Knobs!

Yep, that exclamation mark in the title is intentional.

I'm excited!

I just got home with some pretty new drawer knobs that I wanted to show you, but that's not the best part. I'll tell you the best part in a minute.

First, let me reacquaint you with the buffet in my dining room. It's going to be my model today.

Here are the buffet's existing knobs.
Nice.
Fine.
Blah.
Just a hammered rubbed bronze finish that kind of blends into the wood.

And here it is with some of my pretty new knobs from Hobby Lobby. Cute, huh?









I got these lovelies when I was in Salt Lake a few weeks ago and my sister-in-law took me to Anthropologie. I'd never been before- can you believe that?! I can. That place is expensive! So I picked up these two little knobs intending to either buy more when I got home or find some other ones that would go well with them.

I really do love them, but I DO NOT LOVE their price. Eeeshck! I knew I'd need 6 for the project I'm going to do, so two was all I could splurge on. Thank goodness I waited!

Because here's the Hobby Lobby price tag. And here's the best part I mentioned- all of their pulls and knobs are 50% off right now!

When the gal rung me up and my handful of knobs came to less than $10, I almost ran back for more. In fact, I think I will be going back. The sale is good through Saturday, and I'm loving the look of my buffet with different pulls on it, so I think I may need to go find it some permanent new ones.

But until then, it's going to hold onto these for me. Now I have to show you their final destination.

You see that dresser? That poor, pretty white one underneath a pile of tables and being crowded on all sides by chairs and other pieces of furniture. That dresser?

It's going to get a HUGE makeover soon.
Here's the plan:
I'm going to paint it THE BLUE, then heavily distress it so that a lot of the existing cream paint and bare wood shows through, then it'll get a good glazing with some dark brown and then all those eclectic knobs will finish her off.

What do you think? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Don't care? I want it in my dining room, probably where the buffet is now so that it'll be a focal point.

One more exciting purchase for today. I bought this in hopes of avoiding death by Rustoleum.

I should have picked up one of these a long time ago.
