Life By The Pool. . .it's just BETTER!: An Inexpensive Way to Add Style to Your Gas Starter For Your Fireplace

Now that was a mouthful. :) Okay, so I didn't know what to title this post. I tried googling to get the proper name and couldn't find anything on it so I asked the hubs. He looked at me with a puzzled face and said "a gas starter for the fireplace". So that is what we are going to call it for now.

If you have a fireplace, you probably have a fire starter box located near your fireplace. Ours had a plain Jane white knob. I'm not sure if it was ceramic or wooden. I never thought much of it until I went to a friend's house (Kim's) and saw hers. She had replaced the original plain knob with a beautiful knob from Hobby Lobby. OMG!!! I loved it! I immediately asked if she would mind if I copied her and of course she said no.

So off I was to Hobby Lobby to find a beautiful knob for our fire starter. Lucky for me Hobby Lobby had their knobs/handles on sale so I got mine for $5.00. I am always looking for ways to add a little bling to my life. :)

You can imagine the hubs reaction when I told him I wanted to change out the knob. He couldn't see what was wrong with the one we had ~~of course!~~ Lucky for me he ~~usually~~ goes along with most of my ideas so I replaced the knob. And guess what? The screw was too long! So much for a quick change out.

So the hubs cut off enough of the screw for the door to close. He always comes to my rescue. :)

I love the way it looks. I think it looks like a framed piece instead of a fire starter box without any style.

Now I have wanted to do this post for a long time. Like maybe a year? Can you believe I finally write it and Hobby Lobby has their knobs on sale? Sounds like kismet to me. Here are a few samples of what they have. The prices range from $2.00 on up. That's right...I said $2.00!!!
