Desk Makeover For Real This Time!

Have you ever been working on a project and got right at the end of completing it and realized you didn't have what ever you may have needed to complete it? Or maybe you were trying to be money savvy and just didn't want to buy whatever it was you may have needed?

Well that's exactly what happened to me, But being patient has definitely paid off in a big way.

I showed you about a month ago my "Beach Office Reveal" and In that reveal was a desk I made over, and even though it was not finished I showed you anyway.

(I just love showing unfinished projects) HA! The knobs for my desk were the missing piece.
If you have ever remade a furniture piece and changed out the hardware, then you know yourself that hardware can get pricey. Especially when you need A LOT. And being the bargain shopper that I am, some THINGS I just REFUSE to pay a lot for. and that was one of those things.

Sooooo. I was browsing in Big lots Store the other day and came across some "awesomeness" let me just show you!



Yes! Yes! seashell Hardware. Now! was that just a perfect find or what? and being that it was a beach theme office makeover what could be more nautical then seashell hardware....whoop whoop!


 The best part isn't just the fact that I came across "Seashell Hardware" Its that Four knobs came in a box for $2.50  Yes Honey you read that right Four knobs came in the box for a whole $2.50. And I needed a total of eighteen. Can you imagine what I would have paid for eighteen knobs from Lowe's or Home Depot? The price would have been outrageous.....



Just in case you care to see what It looked like in the very beginning here's a picture.



I  Removed the top part...



And that's it folks another project checked off my list as "completed".

Have a great week and please come again.

Yours Truly,
Sharon

Beautiful! Love the knobs...and the price! Watch craigslist and ebay, alot of people who order cabinets get free hardware and don't plan on using them so they will sell them on these sites. Just in case you are ever in need of knobs or pulls again :)
