Finishing Touch

She's finally all done!
Yeah, it's a she.
Glass knobs and all.


After an exhaustive search, I found the perfect glass knobs for my damask painted cabinet.

Ok, when I say "exhaustive" I mean going to Lowe's and wandering around
the decorative hardware section.

I found the perfect circular crystal knobs, but sadly they had a brass base.
I thought I could paint them up, but then realized the brass showed through the glass,
making the crystals seem somewhat amber colored.
Back to the drawing board.

The other knobs were kind of boring, and not the right size:



Then I found this little number.


It was the correct size, fit with damask patter on the cabinet, had an interesting shape, 
wasn't brass and it was only $3.97 per knob!
Score!!

Let me fresh your memory on how the cabinet looked prior to adding the knobs.
You can find the full post HERE



Here is a close up.
I feel they are small enough to fit the right into the damask pattern
but not overshadow it.


I think it's the perfect compliment. 



Decorative hardware really does add that perfect finishing touch!
I didn't think I could love it more,
but I do.

  3. This cabinet is gorgeous! I read your whole tutorial on making it. Wow.. 6.5 cans of spray paint. lol
    Really like the knobs you selected too.

    I've often wondered if those Tracers were any good... obviously it worked out well for you. Now I want one.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
    Your dimensional stained glass pieces (shoe & bird) are absolutely breathtaking. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

    I have a question for you. How do you store your glass at home? It is a big issue for me and I would love some ideas.

    thanks.. nan birdiessing.com

    1. Aww, thanks so much for the kind comment! I have a few ways to store my glass. Everything is sorted by color to make it easier to find.

      Larger sheets of glass (over 12"X12") are laid flat and stored in armoire.
      Medium sized sheets (8"X10" and up) are in milk crates, standing on end, so I can flip through the sheets.
      Small sheets are in hard plastic magazine holders, standing on end.
      Tiny pieces and leftover cuts are stored in plastic shoe boxes and stacked. I use these for mosaics, fusing, making beads and jewelry.

      Hope this helps!
