HOT Hardware Gives Old Furniture NEW Life

This is just a reminder of a quick and inexpensive way to remake a piece of furniture you already own!  

New Knobs and Pulls Make A HUGE Difference!


What a transformation!  


For my fab client Sonya's entry way we kept her foyer table but ditched the generic silver knob for a pull that rocks!


This leather, brass and bone pull is from Anthropologie....and it rocks!!!

We simply unscrewed the knobs, and then screwed the new ones on!  EASY!


If you are interested in trying this, it is important to remember the difference between knobs and pulls.  Knobs are easy to change out because they typically have one fastener, or screw.

If you are looking to replace a pull, you will need to measure the distance between the two fasteners, or screws.  Handles come in varying widths so make note of this tip!!


I apologize for the poor quality of the photos but I have not finished the room yet.  When I do I will have quality pictures to share!

Finished Staging Zionsville Mall Space!


Just put the finishing touches on the Zionsville Antique Mall staged space!  I had too much fun these last few days, and actually looked forward to the little time I spent there each day.  It is truly a wonderous place chock full of vintage decor, artwork, and furniture.  Here is what visitors will see when B104 broadcasts there live on Black Friday (if you want to stop by over the weekend, the staged space will still be there until Monday morning).

The left side of the space is our living room:

The wall was inspired by the large artwork in the center.  I fell in love with it right away!


This coffee table is way cool-marble top and looks like the base is from an old iron sewing machine.


Our giant bookcase!

 Staging a bookcase is so personal and there are many possibilities.  How would you stage yours?


The right side of the staged area is a desk/vanity area and foyer area:

Mixing furniture pieces, and decor too! creates a unique welcoming vibe in any home.


If you end up heading to the Zionsville Antique Mall take advantage of their sale, free treats, and have as much fun as I had!
