Cabinet
Hardware Install Project
We decided to take on a DIY project by installing our own
kitchen cabinet hardware, doorknobs and drawer pulls. Despite some minor setbacks we finished in a
few hours and then completed the master and hall bathrooms.
We picked out the hardware color for the kitchen based on
our pantry doorknob, which is brushed nickel. This way the whole house has the same color scheme. The cost for all the hardware for the kitchen
and two bathrooms was under $90 and the cleaning solution was made with items I
already had. The kitchen has 22 doors
and 10 drawers. The master bath has four
doors and eight drawers and the hall bath has only two doors. The knobs were much easier to install as it
only took one hole.
We purchased everything at Lowe’s Home Improvement and
bought some handles and knobs in bulk boxes of 10 or 12 and then singles for
the extras needed. You save money if
there are 18 knobs needed, it is more cost effective to buy one box of 12 and 6
additional, otherwise you are paying for knobs you don’t need. We also purchased drawer handle and door knob
templates.
The only thing missing from this first picture is the vacuum
cleaner!! There will be a lot of wood
shavings in and around everything!
