Remember Aunt Clara on the TV show " Bewitched"?

 
 
Remember the old TV show Bewitched? 
 Samantha had an aunt who stole doorknobs
 and carried them around with her in her purse.
Well, Mike and I don't pocket doorknobs but
over the years we have collected quite a
few different types of old doorknobs. 
In this old house
we have finally been able
 to use most of them. 
Mike spent the day changing out
the old ones with...... old ones
 
 
Here's a pretty crystal doorknob with an
old Art Deco key plate.
 
 
We had LOTS of black porcelain knobs,
so Mike ordered new silver rosettes and
key locks.
 
 
Black looks good with the old
black and white kitchen floor.
 
 
This is the bathroom knob with old
key.  You have to remember to turn
the lock or you might have
 unexpected
visitors.
 
 
A little door knob accessorizing.
 
 
We have this phone niche in the hallway.  While we
were in Seattle over Christmas we found
this old 1920's phone.  Similar to one
that probably used to inhabit the space many
years ago.
 
Keep warm!!

  1. Hi Valerie. Hope your having a nice weekend.
    Love your door knobs. It's makes your house very personal. I have wanted a telephone like yours for ages, but whenever I find one there's always something else to pay. Maybe I should put it on my next Xmas List.
