          The cabinet pull shine with the reflection of the sun.  The glimmer captivated me as I imagined the first time I saw it.  It was all I had been thinking about before this moment, but know it was gone, and empty thought filled my brain with the image of my Kitchen.

My Kitchen had been nice but I could not quite figure out what was missing.  It just wasn’t quite right.  The feeling, the look, the utility, it was all wrong.  That is when I decided that I would work on the most easy thing first, the utility.  With my arthritis I needed something that was easy to grip, so I went shopping.  I knew right away that it was the right set.  After I installed it it obvious that it was not only the thing that would fix the problem of utility, it was the right thing to fix the look and feel as well.  Now I have the kitchen that I always wanted, and for half the price.

so that no one can get into my room.

try as they might

they cannot break into my room.

The sturdy metal bolt is locked secure.

with the strength of steel and all it’s might.

One of those Cloudy full moon nights as I rode the old White mare into town.  The saloon looked full and I was a bit on the thirsty side, the heat had dried me to the bones.  I went straight to the bar and ordered a Shot of Whiskey and had my canteen filled.  Sure does taste good as I took the shot and drained the water down.

There was an older well dressed fella in a long blue overcoat at the other end of the bar staring straight at me with hate written all over his face.  He was one mean lookin cowboy and I had no intention in startin a brawl. He was wearing a very fancy six shooter on his belt, you might say a showy piece of decorative hardware with a bullet in it waiting to send me hell at any given moment.  What is this guys problem I thought to myself…………..and then I woke up from a heavy sleep still shaking from a bad dream.  All I could think about was that hardware.  It was the decorations that had made that cowboy, not the man hiding behind them.

One of the most common things over looked in in a home are doors. It is not uncommon for a family to go decades with out improving their doors.  If your home is starting to look dull, try changing the hardware on your interior and exterior doors.  Buying new door hardware is much cheper than buying new doors, and it will give your doors a noticable facelift.  Try buying new: door knobs, levers, kick plates, strap hinges, and locks for your old doors.

Restoration hardware is any type of hardware that is used to make your house look elegant.  Restoration hardware can be used in several ways to update the style of your home.  Any type of hardware can be used for restoration purposes.

One example of using hardware for restoration purposes is door hardware.  A beautiful new hand crafted set of door knobs will add a look of elegance to your home. A second example of using hardware for restoration purposes is bathroom hardware.  By replacing all your bathroom hardware with stylish updated hardware you can add a new feel to your bathroom.  A third example of how you can use hardware for restoration purposes in your home is to replace old kitchen hardware with new hardware.  You could easily give your kitchen a new feel by adding new kitchen cabinet hardware, or by just getting a new paper towel holder.

A great way to add new life to your home is to purchase new bathroom accessories.  Sadly, too often people neglect their bathrooms to the point where their bathroom is a decorating nightmare.  For example, I went over to a friends house the other day and saw that they had bright pink curtains and Cinderella cabinet pulls and knobs.  This would be alright if they had small children, but their youngest child graduated college last year. 

New bathroom accessories that can add life to a bathroom include:  switch plate covers, cabinet knobs, cabinet pulls, towel rings, toilet paper holders, and door bells.  The bathroom accessories that you choose will dictate the style that your bathroom possesses.  For instance if you choose mountain hardware for your bathroom, than it will have a rustic style.  One important thing to remember is that that all your bathroom accessories should have a common style theme.  For example, a modern door bell should match a modern toilet paper holder.

The most important thing to remember is to have fun decorating your bathroom.

You know those decorative hardware pieces that attach to the front of your door and look like old fashioned hinges?  What exactly are those things called?  It can be confusing for shoppers.  How do you know what to search for and find exactly what you need.

A Hinge Strap Is a fake decorative front. It is not actually a functioning hinge. It is like an old pioneer false front building.  It is to add character to the existing fixture.  After all you would not want the door hinge exposed, for security purposes.  A Strap hinge on the other hand is a hinge that is fixed to the face of the door instead of the side.  The strap hinge is most commonly used on barns and gates.
