I'm Gillian, a Scotland based home & lifestyle blogger. Follow along as I navigate this new journey sharing my life from home.
Today I’ve teamed up with Nostalgic Warehouse and updated our interior doors with vintage-inspired crystal doorknobs.
{Nostalgic Warehouse provided product for this post. All opinions are my own. See full disclosure, here.}
Our new house has a lot of interior doors. Nineteen to be exact! And every single door had these really ugly worn out builder basic brass doorknobs. Not my favorite! In our last house, we styled our rooms with pops of black and one of the project updates I did was replace all the door hardware to matte black. With this house, we’ve let the house guide us style-wise and are taking a more muted color palette with white and neutral walls with gray, green, and pink as accents. In addition, we have added touches of antique brass in the lighting and throughout the decor. It’s a very elegant and classic cottage style.
My desire was to coordinate the doorknobs with our style for a fresh new look. Nostalgic Warehouse offers an amazing selection of vintage-inspired hardware and knobs for all styles. When delving into their website, I was so impressed with the variety and the ability you have to mix and match plates with knobs. All combinations can be previewed on their website to ensure you like the look.
There were so many gorgeous choices, but I really was smitten with the look of the crystal knobs. They reminded me of grandmas house with that perfect vintage style and the twinkle of sparkle when the light hits them. Paired with a brass antique cottage style plate and they are absolute perfection!
Crystal Doorknobs for a Cottage Style Update
Aren’t they gorgeous? This is the Cottage Short Plate with Crystal Knob.
This is our powder room. I’ll share more in the future about my growing vintage Paint by Numbers collection. ????
For now, let’s just admire these beauties. Sigh! It’s like icing on a cake!
Replacing doorknobs is an easy update and a DIY project anyone can tackle. Each knob from Nostalgic Warehouse came packaged in its own box with very thorough instructions. The only tool you need is a Philips head screwdriver!
Take a look around your home. The little details give you an opportunity to personalize your space, add character, and bring in the charm.

Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

Hi, Gwen. We did not because the brass hinges we already had worked great with the new knobs.
