They sort of look like the inside of a ball point pen,(dowel with a spring) that insert into a door and have spring loaded heads that pop into the flange that is attached to the cabinet. I had a set of cabinets refinished and the painter lost a few hinges making the cabinets sort of useless. (but good for poltergeist, since they fall off randomly.) I see a lot of these cabinets on the net and often they are just going to get tossed during a remodel if they are in poor shape. I doubt if the hinge pins can be in too bad of shape no matter what the condition the cabinets are. A picture of what I am referring to can be viewed here: http://www.thebenefitnetwork.com/hingepin.jpg If the picture is still there, I still need the hinges. If the picture is gone, and you need hinges I may have picked up some spares. I’m looking for the hinge pins that are found in old metal kitchen cabinets.

I was doing research on other wood styles last night and have a few more that I am planning to post. The bottom line: "Modern" melds very well with more traditional styling - especially if you put love into the project! That’s great to hear, Laurie.
