A Much Needed Door Knob

The art room has been "done" for MONTHS now, but like many things with this house (as I've expressed before) the finishing touches haven't been completed yet.

I've been art-ing away for months without a door knob. I don't really care, but it is something that has to be completed in order for us to check the room off the list

The original knobs in the house are glass, and I eventually want to replace all the ones that aren't glass with ones that are, but, well, they're a tad expensive so I've been a bit of a procrastinator. 1 point for procrastinating --> our friend Luke gifted us a great Baldwin door knob from his house! (he likes brushed knickel, his girlfriend likes oil-rubbed bronze and he has apparently won that battle).

Over a month ago Chris installed the door knob

But after installing the new one we were left with a gap that needed to be filled. So out came the bondo


After a quick sanding and some more minimal patching, I whipped out the primer and ultra pure white and fixed that baby up


Now we've got a great door knob to complete my great art room (at least I think it's great). You'll just have to wait another 2 weeks for a "Before and After" (I think my first one actually, pretty pathetic) because there are art projects ALL OVER THE PLACE in preparation for Renegade and I thing "Before and After" pictures are supposed to look nice and put together...
