Two Faced









You know that feeling you get when something fits just right?  In my family, there's an expression for something that is a perfect fit:  "pic-pac."  It seems I may have shared this before, but quoting from my paternal family's "Glossary of Terms," pic-pac is an adjective used to describe "an object crafted to fit pleasingly into one's hand or pocket an who's components, if they exist, engage snugly with a crisp 'click.'" This calls to mind the image of a swiss army knife.

Well I faced a problem with this piece when not one, but two knob styles gave me that pic-pac feeling.  Both fit into my design pleasingly, and with new drawer slides installed, there's even a satisfying "click" when using the drawers.  I couldn't decide between the edgy red, or the soft pink.  So I decided to let the buyer choose.  What's your vote?

I also want to add a shout-out to my son who helped with the magazine trees.  I did this shoot before Christmas and loved having these trees, complete with stain and wax cans for trunks.

Available for purchase

  1. what a great idea! I often find myself with not enough pulls to do a whole piece...I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" your inspiration some day!

  2. Haha "Tootsie". Wish I could claim I thought of that, but this piece is actually sporting two different knobs to model for the potential buyer...the buyer gets to choose which ones he/she prefers. Then I'll match them all up, 'cause in this case I do have enough (though I've totally been there where I don't have enough of a specific knob that I want to use).
