Cabinet Knobs:  Beach Pebbles

My friend Jim, an avid outdoorsman, always chides people for taking beach rocks and shells as souveniers. "What if everyone who visited this place took something?" he nags, following quickly with "take nothing but your memories, leave nothing but your footprints."

Jim would be happy to know that no actual beach pebbles were harmed in the making of this door hardware.

These realistic looking cabinet knobs are made with 100 percent post-consumer recycled glass mounted on lead-free pewter. They're available in 10 nature-inspired colors such as "turtle" and "surf" and, of course, "sand." Metal finish options include satin pewter (shown), antique brass, antique copper and seven others.

All hardware from this small Seattle company is made to order by American craftsmen, so allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.
