Love the door knobs. Great idea. I have saved some doorknobs that I found at architectural salvage places for just this type of use. There are also tons of other things you can find at these types of places...old doors, windows, moulding and other trims, etc. I recently found a pair of old louvered doors that I am going to paint and hang outside on either side of my patio doors - reminiscent of what I have seen in Italy. I got the doors for $15.00. The cost of the paint and the hanging hardware is negligent.
Now I know what to do with all the glass doorknobs I've collected.....really love that idea! And the mirror....Kudos! Great job. Very impressed with the whole of the room!
This is a good example of how to play into the age of your house instead of trying to make it into something it is not. Vintage is not bad if people do not let it get dingy!
I think Jeanette said it perfectly. . . don't try to make it something it is not. Rather, CELEBRATE what it IS. . . and that is nothing less than charming.
Love this! The clock face and the door knobs below that include the face place - genius! It would be really easy to turn the faux clock into a working clock. A clock mechanism from the craft store is inexpensive and it would take up very little space inside the cabinet. And who couldn't use a clock in the bathroom?!?
But I am sure there are other ways as well.
