Quotable Friday + Link Love

thedesignerpad.com - 6.1.12

Such wise words.

Thanks for bearing with me this week on my lack of posts.  I started a new flexible schedule this week, which is fabulous on Fridays, but makes the rest of the week very long. This girl is tired!!

I’ll be soaking up some ocean air and sun on Sunday, so here are a few links to tide you over until next week.  Happy Friday, darlings!

  1. Wedding season is upon us! This bit on “Weddiquette” will surely get you through…hopefully with a few laughs.
  2. The 2014 list of most endangered historic places has been released. Sigh.
  3. I am 9,725 days old and the candles on my birthday cakes have totaled 351.  How old are you?
  4. How to make a house a home on a thrift store budget.
  5. Oh this is embarrassing.
  6. You could have a celebrity landlord! Check out these rentals.
  7. 10 uses for wallpaper scraps.
  8. Do you catch yourself paying more attention to the set than the story in movies? If so, you’ll love these house tours.

And in case you missed it this week…

Knobs & Pulls

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the new glass we had installed for our shower in the master bathroom. I’m absolutely in love with it, and it’s got me thinking about our hardware options for the vanity in this bathroom.

We loved the built in cabinets we had made for the den bathroom so much that we decided to have our vanity in the master bathroom custom made as well.  When we priced out how much it would be to get something that was big enough for the space from Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. we found that we really weren’t spending too much more for a custom piece.

This is the inspiration photo we gave the builder:

And this is how it turned out:

Overall, we were very happy with it!  Right now it is just primer white, but we have plans to add a couple coats of high gloss white soon.  We are still trying to decide between a few light gray options for the walls.

So that brings us to the hardware.  I’m feeling torn between going with the more modern feel of this bathroom and sticking with the traditional notes that are found throughout the house.

If we go the modern route, I’d like to install sleek rods on both the drawers and doors.  Here’s what I imagine with this option…

For the more traditional route, I envision glass knobs on both the drawers and doors.  Maybe something like this…

And just when I think I’ve got it narrowed down to two options, I see this:

Lucite and nickel?  Yes please!  Not sure it would fit in, but I kind of love it.

Update: This giveaway has closed. You can see the winner here!

I have to tell you, I’m in love with our new red front door!  I can’t wait to paint the other doors red as well.  It really adds a whole new element to our curb appeal that I didn’t even know we were looking for.
