How to Install a Hoosier Cabinet Sugar Bin

Restoring a Hoosier cabinet is a labor of love that is well worth the effort. The early 1900s, all-in-one kitchen storage centers were filled with compartments and storage gadgets -- including a sugar bin with a funnel-like dispenser -- which often didn't make it intact through the years. Reproduction sugar bins for Hoosier cabinets are available, designed to fit in the original sliding mounting brackets, making putting the finishing touches on your restoration a snap.
