Do you all remember my clients I introduced you to in mid-July, we've been hard at work
trying to accomplish everything by our deadline this coming weekend.
I should have given you a sneak peek before now, they've been weekend warriors
cranking out awesome diys as fast as I can pin them!
Our inspiration was this staircase with those incredible glass ball finials.
We had the hardest time trying to find something that would work,
right size, didn't have to be shipped from the UK, not crazy expensive, something
that worked with the existing newel post, etc.
I happened to be checking one of my Pinterest boards,
and look what I had pinned...a year ago!
Light bulb!
Exactly what we'd been searching for, who knew they'd be finials for drapery hardware. :)
Restoration Hardware
Set of 2 - Large
It gets better...she found two of the five we needed at our Restoration Hardware Outlet
for a steal! :)
BEFORE AFTER
They decided to leave this diy to a professional, and had them installed by a contractor.
After testing the stability of epoxy on a sample board, he cut off the existing finials and drilled
a hole to accommodate the screw on the end of the finial and used epoxy to secure it.
(The screw on the end of the finial was a metric size that wasn't readily available, this was
the best alternative they came up with.)
If you want a peek at some other elements we've included check out my

Can't wait to share the reveal with you, or maybe some teaser diys first. :)
