D found some more-attractive hinges at Lowe’s that fit our home-made cabinets perfectly. We got them in a darker finish than this to somewhat match the pretty new knobs and bin pulls from Rejuvenation. We would’ve preferred the totally invisible hinges – the kind that go inside the doors – but those wouldn’t work for [...]

Now I understand why everyone makes such a big deal about NYC. The cultural diversity, the people everywhere, the traffic, the food, the architecture, the shopping – wow. Just wow. I love it. I’m already planning my next trip … maybe a week next year with D. He’s pouting because I had so much fun [...]
