After nearly a year, the fish have been laid to rest and replaced by some simple matte black knobs. I don't have any photos because George practically ran in to change them out as soon as the new hardware arrived.
In the kitchen, we were limited in types of pulls because of the location of holes from the previous ones. Because of that and my satisfaction with the general style, the new ones are not so different. But, with the busy patterns of both the wood grain and counter tops, I'm much happier with the simpler matte black hardware. It really makes such a difference...at least when you have to stare at it day after day.
I really can't believe that it took us a year to get to this project. It wasn't terribly expensive, and it only took George two nap times to get them all changed out (and at least two trips to the hardware store for the right length of screw, but that's a post all its own). Lots of credit to my husband for executing my plan.
So, what minor changes have you made to your home that have major impact?

Greg is in the process of changing out the hardware in our kitchen this week. It really does make such a difference! I love your new handles and knobs.
And I changed mine last year too. When I saw that the old handle marks were a tiny bit larger, I put the "face plate"behind them. Love them. A little change can be big!
