knobs and hooks

87115_pin_frt

that sounds kind of dirty, but really this is a super girly, super proper post. as most people around me know, i’m an anthropologie freak. i literally donate half my paycheck to their well-designed stores every month. but, inspired by the idea of renovating some pieces of my old furniture, i thought i’d check out the knobs and doodads they had to offer.

seeing as coral has been the rage for the past few months they have a few coral pieces to keep you happy if that’s your thing. i’m drawn towards the antique-looking glass knobs, but you really can’t go wrong with any of them. so, whether you’re dressing up a new dresser or adding some much needed flair to an old cabinet, anthropologie has some great designs you should definitely check out.

Agreed! Anthropologie is great. The stores are well-designed and sell an entire lifestyle. In this case, the sum is definitely greater than its parts. A true “destination” spot in terms of retail. I don’t buy the clothes because, uh yeah, I’m a dude. But they do have a great selection of home furnishings that coordinate well with lifestyle they are selling. (What would you call it… Urban world-traveller boho-chic? Upscale Urban Outfitters for Powergirls with expense accounts and passports?) My one and only purchase from them was the red coral hook (because that IS my thing). And it looks damn good in my bathroom. Anthropologie–made for a woman, but strong enough for a man.

My mom always had pieces of coral around our house and I used to be like ‘what the hell is that?!’ And recently I’ve noticed I’m loving coral too. In fact, I think it’s a new obsession and boy oh boy am I obsessed with those Anthropologie coral hooks. Yummy!
