DIY Ideas for Knobs

Refurbishing and updating old furniture is very popular these days.  I am always on the lookout for a great thrift store or habitat find!  Many times you will find an old piece of furniture you love, but some or all the knobs and handles are missing.  I thought it would be fun to find different and unique ideas for DIY knobs. You never know when you might need some inspiration.

The knobs below are ones I particularly like, but there are soooo many more ideas out there!

Have you ever used an unconventional item for knobs or handles on furniture? I would love to hear. :D

The KEGerator

Okay men… Here is a DIY project that will make you happy on Father’s Day. :D  It’s called a KEGerator!

What is this Keg thing, you ask?  It’s a do-it-yourself keg in a refrigerator with a tap handle on the outside for easy filler-ups!  The Hubbs of my friend, Carol, set this system up.  While I don’t want this compliment to go to her Hubbs head, it is rather brilliant! ;)

My Hubby about fell on the floor when he opened the refrigerator in their garage and saw this.  I don’t know if there is one of these things in our future, but the happiness I heard when he yelled “Laurie, you really gotta see this!!” makes me think it a possibility!

If you Google KEGerator, you will find companies that sell the supplies, including Home Depot.  The prices range quite a bit, but this particular set up cost only $65.00 (Keg not included).
