Cabinets and Haircuts

Yesterday, Jamie and I began installing knobs and handles on our kitchen cabinets and drawers. We got all the hardware we needed FOR FREE. We found it in the dumpster at a construction site. Just kidding. Inside joke. Jamie actually got everything at good old Costco. Anywho...so the knobs were fairly easy to install, but we found we need longer screws for the drawer handles. Either that or a drill bit that will make part of the hole bigger so we can get the screw in further. Other than this cabinet over the stove, we thought we did a pretty bang up job.

I'm turning into quite the handyman. Riiiight.

Oops! The screw came in at an angle and split some of the wood. We still put the knob on, but its a little crooked, so we'll have to fix this one.

They certainly add a nice touch to the kitchen.

Earlier in the week, Jamie took the girls to get a haircut. The next day, Jamie played stylist/make-up artist with Kaylin. Kaylin loved it so much, she cried when her hair got messed up from her nap and made Jamie redo it.

What cute cabinets. I'm so proud of you. It would have looked better with free construction site wood, but I guess Costco wood is almost as good.
