Out with the boring

I posted earlier about how hardware can totally change the look of a piece of furniture and I was inspired to do something about the dresser in our master bedroom.

This is before. It's ok. The hardware was never my favorite and because the knobs were square and whenever one got a little loose it would be all askew and drive me nuts. Plus they were kinda boring brushed silver and a little small for the scale of the dresser. I had good intentions of changing it but never got around to it.

ps...sorry for crap photo quality, the good camera was dead.
oh, and I had already done one side when I decided to take a photo. oops.

So enter these concave gold knobs I found. Sooooo much better! It's like they always belonged. Hooray for easy fixes that only take 15 minutes! 

I'm toying with the idea of doing these drop pulls on the lower 4 drawers....hhmmmm. Thoughts?

For the kiddos...

I know I don't normally post a lot of kids stuff, but when I got the spring catalog for Mini Boden, I decided to change my mind. My little one has worn more than her fair share of the line and I have to say it's one of my faves. It is made wonderfully and stands up to the abuse she puts her clothes through. Here are a few of my favorites from the new catalog. I am dying to get that scallop pattern dress and that striped swimsuit. Go to bodenusa.com to see the whole catalog. Love!

Looking for: Hardware

I'm on the hunt for some fabulous drawer pulls. 99% of the time, the drawer pulls that come on furniture are ho-hum or straight up ugly. New hardware is a great way to breathe new life into an old piece. It changes the look completely. Here are a few of my faves that I've found along the way.

Check out this AMAZING hardware line that hasn't launched yet, but you better believe that when it does, those gold lucite pulls are mine! It's from Nest Studio and it's being produced by Inlight hardware. Find more info HERE.

Bathroom in B&W

Hope most of you are enjoying a well-deserved day off today. I have been meaning to post this bathroom that is featured in the current issue of Veranda. I am totally in love with the black + white marble floors and that acrylic table. Simple, clean, and modern. Everything a bathroom should be.
