Oh, wow, if I had a hoosier cabinet in my bedroom, I think I would use the flour bin to hold my socks. Just toss them in with no concern for neatness.
We, too, have a horizontal style dresser in my dining room as a server/buffet.
We also have a 1920's small wardrobe in the dining room. I should say our dining room doubles as our office. Inside the wardrobe we have put assemble-it-yourself wire shelving from target. They fit as if custom made for it. The wardrobe now holds printer, paper, and tools for husband's work.
In one bedroom we have a 1960 stereo cabinet. The shelves meant for vinyl records were just right to hold magazines, all kinds of paper, and art supplies when my child was young. Later, it transitioned to holding cables, electronic components, and tools. We found a cedar hutch that fit on top of it perfectly---$6 from St. Vincent de Paul store! I think the hutch was originally for a dining room, as it has a plate rail in it, but it is great as a book case.
