Notice: previous homeowner stain that won't come out...nobody wants to know what that is, let alone eat off of anything in a 2 mile radius...

A fresh coat of paint and some new stainless steel handles went from cute to fab...
HGTV says this is a cheap and easy update for your kitchen...
ummm have you seen the cost of hardware? And when you say easy...you realize this is a woman with a drill who can be very impatient and has trouble drilling holes straight?

Note to self...handles are 100 times harder to install than knobs...are they really worth it???

A towel hanger from
Ikea under the sink makes washing so much easier when the towels hanging from the stove are 10 miles away...plus little miss zebra rug deserved a little shout out ;)

Okay...so it wasn't so bad...the hardware came to about $50...an updated look that really makes the kitchen stand out...there was no blood...I think it was worth it!
