Preppy Knobs

The armoire is being delivered tomorrow; yay! I cannot wait to add it to the apartment and I am still in awe at the amazing price tag; wow, wow, wow! Anyway, as you may have noticed there are four drawer knobs on the armoire that I plan to replace. Do not get wrong I do love the solid pink knobs, but I want to spice it up a bit so I have come up with the following options:
I have a key chain (that pink alligator one) by this company, Lulu and Daisy, and they have more choices than you can imagine! If you have not checked out this site head over ASAP because I know you will be addicted!! As far as the knobs go you can even send them a paint sample and they will match the colors especially for your home. I am thinking either a pink, green and blue stripe or the paisley/bandanna pattern in pink green and navy would be right for me.
MacKenzie Childs knobs are sort of a classic choice. I think the zebra is flirtatious and fun and the fact that there is little pink/red would make it easy to work with and match.


This knob really does not match at all as the pink is off, but it was too cute not to include!

I actually painted a plate that is almost identical to this knob! I love the whimsical look and the colors would for sure work.

This knob would not match either, however I adore this shade of pink and green. Perhaps one of you all have the perfect room to use it in...
PS- Tomorrow it is time to celebrate February yet again! Check back for GIVEAWAY NUMERO DOS!

Changing the knobs would be great. I have always loved MacKenzie Childs. I was in Anthropologie on Sunday and they had some pretty amazing knobs too. Love & blessings from NC!

I love the pink paisley one! Painted knobs are so cute & they'll add a lot of personalization with just a little touch! Can't wait to see the finished result!

Maybe you need to paint the armoire a different shade of pink as a thought and then you can use the last knobs! They are my favorite!!!

I've had visions of the fun you are going to have with that armoire. Think of the interior options - wall paper, contrasting paint (green perhaps?) and the knobs. Oh what fun!

It's funny, I was just looking ad knobs in Anthropologie last week with my mom as she's looking for new ones for a bathroom my parents are renovating.

I love knob #3. It would look so cute on the armoire.

AEO said...

I have always loved McKenzie Childs' knobs. I'll bookmark the others you posted about as well. I"m planning on using them in my (future) nursery on the dresser and to make a small board with hooks.

Shannon said...

I think you should post pictures of the room that you will be having the pink piece in so that we can imagine what knobs might be best!

Preppy Pink Crocodile said...

So fun! I've been collecting MacKenzie Childs since I was in high school (yes- it was seen as an odd obsession for a teenager. whatever!). There is a fab store in Phipps in Atl- drool-worthy. Love it all!!

Cricket said...
