Old World Details

I'm posting on the run.  I couldn't wait to show you these beautiful door knobs, made at a time when hand-crafted details and old world workmanship was the norm.  I love these doorknobs.  If you read my earlier post, Building Character, I want to start replacing the sad "builder's special" non-details.  That's what I call all of the cheap fixtures used in our home.  Love the neighborhood, dislike the finishes!  So when I saw these yesterday, I fell in love.  Someone poured their heart into these, you can just tell.  And I would love to have these on our doors.

I have many more pictures of this type of wonderful detail work to share soon!!  If you have lovely doorknobs in your home, please email me.  I would love to post them with the ones I saw yesterday.
