Kitchen Cabinet Hardware Upgrades

Kitchen Cabinet Hardware Upgrades

For 11 years I have hated my kitchen.

The 90s era cabinets that I can’t even fit my plates in. The white tile floor that shows all the dirt and doesn’t match the rest of the kitchen. The wall paint that doesn’t match the cabinets or the floor. The layout. The lack of light. You name it and I don’t like it.

I’d like to have a hard conversation sometimes with the sellers as to why they picked out what they did when they did a minor reno right before we bought it. I don’t have the $$$ to rip it out and start over.

But this weekend I was reminded of how little things can sometimes make a big difference and I’m not sure why it took me 11 years to do it.

The cabinets/drawers originally had no hardware other than bronze hinges. The sellers put silver hardware. WTF? That doesn’t match.

So this weekend I took off all the silver hardware and replaced with bronze hardware that now matches the hinges, the faucet, the pantry door knobs/hinges, etc.

What a difference $135 made for the better!

I went to a fun crafting event last week at @lnc.a I went to a fun crafting event last week at @lnc.artistry with a few other ladies, wine, and snacks. We bedazzled a book! 

I took my favorite book ever, a signed copy of @elizabeth_gilbert_writer's, #EatPrayLove, as I thought it would look cool with some jewels. 

It's hard to see in any light I tried to take a photo in but it was fun. Here's some other books that got bedazzled as well.

If you are a fan of cats (who isn't?) I recommend If you are a fan of cats (who isn't?) I recommend this book that I checked out from my local library. Stunning photography and interesting stories from all over the world about various cultures and their cats by Hannah Shaw (@kittenxlady) and her husband, Andrew Marttila (@thecatphotographer).

This is my new @retro1951 @smithsonian Dinosaur Fo This is my new @retro1951 @smithsonian Dinosaur Fossil fountain pen with a medium nib. Isn’t it grand? I love how it looks like an antique already. Plus, it pairs perfectly with all my dino @lego at work and home. I put @ferriswheelpress Steeped Umber in it which is a medium brown and that makes it even better! Smooth writer. I have this same nib and pen in the Winnie-the-Pooh version so I knew I would love it. #Retro1951 #Smithsonian #Dinosaur #Lego #FountainPen #FerrisWheelPress #Ink
