Don’t you love it when you find something you know you need for a project
AND
you find it on clearance?
AND
you find it on clearance?
As you know we have been working on several projects out in the little cottage
and I just shared a peek at the new vintage inspired kitchen yesterday.
I have a tendency to look for clearance no matter what store I am shopping at.
I don’t usually follow the in the moment trends so I can pick up pieces that I like when they are no longer
as ‘hot’ as they were a few months ago or find stuff that I just plain like at an awesome price.
So I have been picking up bits and pieces here and there for the little cottage over the past few months
(ahem... okay years maybe)
knowing that I would use them at some point.

Here’s something we picked up not long ago.
While dreaming my way through the aisles at Lowes~ we found a box of these:

Bin pulls.
They are awesome for so many projects.
Drawers, dressers, bins, etc.
Drawers, dressers, bins, etc.
but the price was even better.
Yep-you read it right. Amazing!
I wasn’t loving the gold finish personally but I knew that was an easy fix and so they went in my cart.
A little Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint later…
(already had it but it costs around $6 – $7 so you can factor that in if you would like to)
and they were perfectly vintage looking
and the perfect touch for the drawers in the little cottage kitchen.
Seriously.
6 bin pulls for .36 cents.
Loving it.

Those are exactly the ones I've been looking everywhere for! I haven't even seen them in the brass color, but will definitely look and paint them. Do you mind posting where you found these?

Courtney, your guest house kitchen is the sweetest thing and those drawer pulls are fabulous and for 6 cents each? I think I would have bought a ton of them just because they were such a good deal! I'm like you – if there's a clearance aisle, I'm going to check it out! You never know what you might find! Thanks for sharing! xoxo, Leena

What a bargain and they look so smart. I went to see the rest of the makeover and love it. It would be so exciting to have an extra little cottage to play with. :)xx
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
I love it, Courtney! What a great score on those bin pulls! We actually looked at those months ago to replace a bin pull on our PB wine cabinet. It has lead in it! We took it off the drawer and have nothing on it right now. The Lowe's pulls were too small, so I'm still looking for mine. Nice way to update them with the ORB!

You found the best deal of the century…
And you have the best roses, "ALWAYS"…

Was the paint hard to work with? The pulls look great!
Unknown says
Cool! Totally! I'd have snapped those up too! They look great there:)
Erin says
If I didn't love you so, I might be really upset at that deal. So instead I will be uber happy(and envious ;))!
thistlewoodfarm says
I almost fell out of my chair. .06????? Really. I paid more for a can of spray paints than all the pulls in your kitchen 🙂
Have a wonderful day rock star!

We used that oil rubbed bronze spray for items in our bathroom remodel…it is wonderful! Best thing ever! We used on hinges, toilet paper holder, and the handles on the drawers of our vanity. Best $$ spent to save$$$$$!
Shenita @ Embellishments by SLR says
Awesome deal, Courtney! Oil Rubbed Bronze is my go-to paint for all things metal and brassy around here, too. Way to go!
Lois Arnold says
What a bargain and the drawer pulls look great! Some of the oil rubbed bronze will be going in my basket soon! Love the look!

I don't follow trends either…Love what you did with this!
Amy Chalmers says
oh Courtney, this is so funny cuz I was just at Lowes 2 days ago looking for the same thing…I did find a vintage looking one that looks a lot like the one you painted! Its gonna go on an antique butcher block table. But I never thought of spraying one to get the look i wanted. good thinking!
A New England Life says
Since we are on such a limited budget lately I'm thinking this might work on the existing bin pulls and knobs we have. What a great idea!
Scribbler says
Wow! 6 cents each??!!
