The key to increasing traffic to your website is in the choice of title and key words for SEO, right? (I like to pretend I understand geek language). Knobs, check. Bling, check…I have a feeling this may backfire. Oh well, live and learn.
Adding new hardware to a simple IKEA dresser or thrift shop find can really turn drab furniture into an showcase piece in your home.
I’m obsessed with the US-store Anthropologie (they also own Urban Outfitters). They have 3 stores in Canada (yeah, eh!), but they’re all in Toronto… What about Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver? Seriously, couldn’t they share? They ship up North for a $20 flat fee (duty fees apply).
Great selection of knobs (check it out here.)
Alternatively, you can try visiting your nearest Pier 1 – Some of their stores carry a few different kinds. Hardware stores like Home Depot and Lowes are great if you’re seeking a more traditional look (chrome, brushed bronze, stainless). For an eclectic look; www.etsy.com has thousands of handmade knobs sold through different retailers.
Vintage dresser + Paint + Bling = BAM!

For my recent dresser transformation I spray painted the original hardware. (More $$ in my pocket!)
Thanks for stopping by my blog, until next time!
Love the knobs on your dresser the best! There’s a tiny little store (a longer drive for you) called the SouthHampton Market. I did a blog on how many knobs you can get from there for like pennies compared to the costs of Restoration Hardware.
And I’ve been living under a rock. TO has an Anthropologie store??!! Here I was all excited about Target. Now if we could just get West Elm & Room and Board & Restoration Hardware to the City…
Seems like they do! http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/help/store_locator.jsp
I’m so jealous.
Ohhhh Yorkville. That explains it. My budget is somewhere around thrift store central. I do like looking at everything though. It’s like me and Restoration Hardware. I’d have to win the lottery to their couch in my home. I am obsessed with their sectionals and trunks.
This reminds me of the time my friend visiting from England wanted to go to Tiffany’s on Bloor. We walked in there with our sweats on a Sunday morning after a night out (smelling like a vodka bottle). There must have been 10 consultants there and 3 patrons. We were ignored for 20 minutes until one of them allowed us to try on one of the rings (which was $250,000)… if you would have stuck a lump of coal up his bum, you would have gotten a diamond…. maybe that’s where the Tiffany diamonds come from?
