Easy Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Idea

Sometime between 1970 and 1990, homeowners decided to renovate (AKA ruin) kitchens and bathrooms in old, historic homes.
I would give a large sum of money (that I don't actually have) to see what my kitchen looked like before 1979, and even more money to see the original kitchen circa 1923!
My kitchen is totally fine—that's how I would describe it. And it feels extremely cozy, like a kitchen you would want to make a Thanksgiving dinner in.
However, I recently switched out the kitchen cabinet hardware, and it was truly the easiest (and quickest) way to give the cabinets a makeover!

I opted for crystal knobs because I love the timeless look of original door knobs in historic homes.
My first thought before swapping out the hardware was, " Do people use this type of hardware on kitchen cabinets? "These look like something you would use on a dresser." My next thought was, "Who cares? "

These crystal kitchen cabinet knobs are incredibly versatile and can be used on just about anything (bathroom cabinets, office drawers, and dressers to make a few.) I give them a big ole 10/10.
And as part of my frequent cleaning routine, you better believe I sparkle them up with my glass cleaner on the regular. Virgo brains are fascinating.

HI! Random question, please: Could you maybe someday do a post about your "frequent cleaning routine"? I am TERRIBLE at keeping my house clean and so curious how other people do it! Thanks in advance!
Love the hardware, looks fantastic!
They look great! I can only imagine how cool that kitchen was before 79!
