Time to change your drawers...


No, I don't have a music trivia solution for that title, but it has the makings of a country song.  ;-)

You may be thinking, "Time for long-johns, Jim?"  Well, it is downright chilly today - started at 55º this morning and is down to 49º this afternoon - but, no, I don't intend to spend much time out there... except for a short excursion to the BBQ place for lunch.  But, again I digress.

Joan has been wanting to put drawer pulls and knobs on the cabinets and drawers in the house.  It is all custom cabinets throughout the house and they have finger indentations designed in.  So, Joan used the tool she got to make sure the positioning all matches, marked the spots, and I drilled.

Before...


After...


Installing the hardware...


The kitchen with only the pantry done...


And, the rest...


Living room and kitchen are done, bathrooms and bedroom to go.  Good project on a day you where you don't want to be outside.  :-)

May I ask-- How did you two survive without Pulls & Knobs??

Hi HRB. Yes, you may ask. Wait, you already did. When we built this house, the cabinet-maker suggested that it would look sleek with no knobs or pulls, we agreed, and he put a hand indentation on each drawer and door. Now, Joan wanted handles and knobs... she marked the spots, I drilled, she mounted the hardware. We have a lot of custom built-in drawers throughout the house... it was an all-day project. There are 27 in just our bedroom, but we are still undecided on whether to put pulls on those.
