One week later: I no longer hate DIY projects, some of this was fun, but overall it was a pain in the neck. However, I would do something like this over buying something new any day of the week, no question. Without the new handles, the project cost less than $50, with the handles it was about $150. It's been a long week. Heather still has my drill, the handles are still pulling in and out loosely, and my stuff is still all over my bedroom. Should I keep the old handles as they are? Should I spray paint them silver? Should I try to make the glass ones work? Do your D.I.Y. projects usually go smoothly or do you stink at it as much as I do? What kind of projects are you working on right now?
