Anyone else remember that Seinfeld episode? I know some of you were beginning to doubt the existence of the built-ins, but hahaha. You are wrong!
The funny thing about the built-ins is that while they visually take up a lot of space our room seems bigger and I think the need for a headboard is more apparent than ever. Plus, that little alcove creates more of an echo than you would think.
I decided on antiqued brass hardware with straight, clean lines. This is the best of both worlds in my opinion... a traditional finish with a modern shape. I think the size of the handles really plays well with the scale of the drawers. I opted for knobs on the doors... it's not a major game changer, but I think the switch up broke things up a bit which is visually appealing.
The sconces have been a great addition. I love how clean they look. They could use a little more flair for my liking and I've been toying with adding a ribbon trim. Not sure if I want to commit if bedding and a rug are still up in the air. Although, you never know when I may bust out the hot glue gun?!?
I realize I haven't given much styling advice, but I've got a separate post coming about all those nitty gritty details. For now, let's just sit back and enjoy the before and after!
Cheers,

Wow Jessie, you have some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get said hardware? Or do you have little elves under the house?
ReplyDeleteYes, we do have elves. They were the ones causing all the flooring problems. I got the hardware from http://www.coolknobsandpulls.com. They have a ton of selection and pretty good prices. You can also check out myknobs.com.
