UGLY CABINET KNOBS TURNED FABULOUS!

Ugly Cabinet Knobs Turned Fabulous!

Cheap, Easy and Totally Reversible..

Perfect for renters...

PARIS
DUCK TAPE


We are finally settling down in our new home in Korea and as always what fun I am having making our new place home.  Although I like some modern things, I am not particularly drawn to the modern look.  I prefer the vintage cottage look and of course I love lace and soft colors.  As of late, I have taken a liking to the Paris look using vintage Paris images and words.  I am finding the Paris theme on many new items and I even found a Paris themed Duck Tape.  Looking at our kitchen cabinets, I was not feeling them at all.  They were square and very modern looking.  

Sooooooooooo after some thought, I had a light bulb moment and I thought hey we have that Paris Duck Tape. 

 HUMMMMMMM...........


Not so perfect Cabinet Knobs


NOW WOW!!!

I simply taped each little scene onto the knobs and cut them around the edges with an knife.  


When we get ready to move I can pull them off and return the knobs to their former condition. 


In this corner is our Coffee, Tea and Soda Stream Station. 


I love the little girl walking her poodle. 

I also added fabric and trim to the glass cabinets where I displayed my Laura Ashley Petite Fleur China.




I used a French Script Fabric and some crochet trim.  I took the shelves out and used dabs of hot glue to hold the fabric firmly in place.  I added the trim using hot glue as well.  When we are ready to move I can pull it all down.  

I have more things to share in the future, please come back and visit soon....

Our new addition to the family...

Bella our Yorkie!



Bella was born on July 6, 2014 and she came home with us on 27 September 2014.  She is a teacup Yorkie and should weigh around 4 pounds when she is fully grown.  We all just love her to pieces. 

See you soon,
Beverly
