Welcome, Baby A.

  On Baby A's birthday, the c-section surgery went as planned. I walked into the OR around 9:30am and was pushed out around 2 hours later. W was instructed to wait outside while the team was getting me prepared for anesthesia. He then got invited to come in and sat next to me while the team worked on getting Baby A out of me 😂. W was a good DJ and Baby A was born while Taylor Swift's Shake It Off was being played. So...did I feel any pain during this life-changing surgery? No, I didn't. I had a spinal block. I never felt any type of pain during the surgery. Getting the anesthesia injected - however - was the most uncomfortable part of the surgery. There was a lot of pressure. I felt my back being pulled or pushed, or something. It just felt very uncomfortable, not painful, but very uncomfortable. It was also hard to try leaning toward the source of that uncomfortableness. Learning to relax while being uncomfortable was a very hard thing to do. But it was necessary. Once it...

New knobs, new look

Last night, I did a mini makeover project on our accent table in the living room. It's something I got inspired by W's coworker's house. Our accent table was all white. Like, seriously, ALL WHITE. Like I mentioned in the previous post (end table makeover), I wanted to add some colors. After a few hours (yes, that's right) of surfing on Amazon and Etsy, I went with a set of 10 ceramic knobs. I didn't need that many, but it was cheaper to get a set rather than ordering one by one. In this post, I share how two knobs can change the overall look of an all-white accent table. I'm also positive I'll find use for other knobs!
What I love about this set is each knob is unique. All of them are different yet they all go well together.
The knobs, like Amazon reviewers had mentioned, had long screws. This means unless it's secured to a thick surface, the screw will show on the other side of the drawer/surface.
The picture above shows what I mean by a "long screw."
What I was surprised to find was even when secured, the knob can turn...like a fidget! It doesn't bother me. I was just surprised to find this added feature. 😂 
I picked these two knobs for the table because they both have shades of blue and red. In the living room (also the dining room/kitchen since it's all in one open floor plan), there's one red accent wall and there's one turquoise accent wall. The last owners of our house had painted the accent walls and we didn't make any change with the wall colors. 
The knobs were easy to install. It took me less than 5 minutes to take both original knobs out and replace with these two new, colorful, ceramic knobs.
If you're thinking about making some changes to an existing table, chest of drawers, or anything that you can add a knob to, consider replacing the old knobs with something of different color(s) and/or shapes! 😃
