Bejeweled Furniture Knobs



I'm in the process of re-vamping some old antique furniture for my daughter's room, from horrible old dark to bright white. She wants black and white bedding, but her walls are a pale green, and frankly I'm not up to painting walls right now. I've looked every where for knobs for the furniture and if I can find something it's crazy expensive. so, i put my creative thinking cap on and came up with the perfect solution. I took plain wooden knobs from Lowe's, I think they were less than a dollar each, painted them black. Dug out the jewelry supplies and created a little bit of jewelry to attach to the knobs using a silver spacer to which attached a green crystal rhinestone using a strong jewelers type glue, I also used this to attache to the knobs. these are now the perfect color combination for her room ! Yeah

  10. Genius! I would never have thought of this! I was just contemplating spending $8 a knob for some pretty knobs I saw online, but I think I'm heading to Lowe's instead.
