My friend over at Ranch Handy posted about this Kitchen (not hers) quite some time ago, but I’m not sure she ever found these handles…aren’t they cool?

I also LOVE the knotty pine cabinet doors. We had a ton of this in our old house – knotty pine built ins and we loved it. Even when we ripped out a wall with closets between two very small rooms, we carefully saved all the lumber.

The new owners were upset when they bought the house and there was all this “trash” – the carefully saved wood and some extra siding (which had been discontinued). Aren’t people funny?

So, does anyone have a resource for the handles?
