I've been obsessed with sparkly glass drawer pulls for a long time now - what better way to jazz up a beat up curbside find? - but haven't been willing to pay the $18 EACH I've been seeing them for in stores.A troll in the Beaches the other day unearthed a new shop with a whole counter of pulls - for way less coin than I've ever seen them!
In Nesters (2207 Queen St. East, 416-698-2207) I found these blue acrylic pulls for less than $3 each! There are also glass and ceramic ones for good prices.
Needless to say I bought a wack to add a bit of bling to this dark dresser - you can see the difference here.The old faux tortoise shell pulls are lovely, but don't really do much for this dresser, you'll agree.
I ended up buying two too many just for the heck of it - I have a lot of dressers - and just before beddie-bye last night discovered a cool alternative use for these drawer pulls.Can you guess? Check out some of my older posts, where I switch up lampshades and lampshade hardware to create entirely new looks!
You guessed it: a lamp finial! Doesn't it look like a little jewel on the top of my lamp? I love the way it's all illuminated.The purple shade helps - I tried the drawer pull on a lamp with an off-white shade and it doesn't look as special.
