			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>&#8220;Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.&#8221; <em>-Mary Lou Cook</em></p></blockquote>
<p>So many of our customers are looking for ways to improve their homes and save money at the same time. To make the investment in your kitchen cost-effective, you can replace the hardware that&#8217;s currently on your cabinets at a fraction of the price it costs to rip apart your entire kitchen and replace all of those doors, frames, and shelves. Your kitchen can look new and intriguing even if you don&#8217;t have the time or the funds to completely remodel that entire room. Here are five tips to help make your decision a little easier:</p>
<div id="attachment_228" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cp-4-oa.jpg" rel="lightbox[227]"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-228" title="cp-4-oa" src="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cp-4-oa-150x150.jpg" alt="Old antique hardware is great for country-style homes." width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Old antique hardware is great for country-style homes.</p></div>
<p><strong>1. Match your hardware to the decor of your home.</strong> Do you have a country-style home or another traditional style? Consider some of the hardware from our signature line; our <a title="Cliffside's Top 10 List" href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/index.php/hardware/cliffsides-top-ten-list" target="_blank">top ten selling items</a> are good examples to start with. Do you have a contemporary kitchen or bathroom? Consider some contemporary <a title="Polished chrome hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_1=PC&amp;navby=category_1" target="_blank">polished chrome</a> or <a title="Stainless steel hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=STAINLESS&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">stainless steel</a> hardware!</p>
<p><strong>2. Change the color of your cabinet hardware</strong> to look best with your appliances and fixtures. Is that old polished chrome stove out of place and lonely in your kitchen? Consider one of the new polished chrome <a title="Appliance pulls from Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?pl=REFR&amp;ampnavby=pl" target="_blank">appliance pulls</a> coming to our line in early 2009, or some <a title="T366 series stainless steel bar pulls" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=T366-192-BNA" target="_blank">stainless steel bar pulls</a> to bring a little pop to that stainless steel sink.</p>
<div id="attachment_229" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/k4235-ss.jpg" rel="lightbox[227]"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-229" title="k4235-ss" src="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/k4235-ss-150x150.jpg" alt="A brushed finish may be better than polished for the bathroom environment." width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A brushed finish may be better than polished for the bathroom environment.</p></div>
<p><strong>3. Change the finish of your cabinet hardware.</strong> Some of those colors may have become faded or dulled over the years from so much use. Bathroom hardware can become especially dull to the constant exposure to heat, steam, and cleaning products (which <a title="Cliffside Industries' Product Warranty" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product_warranty.asp" target="_blank">we DON&#8217;T recommend</a>). Consider updating your bathroom to a <a title="Silver satin hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_1=SS&amp;navby=category_1" target="_blank">brushed finish</a> or something using <a title="Acrylic hardware from Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=ACRYLIC&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">acrylic</a>, <a title="Glass hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=GLASS&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">glass</a>, or <a title="Crystal hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=CRYSTAL&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">crystal</a> which can stand up to that demanding environment.</p>
<p><strong>4. Change the style of hardware</strong> that you use on your cabinets. Perhaps you just moved into a new home that expands your living space with your expanding family. With small fingers around, maybe you should consider the safety of a <a title="Featured Product Line: Latches" href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/index.php/hardware/featured-product-line-latches" target="_blank">secure latch</a> on cabinet doors. If you&#8217;d rather have something just to grab onto, consider a high-quality solid brass <a title="Pulls by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?pl=PULL&amp;ampnavby=pl" target="_blank">pull</a>, or a <a title="Knobs by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?pl=KNOB&amp;ampnavby=pl" target="_blank">knob</a> for that decorative accent.</p>
<div id="attachment_230" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/br211-bn.jpg" rel="lightbox[227]"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-230" title="br211-bn" src="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/br211-bn-150x150.jpg" alt="This is the only kind of bug you want to see in YOUR kitchen!" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is the only kind of bug you want to see in YOUR kitchen!</p></div>
<p><strong>5. Change the material of the hardware</strong> on your cabinets. Prefer a bit more rustic look? Our <a title="Stone hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=STONE&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">stone</a> and <a title="Marble hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=MARBLE&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">marble</a> hardware lines provide an outdoor feeling and natural material, bringing the countryside right inside (except for those pesky bugs!). These are great for outdoor kitchens or patios: natural materials are less susceptible to environmental conditions than other hardware. If you&#8217;ve been suffering with cheap hardware that&#8217;s not up to snuff, consider <a title="What's the difference between solid brass and die cast?" href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/index.php/materials/whats-the-difference-between-solid-brass-and-die-cast" target="_blank">upgrading</a> to <a title="Solid brass hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=SOLIDBRASS&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">solid brass</a> or stainless steel.</p>
