Photo Day 219: Can you handle it! (5.7.11)

Photo Day 219:  Can you handle it! (5.7.11)
I decided that I should not live a minute longer with a mismatched handle on one of our kitchen cabinets. I mean…really folks…who decides the best replacement option for a missing handle is to put large metal flower knobs in its place (which look like creepy eyeballs)?

Well 2 years of flower eyeballs is 2 years too many.  So I measured the handle spacing and took a quick trip to the orange box.  Now I thought my biggest issue might be matching the scrolly design.  O silly me.  The scrolly design was there AND they had 2 color options AND one was an exact match to our cabinet handles.  Score!  But wait!  There's always a BUT.  It's only 3 inches and I need 3.5 inches.  In fact...most of the "stock handles" are now only 3 inches.  Ughhhhh!

I was able to refrain from throwing a temper tantrum, however, I may have shared a few !#@%* words with the handles.  But there were no witnesses so that's just between me and those handles.
