Adding Finishing Touches to a Space

As a designer, I love adding finishing touches to a space.

Adding Finishing touches to a space.

I recently shared our home office makeover, and I am absolutely thrilled with how it is all coming together.  We just completed phase 1 of the remodel, and phase 2 will consist of some built-ins behind the desk (so there will be storage and a place for our desktop computer).

In design, the finishing touches really make the space. Our new door knobs from Nostalgic Warehouse are absolutely the icing on the cake for this room. If you want to see how easy the door knobs are to install, I share a video in an older blog post (and these door knobs can be installed in under five minutes)!

We have been adding Nostalgic Warehouse’s Studio Short Plate in Antique Brass with the Porcelain Knob in Black to the doors in our home. The contrast between the brass plate and dark porcelain knob is stunning.

Nostalgic Warehouse allows you to mix and match their plates and knobs.  I selected the Studio short plate.  The simple, yet elegant design coordinates well with virtually any architectural style and is available in seven exquisite finishes (and a variety of door knob choices to fit your particular look). 

Porcelain knobs are rare now, but the beauty and durability of porcelain knobs led to universal popularity in the 1800s and 1900s. The timeless, kiln-fired Black Porcelain Knob creates a sophisticated, yet classic look and is perfect for my home. 

The door knobs are the perfect addition to my home as I try to achieve that timeless look I love so much.

I love mixing the old and new, and that is what Nostalgic Warehouse allows me to do in my home. 

Their hardware provides me with the beauty and character of antique pieces but allows the luxury of modern functions.

How to Install New Door Knobs

See How to Install New Door Knobs in this tutorial.  It’s an easy way to update your home! I am absolutely IN LOVE with our new door knobs, and today I am going to show you how to install new door knobs with Nostalgic Warehouse. The first knob took me a little while to figure out, but after I got the hang of it, it really was easy (by the end I was able to install the knobs in under five minutes).  I am sharing a video tutorial for how to install a door knob (and I also have a written tutorial if you prefer that route).

But first, here’s the video:

 

REMOVE OLD DOOR KNOB

To begin, you will want to remove the old door knob.  This is fairly easy and will require removing some screws.  You may want to sand and paint the area where your old door knob was in case your new knob isn’t the exact same size.

INSTALL THE INTERIOR WORKING PARTS

Install the anti-r0tation block (make sure the arrow points towards the side of the door that opens and shuts), the latch tongue and the spindle.

ADD THE FACEPLATE

Use two screws to install the faceplate and be sure to use a hand-held screwdriver.

ADD THE DOOR KNOBS

Once the door knobs are installed (and make sure you use a hand-held screwdriver for all steps), then the last thing to do is to install the new strike plate.   On my doors, I used Nostalgic Warehouse’s Studio Short Plate in Antique Brass with the Porcelain Knob in Black. I love their elegant and timeless look – something I am always trying to achieve in my home decor style. These gorgeous door knobs are in my recent hallway makeover, and they will also be featured in my upcoming bathroom remodel. I never knew I could love door knobs so much! 🙂   Go create something!
