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.

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.

DIY Damask Cabinet

We bought this lovely little cabinet at a local Amish market.

It had clean lines, solid construction and I fell in love.

Plus, we always need storage.

We brought it home and it found a permanent spot in our entryway.

Then I spent a few months trying to decide

how to finish it.

Paint? Stain? What color?

I tend to waffle, so the best decision was no decision.

Then I saw THIS this incredible tutorial from Twice Lovely!

It was exactly what I was looking for!

It had the added oompf this little cabinet needed.

But I wasn't sure on the color.

Again I waffled.

White with gray? Black with dark gray?

And then I saw this beauty on Pinterest from Joss and Main!

The stars had aligned.

The heavens opened.

I stopped waffling.
