Inventory

I posted yesterday about revamping this small chest of drawers, painting and changing out the nob to create a new look. If you read it, you probably remember that I referenced my dad and his tendency to keep things as "inventory". Don't get me wrong, this could be construed as hoarding but there is a fine line between keeping interesting things for future specific use and just having a bunch of crap.

There are tons of sales going on right now and so I wandered into Anthropologie as one does. I love their concept but find most of it way too painfully expensive to consider. So when there is a sale, I beeline for it. I really love their housewares department and was poking around in their cabinet pull section. I found something amazing!

I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but I knew I had to have it. It's sweet and porcelain and blue.And it was $1.95, as opposed to $10.00. Duh. 

I came home and tried it on the new rehab'ed set of drawers but Dan felt it was too girly, which he wasn't wrong. I sighed and thought well I guess I could tuck it away and see what comes up. I went into our bathroom to tame my hair, reached into our little cabinet and Voila! I found a new spot.

I found this wondrous cabinet item at HomeGoods a few months ago and it fit in our tiny teeny bathroom, in a sort of non-descript way. Sometimes you just need a useful piece of furniture that blends in.

I popped out the old nob and leapt for joy as the new one fit beautifully. 

Now my non-descript bathroom cabinet has it's very own little personality. And all for $1.95.
