The first step was stripping and sanding the drawer. Before painting the drawer, I applied a coat of spackle to crack the top coat. The last step was painting it with acrylic white paint.
Now the challenge was to find a way to make cost effective knobs. I looked on line and the porcelain hand painted cost up to $25.00. I didn't want to spend that kind of money. I found these plain wooden ones at Home Depot for about .59 a piece. Quite a savings!
So, I began searching for ideas.
Here are some of the ones I liked from the Internet.
But, nothing really caught my eye. Since I wanted to do a Blue Willow look, I pulled one of my Blue Willow plates out.
I started sketching on a sheet of paper. This is what I came up with. It is a very rough version, but works fine with the blue white theme I have going on in the Great Room.
Now the remotes have a home and I feel that I had conquered the clutter.
