Here's a tip (that you may or may not know) that might help with the handles on the cabinets...make a template for each drawer and door so you get the holes even. If you don't you have to measure or eyeball each one and they're never straight. If you make one out of cardboard the hole tends to get lost after a few so use a thin piece of plastic or something sturdy that will hold up better.
