Luster Cabinet Knobs

I have a penchant for glass things, especially cobalt. It must be the sleekness and the color that attract me. As a child, I collected glass animals and objects and filled up shelf after shelf with them. Now I am drawn to old bottles, glass vases and bowls of every size shape and hue. These Luster Knobs from Sietto caught my eye with their bold colors and contemporary square shape. I love the way they pop off the cabinet door. Handmade from glass, the cabinet knobs are like a tiny piece of artwork for the kitchen. The knobs sit on a solid brass base and are 1-1/4" square. Knobs and pulls are available in several designs and colors. What a neat and fun way to update the kitchen or a favorite piece of furniture.

Updating With New Cabinet Knobs and Pulls

Since I am unable to do a whole kitchen redo, but still want to give it a fresh new look, I decided to update the cabinet hardware. The existing hardware was tarnished and dirty. I tried cleaning and polishing it, but that just resulted in taking off more of the finish. So, I figured changing the cabinet pulls and knobs would give my kitchen a more uniform and modern look. I chose cabinet knobs and pulls from Schaub & Company with nickel finish and distressed copper accents, which really lights up my honey-colored cabinets. Nickel finishes are very popular these days, and the knobs and pulls blend nicely with my kitchen faucet. What's more, you don't need a contractor to do it. All you need to do is unscrew the old ones and attach the new ones. Depending on how many knobs and pulls you have, you could probably finish in an afternoon.
