Home Improvement & B-day Dinner

We received a great Home Depot Giftcard for Christmas and for all of those homeowners, you know that this is Heaven on plastic! We knew just what we were going to use it on! Hardware for all of our cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Yes, we've lived in our house for a year and a half and have been awkwardly opening the cabinets since then. But hardware is expensive when you multiply it by all the number of cabinets!! I was in charge of measuring and marking and Colby did the drilling and placement of the knobs. Followed by me being in charge of cleaning up all of the sawdust! I think they look great! The funniest part is that it's been hard to remember to use the knobs! I find myself still reaching underneath, ha! Thanks Aunt Linda, we love them!

Love my handy husband
Yes it took a couple of days between study breaks to get them all doneBEFORE:

AFTER!! (yes the stain is the same, just looks different with the flash!) PS- ignore my cluttered kitchen :)Here's pictures from our fun dinner at Gloria's (yes-we're predictable) for Colby's birthday. Just can't resist those yummy $3 margaritas!

I love the cabinets. I need to do the same thing. It has been 4 years in the same house without knobs. I just can't spring for them!
