Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature

again about the Hispanic people...

there are several passages where "trastero" is used

1- a young couple is visiting their parents back in the village in the mountains, the old father is talking with the younger man, and then,
"He got up and reached for an old weathered carving of a bear that sat high on top of a trastero..." after a little bit talking, "he [the old man] again went to the trastero and took out a piece of faded paper."

2- a rich man's office in Albuqeurque is described as,
"The room was decorated in wood and leather with fine-grained oak furniture and bookshelves. A large desk sat by the wall facing large plate-glass windows. Behind the desk hung a huge wooden plaque on which was engraved the coat of arms of the Duke of Alburquerque... A large, antiqued trastero housed the bar, and on the walls were shelves of books. More of Cynthia's paintings filled spaces..."

the dictionary says "trastero" to be a storeroom, or something that i cant remember (i guess related with dishwashing, perhaps a washboard), in either case, it doesnt seem to fit in the situations
