Spotted on the Finnish home design site Lily: a DIY project to enliven a child’s dresser. Paint the knobs in a range of complementary hues, or go with a candy-colored variety-pack mix.

Nice.
Okay, this is different. I like the idea--subtle and refreshing.
not a bad idea
Thanks.
Regarding my post yesterday (6:32AM PDT on Aug 9, 2012) I was having trouble with a slow Care2 and of course plywood is wrong, it should be balsa wood (very light in weight).
Kathleen K. is quite right that craft paints are cheaper and you can buy a selection pack of usually 3 or 4 tiny pots, so there's no waste. :)
Interesting.
Thanx.
This isn't only for kids rooms ... I have 6 slightly-different chests-of-drawers - 2 bedside tables +1 chest of drawers in each of the main and guest bedrooms. I painted each chest of drawers basic ivory (to match the beds), and each knob is a slightly-different shade of colour that matchs the general colour-scheme in each of the rooms. The overall effect marries each bedroom set and the differences are no longer noticeable. They look great!
Fun *and* easy. Thanks.
