What a door knob!

Hey, I started putting on the cabinet hardware tonight. Fun! I bought a great little tool. It is a plastic template that has lots of different holes in it and 2 edges that hook over the door so that each door has its knob in the same spot. FAST! I recommend it highly. Even if you have to drill your own hole, like I did, you get very even results.

One caution, however. Always open the door first to make sure that you are drilling on the proper side of the door. Um. Yes, that is knowledge born of experience. I need to buy one new door for my gain of this knowledge. Just hoping you do not need to repeat my expense. Thought I would try to help you out.

On the good side, I really like the stainless (brushed nickel) hardware. It picks up the stainless appliances and also blends in a little. Here are a couple of pics.

I have chosen the older style cup pulls for the drawers...leaving that for another night. Yup, taped on for now
Hope you like it!

Oh, one more thing. 2 weeks ago, I sold my old fridge. A really nice guy named Verne bought it for $80. I no longer have a fridge next to my couch. I was really anxious to get rid of it, because walking into someone's house and seeing a fridge next to the couch says: She is just too lazy to walk further for the snacks while watching TV. Not a good message!

I sold it on a very cool site that everybody but me knew about called craigslist.org
Amazing! it is pretty much a classifieds site, not fancy, set up by city, and best yet...entirely free! Your email is disguised and no name is given, unless you give it. I guess you have to be wary some, but you do with the newspaper too! It was great. I put the fridge up and in 24 hours I had 13 people who were expressing interest. Highly recommended.
