There's a magical place in Los Angeles called Liz's Antique Hardware.
Until today, I'd never been there.
And that's a good thing.
Because HOLY SMOKE, it's amazing! I could spend days exploring the store and then readily drop a thousand dollars without even being aware of what happened or where exactly it went.
Every kind of fabulous fixture that you could ever want in your home is there, but today, I was specifically looking for knobs and handles for my new built-ins (which I swear I will post a picture of once they're all pretty).
This is what I found:
Hundred-year old glass knobs and antique brass handles and mounts. They're absolutely perfect for Ryan's built-ins, which genuinely look like they were built in the '20s with the house.
Were they cheap?
They were not.
But like everything else at Liz's Antique Hardware, they were worth every penny.
Awesome!! I inherited this very old dresser/odd piece of furniture. It was actually dated to late 1700's...Anyway, it had the original glass knobs but the last 10 years it started seriously falling apart. Beyond repair. I was heartbroken but the drawer fronts were still in pretty good shape. They were semi-long with one knob each. I took the fronts and was able to drill holes for two more knobs to make a really cool coat/bag rack. I swear I've seen the same thing in Pottery Barn!!
I LOVE that brass handle! I'll have to start hunting out some hardware like that.
