Kitchen Cabinets

Our kitchen cabinets are probably one of our least favorite things about our house. The only thing we like about them is that they are spacious and they were custom made, meaning we do have some unique storage options. (i.e. all the upper cabinets connect in the inside)

Otherwise the varnish is terrible, it's got a yellow hue to it and they are finished in a REALLY high gloss and thick lacquer. The cabinets had these 1980's looking handles on them that had clearly never been cleaned since the house was built 23 years ago. I'm sure back in the day they were "hip" and "modern" but now they're just ugly.

There's about 30+ handles in the kitchen that we wanted to replace. After some shopping around we found some inexpensive and simple silver handles that had a more modern appearance.

But now, I'm stuck with 30 ugly cabinet handles that nobody (not even Craig's list) will take for free...perhaps I'll just donate them...
