So, I have been wanting to get new kitchen knobs for a while--to start updating it. I know it will be a while before we do the counters and backsplash, so I wanted to do a little something. Instead of buying like 35 knobs (yeah-our kitchen has way too many!) I decided to try painting them...here was my tester:

So, I repainted all of them. I used a "hammered finish" spray paint, and I am really pleased with the look!

Now I just need to figure out what I want to do about the green tile backsplash. Any suggstions?

Next project to do...

I am going to do a little sewing/crafting this holiday weekend, since I have a bit of time. I saw these cute candle/trinket holders at anthropologie the other weekend:

I think they should be pretty easy to make. Although, I am not sure where to put them! I am thinking of doing something similar to put on the backyard deck...I want to spruce it up a bit....now I am on the lookout for little glass jars/votive holders.

Brandon's newest hobby/pastime is fishing and hunting. If anyone ever wants a hunting partner, please call Brandon!!

Here are a few recent pics of his catches.

Brandon shot a dove. He dressed it (is that the proper terminology?!) and grilled the breast meat, wrapped in bacon. It was actually really tasty! Granted, one dove offered enough meat for 2 little appitizer sized bites. However, I am pleased to know that I actually liked it! Plus, I know Brandon enjoys eating what he has caught/hunted.

So I realized I never posted the finished bedding/paint job in my craft room...so here it is!
