Tips on Installing Hardware

 #18 on my 40 by 40 is "Install Kitchen Hardware" and I can mark it DONE!


I'm no expert, but here's some tips:

 Make yourself a template out of cardboard (this is actually a paint sample card).  Otherwise you will have to measure it over and over each time.

 You cabinets are not perfectly level and you would never notice until you install hardware.  You want to install the hardware level to each other, not exactly the same spot on each door.

Everyone on the planet probably already knew this, but you can not drill in reverse.  I thought I dulled all my drill bits or that my drill was broken.  Nope, I had just hit the red button and didn't realize it.

Here's the other side of the kitchen.  

I really want to pain my island green w/ a brown glaze. Thoughts?

If you want to know about how I painted my kitchen, you can read all about it here.
