12 Creative Decorative Knob Ideas

If you haven't noticed I have a thing for hardware! 

Decorative knobs on furniture is the icing on the cake for me.

It is what sets off a great piece.

Hometalk asked me to curate a board of some great knob posts to get your creative ideas flowing!

I love all that are out there and now you can pin them and have them all in one place!

I would love for you to go check them out! 

Leave me a comment and let me know which one is your favorite!

Bella Rustica Barn Sale 2013

Hello friends! What a busy weekend!  

Gosh was it Hot!!

Saturday was spent mainly outside in Lebanon, Tennessee at Legacy Farms. I enjoyed a Hometalk Blogger Meet-up with some area bloggers at Bella Rustica, a vintage marketplace and barn sale.

It was at a new location this year. If you remember I was a vendor last year. My booth was Micucci Designs. I had a blast but it was tons of work! This year I decided to shop instead! 

I wish they kept it in October because it was a hot one and made it difficult to really get into it. With that said, there was still a lot of great booths and wonderful rusty junk!

I missed my blogger friends from last year. Donna from Funky Junk Interiors and Sandra from Sawdust Girl kept me laughing and we got to know each other on a more personal level that just behind the screen!

So we got to the gate and waited for it to open.

And What was the first thing I saw?
