What is The Double Knob? Not a hot new dance craze, I’m afraid. The Double Knob is something you should avoid. Do you know what I’m talking about? Like when it’s impossible to find new drawer pulls that line up with the old holes in your older item of furniture? So you give up and just stick two knobs in the two holes instead? Don’t do The Double Knob!
Denise at A Girl And A Brush wouldn’t dream of such a thing. She decided to drill new holes in the center of the old holes on her dresser’s drawers and added a single knob instead. Ahhh. So lovely. And cheaper too!

The double knob is my furniture re-do pet peeve! It’s not that hard to fill in holes and drill a new ones! Ugh, it seriously bothers me! OK, end of rant =)

February 13, 2013 at 2:45 AMDid not know there was a dreaded double knob. Thanks for letting us know!
Also, just need to say I found your blog somewhere (probably through pinterest because I am a junkie) and added you to my Google Reader. So I read the last 10 posts you did and laughed hysterically. You are amazingly funny!
