  9. I love things like this. My friend just sent me a pic of this great piece (http://www.facebook.com/#/photo.php?pid=2691256&op=3&o=global&view=global&subj=156197788682&id=618813214) from his shop. Makes me want to put very special things in each drawer. Lovely and rustic.

  21. These are awesome cabinets! I love that retro look. I would be hesitant to do anything but clean them up. If you re finish them it might take away from that charm.
