TELLING A STORY WITH HARDWARE...

I find it interesting how things as small as knobs and pulls can help tell a story and add personal style to a home. 

There are so many options now that you can even make these the unexpected, pop of color in a space.  If you have a particular theme in your home, a beach home, for example--there are many options that will help bring the ocean indoors!  If you are wanting to update your look in small doses, replacing your hardware can work wonders!  Or if you buy an inexpensive piece of furniture, like a desk...try replacing the knobs with unique, contrasting knobs.  It will dress up the piece and make it appear more costly or better quality.

I find that a great place to look for the fun, unexpected hardware is Anthropologie.  With a great website and a store located in South Park Mall, it isn't too difficult to check out their fantastic selection of whimsy!











Another great place to look is Restoration Hardware.  They offer more sleek, understated options that are lovely.





For fun...
