simple makeover: knobs

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.

    I guess I’m just old school, but I like the traditional knobs much better. Still, I think it was fun that you tried something new!!!

    Love the knobs but love that Crew took them off even better. How funny. Aren’t our children just sohelpful. Mine always loved unfolding the laundry. I miss those days but get to enjoy it with my grandchildren.

  12. These knobs are really cute. I also love the tile in your kitchen. I was wondering if you remember the name of the tile?
