Hardware

Recently I fell in love with the knobs and pulls at Hobby Lobby. And Home Depot. And Lowes. And Target! I could spend hours looking at them.

Oh...

Ah...
Pretty...



But they aren't cheap. Especially if you have a dresser that needs 20! And I change my mind about what I like a lot.

But I saw this on the Shabby Nest last night and I love it! It won't work for every room, but it will be cute in the girls room:

Do you see that drawer pull!! It is ribbon! What a brilliant idea! Cute and so cheap!

And it will save me a few pennies that I can put toward the 20 I need for my room!

Those glass ones are making me go all crazy. I can't "handle" it. I love them.

THe ribbon idea is a good one. And for actual knobs, check ebay-- some really good deals!!!

You totally rock! My daughter is hell on drawer knobs, I've replaced the 10 on her dresser 3 TIMES in the last 2 years! I am definitely going to try ribbon!

I used ribbons for pulls in my room when I was a kid! They do turn out cute! We've been searching new pulls for our Kitchen cabinets and I keep gasping at the price.

How did you know I needed to replace the pulls on my girls dresser? I love this idea. I'm going to HL this weekend to get some ribbon & adding this to my list of projects to do.
Thanks for finding it!

I think it's cute, but dh would like it about as much as my wanting to paint the living room pink. ;)

Very cute! I also have a "thing" for knobs and pulls!

The ceramic looking ones are so pretty. I bought Sophie a flea market dresser and need knobs after I paint. I love all these ideas!

Marie said...

That is a darn cute idea!! Perfect for a little girls room!

I love knobs and pulls too! In fact, if you want to get your fix without breaking the bank, just get one for each member of your family and attach them to a board for hanging storage. I did one this Christmas to hang our stockings from- no fireplace. I painted the words, The stockings were hung... and Voila! Cute stocking hanger. (you can see it on my Christmas blog gingerbreadandcandycanes dot blogspot dot com). All the knobs I used came from Hobby Lobby. But now I'm going for ribbon in my daughter's room I'm currently redecorating---cute idea!
