Cabinet Hardware Giveaway!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

 

Happy Friday sweet friends! Did you get a chance to see my kitchen makeover? So many of you left the absolute loveliest comments and I just want to thank you for all of your encouraging and positive feedback. One thing that came out of that blog post was that most of you thought the counters and backsplash look just fine (some of you even thought they were new!) and it was just the reassurance I needed to feel confident in our decision to wait a bit longer before we update them.

As I mentioned in the kitchen reveal blog post, I was so thrilled to partner with D. Lawless Hardware who graciously provided all of my beautiful new cabinet knobs.

They truly are like the jewelry that perfectly completes the whole look.

I selected the Oval Antique English Knob and just love how they look against the white cabinets.

And now, D. Lawless is generously providing me the chance to give away three, count ’em THREE $50 gift certificates to their store!

Prize – Three lucky winners will receive a $50 Gift Certificate to D. Lawless Hardware! 

How to enter to win – Visit D. Lawless Hardware and then leave a comment here telling us which hardware caught your eye and where you would put it in your home. 

I can’t wait to hear what hardware you like! Enjoy your weekend friends and as always, thanks so much for meeting me here at the fence,

*Giveaway ends on Friday March 3 at 12am EST

    Of course the knobs you choose are my favorite. Oval beaded antique knob. It’s probably because you made them look so nice. There were many I liked, including a leaf design and a mushroom shape. The glass ones were so pretty too. Then, I had to keep browsing and I may need to buy a wooden appliqué.
    I meant to say last visit, the kitchen is gorgeous. The counters and backsplash do look fine, great even. In fact, the whole before was great. I could live in the before, but I do prefer the after. It turned out so lovely.

    I am in love with the Bundled Reed Antique bronze knob. First off the look is feminine without being too girly which would help my husband like them too ;-). Also my sons name is Reed so when I saw that was what their name was I was drawn even more to them.

    I would pair them with a soft creamy antique white cabinet.

    I absolutely love the Mercury Glass Knobs!!! I would use them on all the furniture pieces in my master bedroom. I have touches of mercury glass throughout the main rooms in my house so this will help to incorporate it into the master. The design of the knobs coupled with the mercury glass will also help me to create the soft, romantic, vintage vibe I am trying to create in the master.

I see the carry the offset hinge which is what we are looking for.

    D. Lawless Hardware has a great website. I really love the Rustic Antique English Cup Pull – 64mm P18-P2636-AE. I having been hoping to purchase me some cap pulls like this for an antique vanity that I am going to redo, due to wood being damaged, and also for my bedroom suit dresser and 2 nightstands which was purchased in 1968 by my parents. They gave their old set to me years ago and it needs to be refreshed. I think these handles would do the trick. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest.

    First off, thank you and them for this wonderful giveaway. Your kitchen looks so amazing, and it sure is inspiring!

    I can’t believe all they offer over there!!!!

    I have an antique dressesr that I hope to redo once it warms up enough with no threats of rain so I can work comfortably in the garage. All 7 of the knobs needs to be replaced – so I’d have some deciding to do with it and would happily choose any number of knobs and pulls for it.

    Secondly, I’d love to add pulls to my master bathroom cabinets for a more updated custom look – I think the clearance pack of Sterling Nickel Garrett Knob 1-1/4″ would look lovely.

    I’d LOVE to add cup pulls in the kitchen – the oiled bronze or the antique pewter would look gorgeous.

    And lastly, the glass look knobs on my newly done nightstand would be perfect. Been meaning to do that, too.

    : – ) Sorry so long.

    My house is old, as in over 100 years old. Someone did a renovation 20 odd years ago and used very modern cabinet pulls in the Master bath. Every time I walk into the room I shudder. They are so unsuitable for this house, for the space, for my well being!

    Your post made me take a good long look at what I would use to replace what’s there and the Rope Trim Satin Antique Brass Pull would be perfect.

    Now it’s time for me to head to bed and dream about how lovely these new pulls would look in my bathroom.

I've been watching our cherry trees bloom for 12 y I've been watching our cherry trees bloom for 12 years now and every year I ohhhh and ahhhh over the blossoms like it's the first time I've ever seen them. I gush and I take photos (that look exactly like the ones I took the year before and the year before that) and I make my family come outside and look at them with me which you know they just LOVE to do. 😉 I think that is one of the main reasons why I love spring so much. On the one hand, it's predictable and yet, on the other hand, it still feels like such a surprise after the long months of barren branches.

And yesterday, as I was staring at the gorgeous blossoms for the umpteenth time, I couldn't help but think that I hope this is how I feel when our lives return to some semblance of normalcy.

I hope that the predictable feels special and that the typical feels anything but. I hope that I ohhh and ahhh over the simple things I've realized I've taken for granted. And, most of all, I hope that feeling doesn't go away for a very, very long time! 💗
Are you living with great expectation friends? Bec Are you living with great expectation friends? Because He is risen!

Happy Easter from my home to yours!
Lemon bars all ready for tomorrow! It’s going to Lemon bars all ready for tomorrow! It’s going to be a different kind of Easter for sure but some things don’t change. Have you been baking and getting ready for tomorrow? What’s one thing on your menu that you have to have every year?
If this is Good Friday, why doesn’t it feel so “good”? It all seems backward doesn’t it?

What could be good about the unspeakable pain he suffered? What could be good about the shame and betrayal?

Easter Sunday is so joyful, bright and cheery. Shouldn’t that be the day we call “good”? It just feels so much better!

