And that is what I did.
Our kitchen was totally gutted and remodeled after Hurricane Charley in 2004.
I was able to get the kitchen that I had wanted due to the original one becoming a moldy mess from no power for a couple of weeks. Oh yes, we did have a generator, but it was an on-off action of power for then and that is what happens, mold in August in Florida, with high temperatures, as well as high humidity! I chose raised white paneled cabinets and Corian countertops and sink, with white handled pulls that to me resembled spoon shapes.
At the time my white appliances were fairly new so I kept them. Since then those appliances went so they were replaced with stainless steel, except the dishwasher
that we never use and was new in 2004, and across from the stainless appliances
in my galley kitchen, the kitchen hadn't had a dishwasher before we installed it.
Amazon had what I was looking for in handles for a bargain price, thirty for $25!
Most home stores had them for 3-10 dollars apiece!
The ones I liked were too expensive until I found them on Amazon since I only needed twenty-seven and the bargain price was 30 for $25!
Shaker doors are what I would prefer in the future, but then again all I would do is Google it for just the doors themselves in the sizes that I would need, but again that is in my dreams...
And perhaps two-tone uppers and lowers...who knows... maybe someday.
Oh, the old white handles from the kitchen I have already decided to repurpose them on the guestroom furniture and my old china closet that we will be eventually whitewashing with paint we already have, so ZERO cost for that project!
And so we must go for now...
I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. And without a second thought, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,...some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd but,...as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though tipping the scales around seventy pounds, HA! A very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.
And please don't forget me, I am Chance a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020.
I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening?
Now my name of Chance is because I was given another chance, could be only the second one or perhaps more... The animal control lady came out to see if I had a chip with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!
Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
