I know this isn't a new concept, many of you have already figured out this inexpensive, fast and easy makeover secret. But for those of you who have not, now's the time. I know you've been thinking about updating the rooms in your home before the guests start arriving for the holidays and don't want to spend a fortune or put in a lot of time. Here's the trick, change out the knobs and pulls on your furniture, built-ins, and cabinetry. This will give the room a new look and feel; it will update what you already have and can add a bit of color and whimsy. And it will have all your house guests asking about it.
Knobs and pulls can range anywhere from $2.00 to $25.00 (sometime even higher) depending on material and style. You can find great knobs for great deals at vintage shops and garage sales. Some of my favorites come from Anthropologie and can be ordered online.
These new pulls can make an old "tired" dresser or desk look fresh and inspired. Changing the hardware can also make an inexpensive piece of furniture look elegant and sophisticated.
On Saturday the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce put on their annual fashion show. This year the show was held at the Inn at Spanish Bay. I volunteered to set up and coordinate the show. It was a great success for everyone.
