Happiness is Glass Knobs

Another trip to Portland. This time we visited Rejuvenation, purchasing lighting, cabinet knobs, and drawer pulls. All the fixtures we got are retro style new products. Rejuvenation specializes in home parts, old and imitation old. Mid-century, Arts and Crafts, Victorian, they have it all.

The knobs and pulls are emerald green glass. You remember those six-sided glass cupboard knobs? If you do you're at least my age. We thought they would complement the white painted maple cabinets.

One of the light fixtures is called Chase. Hand painted glass cover, kiwi on white. The Cove is a cool looking metal shade to go over the sink. It's a new model so they have to manufacture one for us. It should be here in two weeks. We still need to decide on under cabinet lighting. We're leaning towards xenon. They are cooler and more energy efficient than halogen. Not as energy 'green' as fluorescent, but we've heard from several people that fluorescent light of any color makes granite look bad.
