DIY how to brighten an all-white dresser

I decided that Miss L's all-white dresser needed more color so I decided to replace the knobs. Mister T and I went to Restoration Hardware first and bought glass knobs that were tinted lavender, but they didn't fit. Then we decided to try Gracious Home. I found these painted knobs in lavender and green that would match Miss L's room just perfectly. When I inquired about them I was told they were $30 each! A woman on the UWS paints them in her spare time (by day she is an attorney).




Mister T told me I should just paint the original knobs myself. I liked the idea and hoped that I could pull it off. I bought Benjamin Moore paint samplers and a small paint brush. Here is the finished product.



Instead of paying $30 for each knob, I ended up spending about $3 for each! And I had fun painting them!
