Adventures in Remuddling

When you have two baths and one kitchen to renovate, life becomes overwhelming. That’s when you need a quick win. At least I did last month. For example, the previous owners had a penchant for a country/gold/brass decor, which Tig and I do not share. For example, the butler pantry cabinets in our unit have brass knobs; the linen closet had porcelain pulls with flowers on them.

Luckily, I found these in a drawer when we first moved in.

Last month, my friend Jona and I spent some time scrubbing these clean.

A few minutes with a screwdriver, switching out pulls in the butler pantry.

Now when I use the butler’s pantry and linen closet, I can see the light shining through the glass knobs. Then I’m so glad we made this one little change. It makes all the difference.
