So I'm looking at my shiny gold brass kitchen cabinet knobs the other day, thinking......."oh, you just do not go anymore!" However, I wasn't ready to go plunk down $3 or $4 a knob to get new ones, especially considering I'd need 44!!!! Yes, 44 of those babies. So I said to myself...."Self, the shape of the knobs is fine, why not try a can of paint....?" Oh, such a lightbulb moment for me! I also said to my hubby, "I really don't like these, and I'm just going to try to spray paint them, ok??".....knowing full well that if I ruined them, well, uh, yes, there are FORTY- FOUR of them.
So I gave it a whirl!
Here's the lovely before....and I stuck them all in florist foam, because I am all about re-purposing and re-using!
So now I begin to spray them with Rustoleum Brown Hammered Metal Spray Paint......love it!
And yes, you'll see that I also spray painted another THING in the background. That, my friends, is another post! So this is what my kitchen cabinet knobs NOW look like....and now I am having my "aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh" moment...just right!
Ok, I don't know WHY but blogger flipped this picture!! Anyone know how I can flip it now that it's posted?????? ugh. Well, anyway, you can see what a difference it makes and how much better it goes with the granite countertop that is now showing on the right hand side of the photo, but is really truly on TOP of the countertop!!! I promise!
Now, I am off to see what container I can stuff that spray painted foam into!! ;)
*****Edited to add......I have a new friend blogging....she will add some beauty to the blogworld! She is a silk flower designer, and she creates some GORGEOUS arrangments.....no "poor, somebody kill this faux arrangement!" designs from her! Check her out at Designs on 47th Street and let her know I sent you her way. She needs encouragement to keep up the great work! Shout out to Donna! Love you, girl!

Suzanne, those knobs look terrific! Yah for being so resourceful. What a difference in updating AND I am loving that little peek of granite I see.
Thanks for the pat on the back for my new blog. This will be fun...I just know!
What a brilliant idea. I'm so glad it worked out for you.
They look great. You can also buy that same paint in a can, paint can, not spray paint. I've used it for many many things and have blogged about it. I brushed it on all of my brass bathroom things in our powder room recently, including the light fixtures.
Great update for just a little, little money.
Blessings,
Sher
