MsMolly,

Please, please, please, don't paint it and leave it out in the weather. What you have is an old Hoosier cabinet and these are very hard to find. Here's a picture of mine that I rescued from the elements and refinished. It also had been painted and left out in the rain. Most of the glue joints had started to come apart and I had to take it apart piece by piece and re-glue nearly the whole cabinet.

These cabinets are worth between 800 & 1200 dollars depending on the condition. I know it's your cabinet to do with as you see fit, but I wouldn't recommend leaving it outside. ☺
