I want to keep highlighting amazing makers in the US, and I feel like my Etsy links can get caught in the more mainstream shuffle. So starting a series to focus on the greatest stuff we have found. 

from Violet Vale Designs

aVintageParcel (Minnesota) These are made from Hamilton printing press drawers, and they look so cool. Also check out Pebbles and Sticks (Idaho) for vintage cabinet pulls.


DaRosa (Canada) makes all sorts of knobs, mostly out of recycled items like legos or these hot wheels pulls. I am obsessed. Not only are they eco-friendly because they re-use items for a new purpose, they would also be perfectly genius in a kid's room. They also have insects, birds, all sorts of cool pulls. Check them out.


Hollow Creek Welding (Texas) makes pulls and knobs that are beautiful but also really tough looking. These square ones might be perfect if you have a rustic but modern style.

Forge Hardware Studio (Florida) is the perfect stop if you are looking for streamlined and modern hardware. Everything looks really clean, and they have a bunch of different materials. Hook and Knob (Florida) has modern knob as well, with a more feminine aesthetic.


Lakehouse Treasury (Ohio) sells these beautiful stone cabinet knobs. I just think these are so gorgeous, and would look great anywhere that is near the water. I also think the smoothness and neutral colors lend themselves to more sophisticated and natural designs.
