Hardware Round-up: Best Furniture Knobs under $5

Well, I thought I was going to have a cool DIY dipped-leg table project to show y'all today, but it turns out, the little guy is going to need a nice lacquering on top and I just didn't have time for all that before today. Next week, hopefully! 

So onto my next future project...

I've been thinking about "hacking" this Tarva 3-drawer dresser from Ikea for either our entry or strange and awkward dining room turned toddler kitchen/play area. Our entry is not that wide, so it's 15" depth is perfect--just enough for a small lamp and bouquet of fresh flowers.

And what Ikea hack project is complete without custom knobs to really make it pop? 

So I did a little searching to see what kind of cool knobs I could find out there, and here's what I came up with. These aren't your standard, run-of-the-mill chrome bars. I like to get a little funky with my hardware. After all, it's a great and inexpensive way to give your furniture some personality when needed. For an entry piece, that would be perfect. Check 'em out:

1. Hickory Hardware Rectangular Cabinet Knob in Antique Brass from Lowes: $4.81 // 2. Stone Mill Hardware Ashton Knob in Satin Nickel from Overstock: $13.39 for 5 // 3. Liberty Hardware Black Round Knob from Home Depot: $0.98 // 4. Turquoise Round Glass Knob from Hobby Lobby: $4.99 // 5. White Ceramic Knob with Gold Metal Top from Hobby Lobby: $3.99 // 6. Hickory Hardware Conquest Brass Octangular Knob from Lowes: $2.52 //  7. Brainerd Serafina Chrome Octangular Knob from Lowes: $3.97 // 8. Classic Hardware Distressed Antique Brass Flat Top Knob from Vandykes: $2.66 // 9. Light Green Ceramic Scallop Knob from Hobby Lobby: $3.99 // 10. Flat Black Ceramic Scallop Knob from Hobby Lobby: $3.99 // 11. Antique Brown Glass Knob from Hobby Lobby: $4.99 // 12. Hickory Hardware Round Cabinet Knob in Antique Brass: $2.84

I'm really loving the green scallop. That would be so pretty on a charcoal painted dresser with gold feet (which I'd also like to replace...maybe put it on some small antique casters...). And the great thing about Hobby Lobby is they have their hardware on sale for 50% off pretty regularly. And if they are short on the number of knobs you need, they'll order the rest in for you at the same discounted price. 

What's your go-to place for interesting hardware? 

I'm always on the look-out for great sources. If there's one I've left out, drop us a line!

Until next time...
