a simple knob.

when lovebird and i first got married and moved into our first little home.

{it's an apartment, but it feels like a home.}

we refused to pay the hefty installation fee of 

mounting our tv above our fireplace.

even though that space had "i exist only to hold a tv" written all over it,

i wasn't willing to spend hundreds of dollars and give in. 

lovebird and i, not being big tv watchers (still to this day),

 decided a little table of some sort would do the trick.

we ran to trusting target, and sure enough we found a little table.

when i say little, i'm also talking a ticket price of $20.

for these first two years of marriage, that little table has done us well;

it perfectly perfumed it's job while looking somewhat decent.

however, i happened to stumble across a complete gem the other day.

ya know, the kind that has a big red clearance sticker on it.

disregarding it's few scratches and missing door knob,

i snatched it right up and put it in it's place before lovebird could 

even think of saying "no".

ideas of painting, sanding, turning into a

 vintage masterpiece raced through my head.

however, i decided to do simple, {at least for now}.

i'm proud to say this little guy only cost me $4.89 for "repairs",

and i couldn't have asked for a better home for our tv. 

trust me, i know there are hundreds of more impressive makeovers out there.

some are very time consuming and involve heavy labor-

which of course, produces a beautiful end product.

that being said, sometimes a little knob or two can do the trick,

and produce a just as lovely outcome.

a makeover doesn't have to be big, to be right.

now, go splurge and by yourselves a couple knobs to transform

a piece you are slightly tired of.

it will feel brand new all over again. 

p.s. knobs are all half off at hobby lobby right now! 

ready, set, run!!
