While I continue to drool over Pinterest images like the one above, we’re slowly making progress on our built-in bookcase project. We’ve purchased primer and this weekend, I’ll head to Sherwin Williams to get more of the trim paint our builder used (so the bookcases will seamlessly blend with the existing baseboards). The next step will be sketching out exactly how this will all come together, and buying the lumber for the shelving portion.
Until the dreaded priming and painting comes, I’m thinking ahead to accessorizing. And no, not just all the fun things I’ll put IN the bookcases (like all that yellow loveliness above!) but what I’ll put ON them. No ordinary knob hardware will do for these…they need to be a little funky and have some flair.
I’m not sure I’m sold on using color on the knobs, but if so, these Antropologie lovelies are at the top of my list…

As an alternative to a metal finish, I like the still neutral but glammed-up mercury glass look…

Same with this vintage-cool glass knob that still has a hint of rubbed oil bronze that would match the hardware throughout the rest of the house…

We have done some pewter throughout to mix up the finishes and complement the grey wall colors. I liked the modern square shape of this one…

Same with this green glass (acrylic?) version…

And if I can’t commit to a color, I like this neutral version as well…

I’ve always loved the look of these latch-style knobs – a little more industrial and I like when cabinet doors shut tight as opposed to “floating” closed.

Feel free to vote for any favorites…this gal is completely confused!
















I vote for either the latch-style or the glass knobs. I know knobs are easy to change out, but these I think are timeless.
I am really liking the ones that are more industrial looking. The latch style ones.
I do like the clear ones as well. They are all nice. Which ever ones you choose I am sure they will look great. You have never failed in home decorating. Did you study to be an interior designer or an organizer?
Can’t wait to see the finished product with the ones you have chosen.
