simple makeover: knobs

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Remember that video I did for the Big Giveaway from last month? Remember at the end, how I pointed out the knob issue in the background? Well … I finally got around to switching those knobs.

I present to you … my latest home project. Ta-dahhh!

Everyone loves before + after shots. So here you go.

Aria cabinet: We got this from World Market about 5 years ago.

Cabinet function: We store CDs, DVDs, games, and other random little stuff.

Knobs: I picked these up from Hobby Lobby. They have a great knob selection and I was in the mood for a variety … but all black + white. The letters are family name initials.

Big wooden/painted frame on top of cabinet: Found at a boutique in Gardner Village south of Salt Lake City.

Green paint on the walls: It’s just about as Chartreuse as you can get. I don’t have an official paint name for it because I had Home Depot make the paint color based on matching a swatch of something … five years ago.

Super Helpful Project Assistant: Crew – age 2.

Time it took to switch all of the knobs: 15 minutes.

Time it took screw some back in after Crew realized he could loosen the knobs: 2 minutes.
