    Update Your Kitchen with Elbow Grease

    We are in the process of updating our kitchen.  We have new light fixtures – I particularly love the one over the arm of the L-shaped counter which was a spot that was always dark.  I don’t plan to buy new cabinets, but they could definitely be spruced up.

    Instead, I’m going to use some good old-fashioned elbow grease to scrub them down.  Then I will rub in the wood restoration to make the cabinets pop again.  For example, Liquid Gold or Murphy’s OIl will finish any cleaning, but also make them look new again.

    I’d like to buy some newer brushed nickel handles and knobs as well to really make the kitchen look new.  Eventually new counter-tops are in my future.
