New Hair and New Hardware





So, I did get my hair chopped when I was home for Easter. Mom went "out of the box" and gave me a totally new style. I like it a lot (though she says she will never cut my hair again because I'm a bad customer - also, I don't pay) .
Many of you know that when we bought our new house, though it had all of the space we needed (more than we needed!) it didn't have all of the aesthetics that I was looking for. This weekend I changed the door hardware. So far all of the handles are done and went from old school brass, to nice new Iron black levers. It's a lot of work and so far I've done 22 doors. I have a few more to do and then the hinges which will take forever. I've only done 2 complete doors with hinges and levers so far, but it's a good project for me to work on the next few weeks.

i love them both!! we need to re-do all of our brass too. what made you choose black over brushed nickel or that kind of look?

We did brushed nickel at the old house so I wanted something different and I was going to do oil rubbed bronze b/c I think it's all the rage but a lot of the new construction in our neighborhood has the iron black and I really liked it. So that's what we went with and I love it! If you are going to do it talk to me b/c I know where to get the best deals ever on door hardware!