But, I don’t know how to rejoice over His resurrection, unless I have felt the pain of His death. I have realized that in life the sweetest victories are the ones which were realized after a pain-filled journey.

And, so it is with Good Friday. I know there will be victory over death, but I can’t skip ahead in the story.

Jesus knew what was coming. He knew what he would experience. And he knew why he would go through it. He did it for me. He did it for you.

Do you know that? Have you felt it down in the very core of your soul? 
Sometimes it makes me squirm a bit. Why would anyone do that for me?

Well, because, I can’t do it for myself!

There is nothing I can do to earn that kind of love and mercy.

That is why it is called GRACE.

His grace is freely given. We don’t have to pay for it. He paid the price for us already.

Do you remember that movie from years ago called “Ransom”? A couple’s young son was kidnapped and the parents went to hell and back trying to find him and pay the “ransom” demanded by the kidnappers.

Well, Jesus is our “ransom”. (1 Timothy 2:6) His life was the payment.

Why is it called “Good Friday”? Because that wasn’t the end of the story….
.
…It was just the beginning!
Raise your hand if there’s a table in your house Raise your hand if there’s a table in your house that’s become the landing zone for ALL THE THINGS! 🙋🏻‍♀️🤪 I’ve never been more thankful for our rarely used dining room table as it’s become command central for school books and laptops and games.

Where are things collecting in your house right now?
“Sighing, tears, frustration, anger.” Every si “Sighing, tears, frustration, anger.” Every single one of these emotions has made their way through our home in recent days and, my guess is, they have in your home too.

I SO needed this reminder today from the new book ‘Adore’ by @sarahagertywrites.

Adoration isn’t just sitting at His feet gazing longingly with stars in my eyes. It’s bringing my fears and my sorrows and gray roots in my hair that desperately needs to be colored and my messy house and all of the things that threaten to send me over the edge right now and laying them down before Him, soaking up His word and His presence so that when I stand back up, I am changed for having spent the time adoring the ONE who is... Healer, comforter, peace-giver, deliverer, redeemer.

What do you need to bring to Him today? I’ll share mine in the comments and I’d love to hear from you too!
I’ve always loved evenings, but since this whole I’ve always loved evenings, but since this whole lockdown thing began, I’ve come to appreciate this time of day even more.

It feels the most...normal. Daytime is strange and foreign right now. My husband has taken over our home office, I’m suddenly taking over the responsibility of managing my kids’ distance learning and let me just say that teaching 7th grade algebra to my daughter is hugely ironic since I struggled with math all the way through school. I’m trying to do my own work but it feels utterly futile with the constant interruptions which take precedence right now. In the daytime, I’m constantly reminded of how upside down life feels.

But, in the evening, I cook dinner like I’ve always done and we gather around the table like we’ve always done and we laugh and tell stories and then clean up and play games or go on a walk or watch a show. And that feels SO gloriously normal.

So now I love evenings even more than I ever did before and I’m so grateful for this little chunk of time where the rhythms we established years ago are helping to sustain us now when so much of life feels outside of our control.

What feels ‘normal’ to you right now? Whatever it is, keep doing it. 🌿
When I was in college I would frequently call home When I was in college I would frequently call home and pour my heart out to my mom, sharing with her all that was happening in my life in that completely unfiltered way that you can talk with the person who potty trained you. These phone calls usually took place at night and my mom would patiently listen as I vented frustrations about professors, roommates, boyfriends and the food in the cafeteria. And, inevitably, they would end with my mom saying, “Everything seems worse when you’re tired. Try not to overthink things or make any major decisions tonight, especially when you are feeling emotional.” Dear friends, may I pass along this advice to you today?

If you don’t absolutely HAVE to make a decision right now, I want to encourage you to wait until life gets back to normal. If you are finding yourself over-analyzing relationships and family dynamics, I want to encourage you to remember that everything seems more dramatic when looked at under a microscope. And, let’s face it, being homebound with our loved ones non-stop makes us all feel like lab rats in an experiment.

If you are tempted to quit a job, start a business, start homeschooling permanently, stop homeschooling permanently, move to a new city, buy a farm, quit pursuing your dream, join a commune or make any other major life decision just…wait. Because, if it is in fact the right decision, it will be made even clearer once our lives return to their ‘regularly scheduled programming’. Instead, in this strange season, let’s all just take a deep, collective breath and let it out slowly, releasing the anxiety that threatens to overtake us. Let’s help each other maintain some perspective and not slip into a posture of over-thinking every little thing in our lives. Let’s remember that the enemy of our souls would love nothing more than to use this time when things feel dark to manipulate us into thinking that aspects of our lives are worse than they actually are.

My prayer for you in these days is that you will have the clarity to know what is true and that you will be filled with peace even while we live in this season of so many unknowns.
Raise your hand if you’re doing more baking thes Raise your hand if you’re doing more baking these days! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m trying to avoid gaining the #corona15 but my daughter and I LOVE baking together and it does help to pass the time plus it counts as a science lesson right?

If you’re able to find flour in the stores (for the love people please stop overbuying!) and you’re doing more baking at your house too you need to add this apricot bread to your list of new recipes to try!

Normally I’d point you to my blog for the directions but I’m going to do you a solid and leave the full recipe in the comments.

What have you baked so far during this time of social distancing? I’d love some new ideas!
There are a LOT of people out walking in our neigh There are a LOT of people out walking in our neighborhood right now (but still social distancing!) and she decided that she wanted to bring them some joy and put a smile on their face when they pass by our house. Also, the square with ‘say no to coronavirus’ is priceless. 😂 I just love her so much!
