Normally I am not a fan of painting your cabinet handles. I just feel like the oils in your hands will eventually wear the paint off of your handles. Especially on the cabinets where you keep your chocolate stash and Doritos bags. Wait, it’s just me? Anyway, painted handles normally scare me.
So I kind of went against my own rules when I decided to buy these cabinet handles at Hobby Lobby recently.
I was looking for a long skinny handle for our pantry doors and these were perfect, but the blue was the wrong color.
But I brought them home anyway and did a 30 second paint job on them and we are just going with it. Maybe it will keep me out of the chocolate stash. If the paint eventually wears down, it’s at least just on 2 handles and not the entire kitchen, so I’m not worried…. I’ll just redo them.
And aren’t they beautiful when painted? I’m in love.
In typical #hotmess style, I did a video showing you how I painted them. You can watch it by going clicking HERE or click below. I ask in advance for forgiveness for my singing voice at the end of the video. Ewwwww. This is why I paint and don’t sing.