<p>So go out there and make some new design choices. Bring a little fun into your kitchen, break some rules, and above all, have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp">This week, the <a title="Quality cabinet hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com" target="_blank">Cliffside</a> blog focuses on one of our more popular hardware lines: our latches. We offer two styles of latches to suit any designers&#8217; style.</div>
<div id="attachment_201" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ibcl-ab.jpg" rel="lightbox[199]"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-201" title="ibcl-ab" src="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ibcl-ab-150x150.jpg" alt="Ice box cupboard latch available soon in antique brass!" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ice box cupboard latch available soon in antique brass!</p></div>
<p>The <strong><a title="See the Ice Box Cupboard Latches!" href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ibcl-flyer-web.pdf" target="_blank">Ice Box Cupboard Latch</a></strong>, or IBCL, is a recent addition to our product line, and is offered in seven vibrant finishes. These pieces are relatively unique throughout the kitchen and bath industry, and are often hard to find or require a long lead time. Cliffside, however, has these items in stock and ready to ship as part of our signature hardware line. The available finishes currently include <a title="IBCL in Silver Satin" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-SS" target="_blank">silver satin</a>, <a title="IBCL in Polished Nickel" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-PN" target="_blank">polished nickel</a>, <a title="IBCL in Old Antique" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-OA" target="_blank">old antique</a>, <a title="IBCL in Polished Chrome" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-PC" target="_blank">polished chrome</a>, <a title="IBCL in Polished Brass" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-PB" target="_blank">polished brass</a>, <a title="IBCL in Black" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-FB" target="_blank">flat black</a>, and <a title="IBCL in Old Copper" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=IBCL-OC" target="_blank">old copper</a>, with three new finishes to come with our new product lines arriving in early 2009.</p>
<p>With six holes aligned along the sides of the cast-brass surface, the Ice Box Latch is easy to install, is practical to use, and Cliffside offers the lowest prices in the hardware industry on products of this type! The design of the latch is inspired by the traditional ice box door handle and is secured to the door frame by a simple <a title="Solid brass hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_3=SOLIDBRASS&amp;navby=category_3" target="_blank">solid brass</a> catch with a matching finish. Each latch also comes with matching screws. The thumb pull has an exceptionally smooth mechanism aided by a high-quality spring hidden inside the cast frame. This is a distinctively unique piece of hardware that adds a professional look to any door.</p>

<p>The <strong><a title="See the Solid Brass Cupboard Latches!" href="http://blog.cliffsideind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sbcl-flyer-web.pdf" target="_blank">Solid Brass Cupboard Latch</a></strong>, or SBCL, has been part of the Cliffside line for several years, but is nearly as popular as the new IBCL. This turn-style latch is sleek and stylish with a rounded knob and solid construction. It is currently available in five finishes, including <a title="SBCL in Polished Chrome" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=SBCL-PC" target="_blank">polished chrome</a>, <a title="SBCL in Black" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=SBCL-FB" target="_blank">flat black</a>, <a title="SBCL in Polished Brass" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=SBCL-PB" target="_blank">polished brass</a>, <a title="SBCL in Old Antique" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=SBCL-OA" target="_blank">old antique</a>, and <a title="SBCL in Silver Satin" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/product.asp?CurPage=1&amp;=&amp;navby=&amp;pf_id=SBCL-SS" target="_blank">silver satin</a>. Five more finishes are coming soon, including Venetian bronze, <a title="Old copper hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_1=OC&amp;navby=category_1" target="_blank">old copper</a>, <a title="Iron hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_1=IRON%20&amp;navby=category_1" target="_blank">iron</a>, <a title="Antique brass hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_1=IRON%20&amp;navby=category_1" target="_blank">antique brass</a>, and <a title="Polished nickel hardware by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?category_1=PN&amp;navby=category_1" target="_blank">polished nickel</a>.</p>
<p>Though this particular style of latch is much more common in the hardware industry than the ice box latch, Cliffside&#8217;s solid brass latch is priced competitively within the industry, offered at more than 30% off the comparable items sold by our competitors. This traditional-style latch is also an excellent way to keep your doors secured. Whereas a standard <a title="Knobs by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?pl=KNOB&amp;ampnavby=pl" target="_blank">knob</a> or <a title="Pulls by Cliffside Industries" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/depts.asp?pl=PULL&amp;ampnavby=pl" target="_blank">pull</a> is only used to open a door, latches keep your doors closed tightly, your belongings away from prying eyes.</p>

<p>The IBCL is 1⅞&#8221; by 1½&#8221;, while the SBCL is 2&#8243; by 1⅞&#8221;. Both are made from cast solid brass and are warrantied by the same policy that covers all Cliffside hardware (<a title="Cliffside Industries' Frequently Asked Questions" href="http://www.cliffsideind.com/cliffside/faq.asp" target="_blank">see our FAQ</a> for more details). If you have any questions or are interested in ordering either of these pieces, please <a title="Contact Cliffside Industries" href="mailto:info@cliffsideind.com" target="_blank">contact customer service</a>!</p>
