Knobalicious

Anthropologie

One of the little joys of furniture UpStyling is selecting the knobs or handles for a piece. From the moment I lay eyes on a furniture project, my mind is not only imagining all the paint possibilities, but also the all the possibilities for the hardware. In fact, I think I get a little crazy. Oh youll see what I mean! Just wait till you get yourself on etsy.com and immerse yourself in all the knobs etc available. Glass, vintage, handpainted, hanging....oh the choices are endless!
The places I most often look to for knobs are:

• Esty.com and ebay.com
• hobbylobby.com (there is also a location in Columbia, MD!)
• anthropologie.com

When deciding what hardware to use for a piece, dont forget to consider using what is already on a piece. Original harware can really keep the vintage feel or you can simply update it by actually painting the hardware itself.
