the little things...

We've been taking very small (but neccessary) steps over the past couple weeks on the condo. A host of different visitors have stayed with us over the past month (which we have loved, by the way!) so we haven't had any large chunks of time to work on things. But we have been making headway in getting some small things accomplished! Like doorknobs!

As usual I agonized over the style of doorknobs and plates to purchase from Rejuvenation. It was between a beaded metal knob design, glass or the white porcelain. We ended on the porcelain because we like how they contrast the oil rubbed bronze plates and it's also very Victorian inspired. We're also really excited that the plates have keyholes (you can't get those at home depot!)

One other small accomplishment is that we put up some curtains in our bedroom. I know everything is looking very black and white right now... in time, I promise, we will have some color in our lives. The overall plan for our bedroom is for most everything to be black and white with simple pops of color as accents (new duvet and pillow covers soon to come as well as some additional furnishing pieces).

  1. hi brett!
    it is so fun to follow your progress on the blog! i quite enjoy it : )

    and just a comment - when i was employed, we had a field trip to the rejuvenation factory ... you would love it ... very historically oriented as well as into sustainability! so glad you were able to find a few pieces through them! if you ever need in-person pictures, let me know!

    good luck with everything + enjoy the bedroom! looks great!
