Look in the Attic

I just discovered this site for architectural hardware and vintage tableware - Look in the Attic. Wish I had known about them 2 years ago! I had a difficult time finding four matching air registers for our rowhouse. The size was unusual. Eventually I found some rusty ones (that I cleaned up) in a little shop in Frederick, MD... but this would have made searching a whole lot easier. Love these knobs...
How cute would these be on a painted black dresser?

I remembered seeing this lovely transformation (below) in a Cottage Living earlier this year. I think this might be my next furniture project... now, if only I had a place to put it!

Thanks for the tip - we have some non-standard switchplates in our house and wanted to change them to an oil rubbed bronze finish, but finding a cover with room for 4 rockers is tough. This site actually carries them - in a couple of different styles.

Yay, we've been touting the pleasures and delights of traditional style hardware, as well as creative places to put it, for years now! Good to see there are some kindred spirits out there.

We also love door knobs and lever handles as coat hooks and towel holders in the bathroom. Lever handles even make for a cute, easy-pull-off style hook :-)
