The $45 kitchen hutch transformation is finally in process. Wahoo!
After months of scouring Craigslist and local thrift shops I was super excited to find a piece that would fit both my space and my meager budget. Go {here} to see the diamond in the rough.
But after days of prepping and painting I needed a break.
A break from dripping paint and these two “helpers”.
Seriously.
Agreeing to let these to “help” me paint was about to send me in search of a shot glass.
So the next morning I dropped all their little happy selves off at school and headed to my happy place: Hobby Lobby. I needed new knobs to replace the very dated wooden knobs that came on the hutch originally.
Have you been on Hobby Lobby’s hardware aisle lately? It is full of every type and size of knob you can imagine. Each piece is reasonably priced and frequently goes on sale for 40% – 50% off!
I’m a colorful kind of girl so I quickly passed over the white knobs.
The crystal pieces really are pretty but way too fancy for my kitchen.
The first piece I really loved tied in all the colors of my newly updated kitchen. It’s the one on the left but after I stared at it for a few minutes I thought the pattern might be a tad too busy.
I spied these pretty blue ones next. The kitchen just got a coat of soft blue paint and these knobs would be a great match {especially the second one}. But it might be too matchy-matchy. Plus these were really big. Too big for my little kitchen hutch.
Then I found it! See the small green ceramic one {second from left}? The green would go with the curtain fabric but it would introduce a little different color from all the blue.
Here’s a sneak peek of the curtain fabrics! I love how the green knobs picks up the same color in the print. I can’t wait to get started on that project! Those curtains are going to be FABulous! 
$2.99 plus 50% off?! Sold! Six knobs costs me less than $10!
The Kitchen Hutch is almost finished. I will share the complete project with you next week!
Your comments totally make my day! They give me huge motivation to keep creating and having fun with my 3 Little Greenwoods!
I link up with these fun parties!

Wow, that is a great deal!! I was surprised to see them as low as 2.99 at Hobby Lobby!! I LOVE that place, there’s one within walking distance from me and I go there every week. They have great fabric, too!! 🙂 Good luck with your cabinet….I know it’s going to be beautiful when you’re finished with it!!
Woot! I was thinking about what you were going to do with your cabinet the other day! I can’t wait to see the finished project!
Ashley, looks like it’s coming along! You picked out the perfect knobs! They resemble antique jadeite… You are a better woman than I am…letting small children help you with a paint project – Seriously?? Haha…if i lived closer, we could take each other out for shots…now that my 3 kiddos are out of school and my giant teenage sons are eating me out of house and home and using my car every moment, I’m ready for summer to be over, lol! Cannot wait to see the finished hutch 🙂
Hey friend!
I’m so excited you like the kitchen hutch knobs! I’ve got to plan on painting projects more carefully (like when school starts back in August ~ it’s gonna be a LONG summer).
Those knobs are too cute! I love the creamy color you painted the hutch, too.
And I’m impressed that you made it through the experience with your “helpers.” You are one brave momma!
Can’t wait to see the final product, Ashley!
Oh my goodness, My little helpers almost did me in! They love doing anything crafty with me!
You scored, lady! What an awesome find 🙂
Woot Woot! I love Hobby Lobby, especially when they have a great sale!
Hobby Lobby is my happy place too. I love just walking the aisles for craft inspiration. And sometime I have the hardest time choosing in the knob aisle. Thanks for linking up to the Be. YOU. tiful link party. Hugs 🙂
Love the knobs you chose! I have definitely put in my time in the hobby lobby knob aisle. Thanks for linking up with us at The Makers!
I was amazed by the choices of knobs Hobby Lobby had! It was so fun to be able to actually see and feel them and not have to order them from the internet.
Thank you for hosting your fun party!

I honestly had no idea that Hobby Lobby had a knob collection like this! I’m thinking it’s becoming my new favorite store!
Thanks again for joining the Link Up this week!
I had no idea Hobby Lobby had any of these either! I just knew I was going to have to get online to order some. Plus they were so inexpensive! Score!

I have always wanted to go to Hobby Lobby, I wish we had one here! Thanks for linking up to Tips and Tricks, hope to see you again next week!
Hobby Lobby is a great place to get lost in when you have a little time about from the kiddos. But if I have to take them with me… that’s another story!

What a fun project, love the hardware you picked. I recently went to Hobby Lobby for the first time and I can’t wait to go back!
Hey Carolyn! I’m so excited you like the knobs I choose for my kitchen hutch. I still can’t get over how many choices they have to choose from. Love the swim top you shared on your blog!

I love Hobby Lobby – especially at Christmas time. I can get lost in that store for hours!
I love the hutch you are renovating and can’t wait to see it when you are finished. The knobs are beautiful. I didn’t know Hobby Lobby had such a great assortment… guess I need to get back over there. 🙂
Hobby Lobby at Christmas is FABulous, isn’t it?! But it always tickles me when they begin to put stuff out in July!
LOVE! How terrible is it that I didn’t even know they sold knobs? 🙁
I didn’t know Hobby Lobby sold knobs either! It was a wonderful surprise to have all that selection at wonderful prices!
What great little knobs! I love the pick, and it goes so well with your curtain fabric! I can’t wait to see more. 🙂 Thanks for linking up at Creative Spark!
Hey Kristy! I can’t wait to share with everyone what I did with the curtain fabric! The project turned out so great!
Thanks for the great party!

I love their knobs there, love them when they are on sale too! Or I just bring the whole family and everyone gets some cash and a coupon, lol. I know now what city you shop in, lol.
Thanks for sharing on Worthwhile Wednesdays!
