could pay for physical plans but first it is out of stock and second doesn't describe it well so hesitant on spending that money for potentially garbage plans.
Are there and subreddits where I can find more things like that?
Edit* Honestly, searching by topic is useless. I search 'nooks,' and I get posts about e-readers. I search 'pockets' and get posts about RWBY. 'Cubbies' is just flooded with baseball. I need a guide to lead me to my goal.
Found this large cabinet in our garage when moving into our new home. Itβs a chunky piece of kit with what looks like a refrigerated section in the middle.

So my in-laws have an old Hoosier Cabinet that is in dire need of some work. Someone painted it with this awful hunter green crackle paint. Itβs time to strip it down and re finish it. Iβve got a couple questions for everyone!
First, the enamel countertop is in decent shape, but has a couple good chips in it. How can I fix this? Do I build it up and paint over it? Sandblast it and re-enamel it? This is something I have zero experience with.
Also, are there any certain βstandardβ colors or stains these things came with? Not sure how I plan to finish it, but Iβd like it to be a full on restoration, having it look as close to original as possible.
Lastly, am I in the right sub? I didnβt know where to look, so I started here. Can anyone direct me to another subreddit??
Thanks!!
Since we moved into our house, I have been wanting to get rid of our kitchen cabinets. They are really old and we can't get the disgusting smell out of them. Our kitchen is tiny and we have very little counter space. A while ago I had the idea of replacing a bunch of the cabinets with an antique Hoosier cabinet. After a few estate auctions, I found one that is in amazing shape and got it for a decent price. As good of a shape as it's in, I still want to clean and disinfect it thoroughly because we will be storing dishes, dry goods, and spices in it but I'm afraid using a kitchen disinfectant spray will damage the wood and porcelain counter. I was hoping someone on here would have more incite. It's a Sellers & Sons cabinet and I'm not sure how old it is. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Theyβre on standbi
