In our original kitchen, the maple cabinet fronts had no knobs and there was a little indentation on the tops for your fingertips to facilitate opening the door. The drawers had the same design on the bottom. Here’s a picture of the lil’ beauties from our home inspection.
I know, I know, ick. Sometimes I look back at these pics and wonder what we were thinking when we (okay, it was just me), decided I must live here?! But, we’ve made progress, and now it’s time for the finishes and fun stuff.
Even though the fingertip grooves still remained on the painted cabinets and drawers, the white semi-gloss paint left them looking rather flat (but still so much prettier), so we wanted a knob or pull that would bring some dimensionality back to their surface. We opted for two knob styles from good ol’ Home Depot because we liked the brushed steel finish, sleek style, and frankly Frank, we liked the price. The smaller knob went on the short cabinet uppers, and we used the longer pull on the bigger cabinets and some of the drawer fronts.
To refresh your memory, the oven/stove area looked like this at our home inspection.
And now, for the big cabinetry knob reveal (insert drumroll here, please)…
Yahoo! Not only do we love the improved functionality of our kitchen appliances, but we also love the sleek and contemporary lines of our prettier cabinetry. What do you think? Next up, bye-bye florescent behemoth.
