Weekend Treat



These hexagonal glass drawer pulls come in a bunch of delicious colors at houseofantiquehardware.com. When new furniture is out of the budget, I use these to add flair to the old stuff. I like the opaque milkiness of the one pictured, and there are black ones that have a nice art deco feel.

The other thing I enjoy about hardware is that it helps tie together the mishmash that is our gingerbread house, my mid mod furniture and accessories, and my mom's Calico Corners furniture.

  1. Just a quick suggestion regarding the furniture: if it needs updating, consider reupholstery or slipcovers (if the furniture is in good shape). This is a great way to recycle good frames and make them work with new decor (and Calico Corners sells good quality furniture that is worth recovering). Your furniture probably has 8-way hand-tied springs, hardwood frames and other features that make it worth redoing. You can find more information about recovering furniture--and reupholstery versus slipcovers--at www.calicocorners.com.
    Happy decorating!
