Sometime between 1970 and 1990, homeowners decided to renovate (AKA ruin) kitchens and bathrooms in old, historic homes.
I would give a large sum of money (that I don't actually have) to see what my kitchen looked like before 1979 and even more money to see the original kitchen circa 1923.

My kitchen is totally fine—that's how I would describe it. And it feels extremely cozy—like a kitchen you would want to make a Thanksgiving dinner in.
The kitchen felt so much better once I moved into my house and added my decor and beloved knickknacks. In other words, I'm in no rush to renovate it and bring it back to its original era.
However, I decided to switch out the kitchen cabinet hardware. This is the easiest and quickest way to give kitchen cabinets (of any kind) a makeover.
I would have the energy and motivation to paint the cabinets white in a perfect world, but this will do for now.
I opted for crystal knobs because I love the timeless look of original door knobs in historic homes.
My first thought before swapping out the hardware was, " Do people use this type of hardware on kitchen cabinets? "These look like something you would use on a dresser." My next thought was, "Who cares? "

These crystal kitchen cabinet knobs are incredibly versatile and can be used on just about anything (bathroom cabinets, office drawers, and dressers to make a few.) I give them a big ole 10/10.
And as part of my frequent cleaning routine, you better believe I sparkle them up with my glass cleaner on the regular. Virgo's brains are fascinating.

HI! Random question, please: Could you maybe someday do a post about your "frequent cleaning routine"? I am TERRIBLE at keeping my house clean and so curious how other people do it! Thanks in advance!
Love the hardware, looks fantastic!
They look great! I can only imagine how cool that kitchen was before 79!
