At Home: Sherri Dugger's Kitchen

She brings her rustic pastimes indoors.


Flaunting a sleeve of Indiana tattoos while canning hot-pepper jam in her Morristown farmhouse, the motorcycle-riding editor of Farm Indiana sows a budding image of the modern Hoosier.
Skillets
Dugger says Griswold pans are worth up to several hundred dollars based on the rarity of the model number, found on the bottom.
Light
Dugger thinks it’s funny when guests inquire if the recently bought Lowe’s fixture is one of her unique finds.
Cabinets
These are from ReStore on 22nd Street, one of Habitat for Humanity’s home-improvement shops that sell used items at a discount.
Refrigerator
Dugger’s husband, a mechanic, refurbished the vintage Westinghouse icebox with automotive paint.
Fresh Veggies
Dugger and her husband grow a lot of their own food. They are adding garden space to their front yard to develop produce for local charities.
Stove
This original 1957 model came from the Salvation Army on 86th Street.
Kitchen Scale
Found at Exit 76 Antique Mall in Edinburgh; Dugger estimates it weighs at least 85 pounds.

In June, Dugger and her husband raised money for their mission trip to Colombia by selling three dozen jars of their homemade strawberry-jalapeño jam.
Table
A staple of a retro-cool kitchen is a midcentury linoleum-topped metal table.
Glassware
These lowball glasses—displaying pictures of cavemen—were given away at Marathon gas stations in the ’70s.
Overalls
Her father-in-law has given her three pairs that she wears around the house.
