100% yes if your garage is on a separate floor from your kitchen, with groceries that gets really old really quick but besides that you have to think how often you will be going straight from the first floor to the third.

I love this idea I've been looking for pulls to replace the ones on my desk and these hit just the right note. I've got tons of leather samples laying around and never thought of this. I don't understand the concern though of using them in the kitchen, I cook all the time and yes my hand get dirty but I rinse them before I go to open anything. Honestly how often do you have to clean your kitchen cabinet hardware? If it's often then you might just want to look at you own habits, with some leather conditioner and the water protecter for shoes you'd have to work hard to mess these up.

Of all the posts that I have read during the two years of checking AT almost compulsively this is the first article that made me get a username so that I could comment. In all honesty there is no way to get an inexpensive drum shade, if you think you have found one just pull out the tape measure and I can assure you the top is narrower then the bottom. This just ensures a safer transit for the shade because when the two sides of the shade are completely parallel the shade is dented and damaged much more readily durning shipping. But this is not to say that it never happens. My only concern with the dig is what happens if the bottom doesn't hang perfectly cylindrical? I feel like the must be some sort of metal circles out there just to anchor it or even a wooden quilting circle? Ha just going from one end to the other. Please left me know if you have any real solutions.
