While I have considered our kitchen project "done" for a few months now, there are still a few little finishing touches that need to be added. One of these was the cabinet and drawer pulls, which, we found, are a VERY convenient thing to have. We've been prying cabinets and drawers open by their edges ever since the new doors were installed (in Auguest?), and I must say, I was very tired of it. The decision on which type of pulls were the perfect ones was a bit overwhelming for us, but we finally did it. (Actually, I think our time of three months is about two years faster than our brother-in-law in Seattle, so we can feel good about that. :) Tonight Matt installed the final knobs, and we're both very pleased with how they look. As we were cleaning up from supper, we both made a big deal about commenting each time we had to open a drawer or cabinet, "Wow! That's just so nice!...What a perfect door pull!...Handles on the fronts of drawers are just SO convenient!" I guess that's the nice thing about waiting for something...you appreciate it so much more when you have it.

When we saw the cabinets, I just assumed that you were on the forefront of childproofing! Glad that resolution won't need to wait for Erin's adulthood. Congrats, Matt!

Hey! I was hoping to see a photo of the actual drawer pull thingies. Congratulations and enjoy them. It's funny how you learn to live with the minor annoyances of a house and then every time you confront them you feel very alive and when they are fixed you can feel even more alive :)
Hi, AB,
Wouldn't have worked...no pulls on the doors wasn't a deterrent at all to the kids. It was just an inconvenience to the adults.
Julia,
The pulls are so plain that it makes it truly comical that it took us so long to choose them. They're black and round, but I really like the shape. They feel good when you grip them...important.
