Hey remember 24 hours-ish ago when I told you about these here West Elm knobs and how sad they made me?
Well I was going to try and find a new piece of furniture for them or put them on eBay in about ten years and then I realized, "Hey, why don't I just give my castoffs to YOU?!" That's right, I'm giving them away just like Jesus would want!
Would you like some possibly disappointing knobs that may or may not have some cat hair on them? Well now's your chance, sunshine!
For the record, the knobs aren't ugly in any way. Just not what West Elm advertised and therefore made my soul sad. As you can see above they are somewhat transparent which might work to your advantage...?
They aren't quite as green/purple as this photo shows but my phone can only do so much. However, you can see the edge if that was the clencher for you.

They do look pretty on a light background. I bet you could paint the backs of them to put anywhere... just sayin...
Here's the original West Elm link if you need to view them how nature intended.
So I DO feel kinda like a douchebag for doing this but if someone else thinks they're perfect for them then it all worked out. Technically you could win them (I bet three people will enter so you have a good chance) and then turn around and sell them on eBay and that would be totally fine. Godspeed, my friend.
If you're interested just leave a comment below (please include your email or Twitter handle so I can contact you) by, uh, June 1 and then I'll draw a winner. Maybe I should say recipient?
I'll make sure to put a fun note in for you so if you want to win A REALLY COOL HANDWRITTEN NOTE STRAIGHT FROM THE MODSAUCE RANCH enter to win! As a bonus I'll send you two agate knobs absolutely free!
If you do use them I'd love to see a picture later! Make my meh your squee!
I was going to ask what you were doing up at 4am but then I saw that you posted at 10:43 so OK, I am the only nut up at this hour. Knobs are nice - but I hate it when something you get excited about does not meet your expectations so I am sorry you were disappointed. So anyway, they are nice knobs but I do not need knobs, however - they look like they would make a nice pendant, or an accent on a bag (I crochet, which is what I was doing at 4am) so consider me entered - patlcooper@att.net
ReplyDeleteYeah I usually publish at night then let technology send it out at some later point so you all can read it first thing in the morning... or at 4AM if you're up crocheting. Also, great ideas for reusing these bad boys!
DeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteI'm only posting because your last sentence made me think "won't you please be my meh squeeze" which I thought was from the Simpsons but apparently isn't and I needed to share my confusion with strangers. But if this comment wins the castoffs, sure, send them over.
ReplyDeleteShared confusion is the best kind. Also, I can't wait to send out a Valentine's Day card with "won't you please be my meh squeeze" next year!
DeleteI want! Hopefully they'll be the right fit in our bathroom. We've been knob-less for 5 years now. llummus15@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'll take 'em! Been meaning to re-do an entry table for years; this might just be the inspiration I need...sbrennan@qrlaw.com
ReplyDeletep.s. That's a "Q" in my email, not a "G".Everyone messes that up.
I want them in my bathroom, puh-lease.
ReplyDeleteMe!!!! I will use piano wire and hang them from my nipples.
ReplyDeleteCast off knobs are my favorite kind.

Power to the pretty knobs! Me too! Me too!
ReplyDeleteNot going to lie, I kind of just want to stick these under our blacklight to see if they fluoresce. SCIENCE, The More You Know, etc.
ReplyDeleteI want them because I believe my stinky ol' sis would love them in her new bathroom that isn't even built yet. Just a sad, empty room with studs. Sadly, the wood kind. Please rig this giveaway. I want the handwritten letter, too, especially if you have one of your Fab Sauce manicures going when you write it.
ReplyDeleteOh I think they're destined to replace a dimmer switch, but more likely my buffet's door pulls. @friction
ReplyDeleteok. I just love anything from nature in my home and if you add that to my secret hardware fetish ... I so want the knobs....... but I think you should give them to AlexandraFunFit b/c she is clever and witty like you. ChasePage is a close second, however I am really worried about her nipples.
