9. Add a vintage piece. Teaming up contemporary and vintage pieces is a mix-and-match approach that works brilliantly in other rooms but isn’t often used in the kitchen. Hanging a vintage display case to supplement built-in contemporary cabinets adds loads of personality, not to mention lovely visual variety.

Who lives here: This is a weekend getaway for interior designer Barbara Hyde Evans. Location: Rockaway Beach, Oregon Size: 1,300 square feet (121 square meters); 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms The house was move-in ready, with cottage elements like tongue and groove walls, beadboard ceilings and mahogany floors, when the designer scooped it up, so most of her work was just doing light cosmetic touches and furnishing.
Sustainable Kitchens Before it was converted, the barn was open to the roof, with the tiles visible. “The owners had to repair the roof joists,” says Shaw, “and plaster that area in to create a ceiling, using traditional lime render that is sympathetic to the age of the building.” The tall pantry and almost all the appliances fill the far wall, which marks the boundary between the barn and the house.
The kitchen sits on the house side of the barn, with space for dining and a lounging area at the other end, and access to the garden. “There is a separate living room, behind the larder wall, so the barn operates as a kitchen and relaxed family space,” Shaw says.
Where to buy Hoosier cabinets. Hoosier cabinets, Fyffe says, are hard to find, except by chance. Garage sales and antiques stores are your best bet. Some online sites, like eBay and Houzz, sell vintage Hoosier cabinets too. If antique isn’t your thing, but you like Hoosier cabinets, you can make a new one yourself. There are woodworking plans for Hoosier cabinets out there. American Woodworker published a how-to guide by Tim Johnson in its December 1999 issue.
Kitchen Concepts, Inc. SaveEmail The Hoosier cabinet in Terlouw’s project still has the flour mill with sifter. A pie safe they painted red and colorful vintage tea towels tie the kitchen space together.
Kitchen Concepts, Inc. SaveEmail Kitchen designer Marilyn Terlouw, of Kitchen Concepts, says her client purchased this yellow and green Hoosier cabinet at a local antique mall — a nostalgic reminder of one her grandmother used.
SaveEmail What makes a Hoosier cabinet so special? You might think they’re just simple cupboards, but they’re so much more. Yes, they store staples like flour, sugar and spices, and utensils. However, they also have workable parts inside, like flour sifters, meat grinders and rotating spice carousels. Some have fold-down ironing boards. The niftiest part is the tabletop surface that slides outward to provide more work surface.
SaveEmail Hoosier cabinets are so named because most of them were made in Indiana. The first Hoosier cabinets appeared in 1898, made by a furniture company called Sellers, based in New Castle, Indiana. Between 1899 and 1949, there were about 40 different manufacturers of Hoosier cabinets. However, the top two companies were Sellers and the Hoosier Manufacturing Company. McDougall, Boone, Nappanee and Wilson were also popular Hoosier cabinet manufacturers. (Wilson was in Michigan.)
A Hoosier cabinet is a freestanding kitchen workhorse that was popular in the first half of the 20th century. So much more than just a storage cabinet, this versatile piece was outfitted with a flour sifter and more. Today the Hoosier cabinet can be an efficient, functional addition to any kitchen.
Shelf risers. If your kitchen is short on cabinet space, make the most of what’s available with a riser or two. These handy organizers allow you to stack up the plates, cups and bowls without compromising accessibility.
