This, my friends, is what my living room looks like on a typical day

Here it is without any knobs.

    These are beautiful! I love the color, and the knobs you chose fit so perfectly, giving an extra pop of color. Oh, and I'm loving your coffee table with the toy storage underneath. That.is.awesome. Pinning these, and featuring you in this week's issue of Inspire Me Wednesday! Thank you for sharing.

      Thanks for the feature Mel! That's awesome!! My son calls this the "Lego Room" not the living room. And I'm just happy it gets used, so many living rooms don't. I can't wait to see Inspire Me Wednesday! Thanks again, ~Liz

    Oh, and as I sit here commenting, I have a project sitting in my hallway, halfway done, no knobs whatsoever. I just have to finish it.... procrastinators unite, right?:)

    Are you kidding? These are fantastic!! The creative process takes time, and perfection is definitely a creative process. I like the way they blend with the wall project. Le sigh...... :)

      Thanks so much Shelly! I should make myself a sign that says that... "The creative process takes time." My husband would definitely get a laugh out of it. :)

    I love this! I just painted my dining room hutch with silver metallic paint. Very trying. Can't get it perfect. Almost ready to put it back together and see what it really looks like. The Martha Stewart metallic is hard to use also. I used it on a picture frame. I also tried a Benjamin Moore metallic glaze. All very difficult if you are looking for perfection on a large area. Your table looks great! And probably only you will notice the imperfections. At least that is what I am telling myself!

      Thanks Linda! And that's so good to hear. I'm glad it wasn't just me that had a hard time with it. Since this project I use silver metallic spray paint whenever possible. The imperfections don't bother me one bit anymore. It's the rest of the room that does! Lol. And with all the imperfections you can definitely tell they're hand painted and not mass produced. All in all, not bad for $15!
