I searched high and low this weekend (online) to find polished nickel overlay hinges. Sadly, I couldn't find anything. I couldn't even find hinges that cost gazillion dollars, not that I would pay that. So, I settled on satin nickel hinges in hopes that it will match. We went to Home Depot on Saturday (of course) and I looked at how much HD's hinges cost. I was happy to find out that they pretty much cost the same as online at all the discount places so I picked up (3) 10 packs of the Liberty Self Closing Overlay Hinge.
Once we were home I could't wait to to get those suckers installed. Unfortunately, the existing holes didn't line up exactly with the new hinges. Womp womp. The exterior side lined up (thank goodness) but I had to redrill new holes on the inside of the cabinet door.

Lets just say it wasn't all 'fun'. I had my fair share of breakdowns when the cabinet doors were not level once installed. It took lots of patience and a fair share of foot stomping to get me through those minutes (or hour?). Luckily Grouper was only witness to the breakdowns.
