Where would we be without numbers? How would you know what button to press on an elevator? Or how many servings are in a pint of ice cream? What would you say to dial in case of an emergency? Bottom right button, top left button, top left button? Don’t be crazy.
No, numbers are our hardworking friends. You should put them on your furniture to say thank you.
Here’s one fine example from Terry at The Curator’s Collection.
Before, a dated desk. Plain and unattractive. But after a fresh coat of paint and a set of numbers on the drawers, WATCH OUT. This desk is cute and it knows it.
Larissa could have done a number of different things to her old dresser … but after crunching the numbers … she figured the number one option was …
Numbers! Did you see that coming? Say no.
Such a great change! Not only are the numbers a great touch, but I’m loving how the paint color picks up the same tones as the new metal handles. It makes for a very cohesive, intentional look. Nicely done Larissa.
See more on her blog Prodigal Pieces.

July 28, 2016 at 7:19 PMYou’re just doing a number on us! You think you can divide us all with your post, eh? How many times will this happen? Multiple, I bet. Then again, you can add other blogs to your sum of parts. Plus, I think those drawers, fractionally speaking, are the total!
