Before Erik moved into the house, the seller put new cabinets in ... which is awesome! But ... that leaves the cabinets looking like this:
My fingernails have certainly taken a beating trying to claw open the cabinets. But truthfully, the drawers are worse. They're difficult to paw open.
Anyhow, I got an awesome little corner to help make sure each nob is in the same place. Don't you think it did an awesome job?
But ... we didn't count doors or drawers before we went to the store (we weren't planning to make a purchase, but the price was right). Anyhow, we were short one for the upper cabinets ... and had to make a trip yesterday for the lower ones.
Oh, speaking of purchasing nobs, we went to the local hardware/home improvement store to check out prices, but an on an off chance, I'd seen some nobs at Target ... and they were priced so competitively ... well, you think about it. $3.50+ for a nob or 10 for $15-20 ... the decision wasn't hard.
So ... lesson learned ... if you need nobs for your kitchen (or even bathroom), check out the "Home Improvement" section at Target. :-)

Karen, I love you! I'm pretty sure "nob" should have a little "k" in front of it. ;) And I think it's adorable that you went and got them.... my parents built their house 14 years ago and STILL do not have knobs on their kitchen cabinets and drawers! :) Go you!
And ps... I spent like 3 days looking at all of your GORGEOUS wedding pictures! You're so beautiful!
Thanks for reminding me of ONE MORE THING on my list of things to do at the house before the baby comes.
And for giving Angie another reason to go to Target, as if she really needs a reason.
Geez ...
'Manda ... I *thought* I was spelling it wrong, but spell check decided "nobs" was OK. On your parents' house, if each of you kids spent $20 for Christmas, you could probably get nobs (or knobs) and drawer handles on their entire kitchen.
Mike ... but you now have a gift card to get items (like knobs) at Target! :-) I'll even bring my corner measuring device this weekend during pix ... I'll measure and mark them for ya! ;-)
I can not be intimidated into work!!!!
But, ... your cabinets really look nice.
God Bless
Dad
Well whoda thunk it could be spelled two different ways? Ya learn something new every day. :)
When are ya gonna finish tackling that piano part of the 101 list? :)
*sigh* Amanda ... how do you do it all? And I don't even have KIDS yet!!!!!!
I'm "working on the piano" ... but truth be told I just need to get to Jan.1 ... maybe that will be my new year's resolution. I want to learn to play the piano part for "Let it Be" ... I'm currently obsessed w/ that song. :-)
