It’s Thrifty Thursday and if there’s one person in need of
saving a buck or two out there it is certainly me. I’m sorry for neglecting the blog this
summer, it has been a crazy one! I’ve
worked so much, mothered a busy toddler, planned a grand first birthday party,
studied for a professional certification, overseen another house project, taken
a much needed two week vacation, and played hostess to my sister – DC intern
and fellow Three Good Grapes contributor, Cristi. And oh by the way, the room under
construction is none other than my work and craft space, so I just haven’t had
a room to blog from. Rest assured, I am,
however, eating well and enjoying wine and will catch you up on ALL of this in
time!
So for today let’s get to it. I am totally crushing on brass hardware. What was once thought of as dated and
something straight out of grandma’s house is now my latest décor obsession. I am very subtly introducing it to my décor scheme
(as previously seen here). This week, I decided to
dress my new office cabinets with modern brass hardware and the result is even
more chic than I anticipated. I’m in love!

New modern hardware pieces in brushed or polished brass are
not cheap, but I was able to find these pulls for $6 each! A $30 makeover to my cabinets and it looks
like a totally different piece! Stay
tuned for before and after pics. The
electricians are installing the new light fixtures as we speak, so I’ll have
some light to take pictures with later!
