Catie Cook... I thought if you and the beautiful lives you inspire! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Today I painted a new residents nails at work and as we were going over colors, she mentioned she wanted clear. The only thought that came to my mind was "CLEAR?! That's no fun." I asked her why she wanted clear and she said, "My hands are ugly, I don't want to draw attention to them." I then carefully responded with, "Your hands tell the story of your life. They tell the story of love, of care and adventure. These hands have touched and held things that most people can only wish to one day." And with that, she went with the color pink for her nails. Sometimes what we are so insecure with, others find beauty in. 💖

If cabinets are the star of a kitchen, hardware is the unsung hero. Those little drawer pulls and cabinet k***s do a lot of heavy lifting—both practically and aesthetically.

If you're looking to freshen up your kitchen without overhauling the cabinetry, start with an overhaul of the hardware.
