I've been meaning to write this post for ages now, but I could never come up with a clever post title about knobs/drawer pulls that didn't sound vaguely suggestive. Not that I have a problem with vaguely suggestive titles, but it seemed a little out of place for this particular subject matter.
As I've mentioned before, we chose IKEA's Hemnes three drawer chest in white, to use for storage and as a changing table. I've heard people worry about the height of the dresser being a bit too tall for a changing table (it's 38 1/4") - I'm 5'3" and so far it seems okay ... not that I have any practical experience yet, but it doesn't feel like it's an awkward height.
I knew I wanted to change the drawer pulls/knobs - I found these hand painted ones on etsy that are just darling, they are painted to match the Land of Nod "All Creatures Great and Small" crib bedding. I love that bedding - I actually have the crib sheets and changing pad cover as "spares," but I knew I didn't want to buy a full bedding set, so this was a great way to incorporate the design into the nursery:
"Set of 8 Hand Painted Children's Drawer Pulls/Nail Covers-Land of Nod All Creatures Great and Small Style," from etsy seller MonkeyBabyBoutique}
Aren't they cute?! She does drawer pulls to match other popular baby bedding styles, including from Pottery Barn. Definitely check it out!
Those drawer pulls are ADORABLE!!!

I like the title!
And I agree...those drawer pulls just "make" the dresser. They're so cute. That takes some skill to paint that well on such a small surfice area.

Hi - Your nursery is adorable! You have so many cute things that pull it together. I was curious where you found the great dog painting that you have over the changing table.

Hi Dallas! The dog painting was a gift, and it's from Chasing Fireflies: http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/woof-wall-art/productinfo/26293/
