Hardware and Dishware

Installing all of the pulls for the drawers was a bit more effort the knobs on the cabinet doors. Centering and leveling is very important for the resulting look. After marking the locations, I drill pilot holes for the bolts. Unfortunately the pulls came with standard 1" bolts, which were fine for the cabinets but too short to go through the draw frame and front face. The new longer bolts work well for the standard drawers, but the faux drawers at the sink have even less depth than the cabinet doors. I need to return to Home Depot to get 3/4" bolts for these two handles.

When I finish this simple task after multiple days I celebrate with a beer. I begin unpacking my kitchen dishes, drinkware, silverware, pots, pans, etc. I finally get to unpack my gifted William-Sonoma monogrammed glassware, but realize that I am lacking in matching silverware and dishware. After research I determine that Ikea will suffice and fill my other cabinet with dishes and coffee mugs and my silverware drawer with a bamboo organizer.
