Love Handles.


before handles

Now we only have had the kitchen cabinets for about 9 months, so it was about time to add the handles. We had ordered the handles with the cabinets originally, but they showed up with a small number of knobs we didn't want. After wrangling the rest of the handles and sending back the knobs, we are ready to start. Using a jig provided by the cabinet makers, Elsa and Deder got to drilling!
Cupboard doors were easy, but the drawers had to be back-drilled for the short screws.
Sometimes I forget how small she is.

Of couse, these large handles looked pretty silly on the tiny top row. What were we going to do? After a week of debate and test handles, we agreed on--knobs. OK at least we are done with that now.
