The Third Thursday of November...
...is traditionally the day for installing drawer pulls. It dates back to Roman times, when the emperor would grant a selection of tasteful cabinet hardware to a victorious gladiator. The eleventh month of the year was known as Knobvember for centuries before it gradually morphed into what we call it today.

Where did you buy your cabinets? And that's a bit of an office-cabinet look to the pulls, but why not? Me, I'd be getting bread dough and guck on the undersides. And are you putting the same countertops back on, or did you get new? Am I full of enough questions??
The cabinets are American Woodmark, from Home Depot. The hardware is from coolknobsandpulls.com (look at Lindz's blog to see the crystal ball ones). The countertops will be DuPont Simplicity (that ended up winning over granite and soapstone in our deliberations). The old wall cabinets are going into the pantry.
