Cabinet pulls

I have been looking at cabinet pulls for the new kitchen.  I have three options, all are very different styles, but will be in brushed nickel.

Amazon
Ikea
Pulls Direct

I like all of them equally, and there is not a drastic price difference to favor any one over the other.  I have a couple months to figure out which style I like the most.
Which one for you like the most; top, middle, or bottom?

PS. Pinning and Pining will be back next month!

Testing a Kitchen Floorplan

A couple of weeks ago, I put some painter's tape down where I thought cabinets would be.  I also put tape up on the walls to get an idea of the opening that I want. 


It looks like the island is small, but I know once its installed, I will think that it's a big island.  I'm am so excited to get rid of this ugly tile!

Frankie likes being in the kitchen if someone is in there too.  Notice how he looks away from the camera.  Silly kitty!

PS. It seems as though some people use these weekly posts to ensure I am alive.  So the plan is to post every Sunday, even if it's a couple words, or an old picture, so these people (who shall remain nameless) can sleep at night.  :)

New Packers Print

I found a cool old print (seller claimed it was from the 60s) on Etsy.  It was in great condition, with no folds, tears, creases, or even rounded corners.  It didn't even smell old.  We believe it might be a reprint of the original, but it still pretty awesome anyway.  The print plus shipping was about $30.  I found the frame at Target for $20.  Not bad for $50!

We love Etsy to find old and awesome football items.  Nick visits Etsy often, and has even talked other men into checking out Etsy for sports items. 

Go Packers!
