CHEZ PEACHY EXCLUSIVE: TOP KNOBS UNVEILS NEW LINE OF CRYSTAL KNOBS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW. Jewel-toned crystal knobs bedazzle cabinets and drawers

Clear Octagon

My family recently moved. Our new home has great bones. I am sure you can read between the lines! We loved everything, except for the fact that it was gorgeous home -- in 1986. Welcome to 2011 and we were in dire need of some updating of all of our bathrooms. Specifically all the hardware looks, well, dated. Enter my being introduced to Top Knobs USA. If you don't already know about them they are a fabulous company with top quality, beautiful knobs. Truly the easiest way to transform a space. I swear by changing out the hardware we took off 26 years in 2 minutes! Their clear crystal octagon shaped pulls are beyond beautiful. The way they catch the light is an easy way to add some instant bling to your cabinetry. Not only can you see the quality, but you can feel it. This isn't some discount store knob. I had gone to another store (who shall remain nameless) to compare...let's just say it wasn't even worth the time. I am now a huge fan of Top Knobs USA.

Pink Crystal

As the mother of two girls, I live in a world of pink, purple and sparkles. This doesn't mean, however, that I want every tacky decorators interpretation of this in my home. Nor do I want some horrible character's face strewn across my home. When I decided to "redo" their bathroom I was happy to find Top Knobs USA. Their products, well constructed, durable and beautiful fit the bill for what my husband and I wanted, but their variety allowed my daughter's dreams to be fulfilled with pink sparkle! Their pink crystal knob with a polished chrome base is "SOOOO PRETTY" (to quote my oldest)! I love that there is no long wait time getting the product as well. They actually ship most of their own products. I am the type of person that once I decide on an option, I like to get it done. Since Top Knobs USA inspects each piece before it leaves their warehouse you don't have to worry about getting damaged goods (which we all know happens with many other providers).

Bit Pull

My husbands office has beautiful custom cabinetry. But I always pestered him for the hideous hardware. He assured me it never bothered him. Since said office is in our home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I researched various options and came across Top Knobs USA's Bit Pull in Polished Nickel. These pulls are a great addition to this space. They are masculine without being over the top. The weight of the knobs let's you know this is good, durable quality. The classic, yet contemporary style assures me this knobs will be an investment that will stand the test of time. I loved how easy it was to review all their products online. It really made it easy to check them out. Their selection is so strong on quality options that I felt that no matter what I chose, I was going to have a great product. In the end, I now am thinking that the knobs on the cabinets in our family room (that I got at a big box store) look dinky...hmm, think I may need to check out my new favorite decorating site!

With three distinct jewel tones to choose from, homeowners and designers can select the ideal crystal knob to create a particular look that would complement or enhance the kitchen, bathroom or other areas around the home. “Our crystal collection will add sparkle and enchantment to cabinet doors or drawers creating eye-catching interest in any atmosphere,” says David Tyler, VP of Marketing for Top Knobs. “The design options for crystal knobs are ever versatile. They are perfect in a Victorian or Colonial home, recreating the elegance of days gone by. And with their brushed sleek nickel finish, our crystal knobs also coordinate well with a more modern design concept,” he adds.

These prismatic knobs from Top Knobs offer illuminative qualities that reflect and highlight the colors in a room, an element desirable to any designer.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
