Some New Vintage in the Dining Room

By Jordan | Projects

I bought this vintage bar off  Craigslist right when we moved into our house.  It was one of the first projects I did on the blog.  I painted it, and it has been a good little cabinet to use in our dining room.

This bar/cabinet sits in the corner of our dining room and holds our alcohol and drinking glasses for different drinks.  Since I painted it, it has just sat in the corner.  However, I realized after I put up the gold striped curtains last week that the bar was just lost in the room.  I decided to dress it up with some flashy new pulls.

See these pulls?  Neither could I, and I really couldn’t see them from across the room.  I decided it was time for a quick change.  I went to Hobby Lobby because they have a good selection of pulls at great prices – especially when they are on sale.

I found these cute flowers and even better they were 50% off.  They reminded me of costume jewelry from the 1950’s.  Don’t you think they look like a pair of earrings from that era????  That’s why I love them.  We have some mid-century going on in our 1928 bungalow.

I thought this would be one-minute project.  I would unscrew the old knobs, and screw in the new ones.  It turns out that the new ones were a tad thicker and wouldn’t fit in the hole that was currently in the bar.

Down to the basement I went to get the drill.  The quick action of this bad boy made the opening  the size needed for the new knobs.

Even though I had to make a minor adjustment to the bar, this project was super fast.  Plus, it is just what the bar needed.  Some vintage flower knobs to go with the vintage bar.

I always love to see how a five minute project can make a difference.

Do you have any quick fixes that you are proud of?  Please share.
