    Give it to me!!! HAHAHA!

    I would restore it and make the missing drawer areas into cubbies for long utensils. Some Rosemaling on the drawer fronts with Spice names or maybe vintage lettering for Dry beans & Onions, Potatoes, Squash, and other vegetables that don't need refrigeration would be nice. If its big enough, I would make the top a dry sink or Kombucha stand. Whatever you do, I hope you love it!

    You may want to take out a few drawers so you could lay down bottles of olive oil, wine, and such, that way you'd have extras to replace the missing ones. If it were me I'd do it in a white then distress it, kind of a shabby chic or paint it to complement or match your kitchen. The drawers look long enough to fit rolling pins and long utensils. Use it for what you need storage for, just enjoy yourself!

    I would use it for jewelry or scarves or gloves!

    I think you should throw it away. I will be glad to haul it off for you. :)

    Leave it as it is. Keys, small utensils that always get crazy, corn on the cob holders, measuring spoons. Aw heck, just let it sit empty! Really cool cabinet!

    Adorable! Would paint the drawer fronts different colors, Wayfair has one on their website I have been eyeing up, but very pricey!

    I would use it for storage of beads, findings, etc. I have an old catalog file in a similiar condition, a few missing drawers. I love the wood finish, would just clean it up a bit and oil it down.

  • What a great piece! I am in envy, even though I have no more room in this house. Think it will be fantastic in the kitchen, store less used utensils or seasonal dishes, linens, etc. What is the current style of your kitchen. Do you want to paint or just clean up?
