Drawer knobs
Well at 3.30pm precisely today a thought came into my mind. It came from nowhere I knew and from a place I had never previously been. A random thought that chose me. What was it? It was a thought that encouraged me to replace the beech knobs on my kitchen cupboards with an eclectic mix of vintage knobs. Coat thrown on, I walk to a street nearby well known for antiques and collectables. The plan – to collect vintage drawer knobs over a long period of time repkacing my existing ones one at a time. A hobby, a new distraction. First shop, in the doorway, a box of 24 mixed vintage drawer knobs. What was the chance of that? Cut short all my pirential months of fun. Knobs bought and fitted within 75 minutes. Looking for a new hobby and a use for 24 beech drawer knobs. Suggestions welcomed.

Hi Rosa,This is a real dilemna,24 beech drawer knobs,hmmmm,I know,why dont you paint them white and find a small grassed area and press them into the ground.You now have 24 beech look alike mushrooms at any time and if at any time you had a fancy to replace the new antique ones why then just retrieve the old ones from the garden,clean them up and reinstall them.I hope I`ve contributed to an answer for your vexed problem.
Hi Rosa, how lucky were you to find your little treasure………..as for the Beech knobs, you could screw them onto a nice piece of rectangular shaped wood and make a hanger for any number of things……….each knob painted a different colour would be nice for a children’s room…………….hang onto to the rest of the knobs, you never know when you may need them, says she who has been saving some blue and white ceramic ones for about 7 years after fitting new ones to a dresser………..Well !!……..Justin Case stills lives in my abode…….
Paint your old knobs in random bright colours. Screw them into a board. Fix the board to a wall. A perfect set on which to hang coats, hats etc. Or near where you do your ironing.
They stole my idea. You could hang jewelry on them, Good luck with finding another hobby, which many of us need.
