surprising source of inspiration: good housekeeping!
When my mother-in-law got me a subscription to Good Housekeeping, I confess I was dubious, maybe even a little insulted. So imagine my surprise when I actually started to notice that the magazine has some great ideas. Case in point, this recent gem on using outdoor faucet handles as cabinet pulls. It so happens that I purchased a lot of faucet handles (Who knew they were called “hose-cock handles!”) on eBay months ago, figuring I’d do something with them eventually. Now I have an idea where they’ll end up when we finally buy that house. Good Housekeeping, I have amended my snobbish ways. — Mary T.

I’m a total magazine junky, and some times I run out of things to flip through. It’s good to know that there’s something else I can pick up. And I love this idea for repurposing hardware.

What a great idea! Good Housekeeping has changed a lot over the last year, and I’m surprised at some of the things in there too.
I just love this idea of using outdoor faucet handles for cabinet pulls. Love that out of the box thinking. Thanks for sharing!
