The Blonde Diaries

After Mike and I moved in two weeks ago, I started to dust and put things away. I also started noticing a few things like how knicked up some of our furniture pieces are and how dull our drawer pulls were on our respective dressers. Instead of throwing out our furniture like most people our age do, I decided to look online to see what I could do to spruce things up around here. I found furniture pens that match the various shades of wood to help fill in and cover knicks and scratches so that they wouldn’t be obvious from a distance. I also found some decorative hardware, aka drawer knobs, from Invitinghome.com for about $30 each. Since I only need a few the price isn’t too big of a deal. I found these ones which are Victorian Knobs in Antique Brass finish with Blue Sodalite. I love the color blue and the brass would match the color of my wood drawers beautifully as that is the color of the plain knobs I have now.

If knobs aren’t what you are looking for, Inviting Home has lots of other ways to spruce up your home without spending a fortune. Their website is very inviting for browsers, very much similar to their name “inviting home”. The website has an inspiration section, an installation section for do it yourselfers, and a decorating ideas section to help you figure out different ways to spruce up your home. One way to make a dramatic improvement would be to install crown molding which is very easy to do yourself. Inviting home has instructions on installing crown molding and multiple pages of different crown molding designs for you to choose from. You are guaranteed to find one that you love at a great price.
