So I may very well have found the ZENITH of transom pulls by which all others are measured. Yes, home depot does carry a transom handle, but they are stupid cheap looking and hollow...really really rinky dink quality. BUT...take a look at these GEMS I have found after several days of online searching. Try not to totally freak out. http://www.michelniques.com/product-details.asp?pid=4255 1. They are SOLID CAST IRON 2. The price is for a package of 6 3. They are 6 inches long, each pkg weighs 10 lbs! 4. The "rust" finish can easily be sanded off to expose a dull natural gray cast iron color which can then be sealed. 5. Each is stamped with a vintage "1888" date making them that much more vintage and industrial looking. I just ordered 10 sets for a total of 60 and I cant wait to install them!!!! Look!

Eh, props for creativity and such but prob not my cup of tea. I would become bored with all of them very quickly. Then again this is coming from a guy who found an old piece of rusted and bent up welded wire mesh at the junk yard and re-purposed it as a "frame background" so to speak on which a vintage 1930's British "Mind The Sheep" cautionary sheep crossing rural road sign has been attached and hung as a picture on my wall. Perfect textural compliment to the sign. Anyway stuff like that is golden in my book. My opinion of course.

Moreover... the sofa from Perse shown above looks no different than what Ikea offers for a few hundred dollars. Not in the least bit impressed with anything about that sofa. If your able to spend $6,000 or more on a good sofa you really cannot go wrong with anything from Herman Millers Eames collection. Ray and Charles Eames are pretty much the originators of mid century modern. Timeless. James Perse Furniture \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	2/18/10 11:28 PM
Melissa82 I somewhat agree with you on the designer hype as most "designer" goods are simply a licensed name or logo stamped onto average looking mass made in china goods. Being that a have a degree in Apparel Manufacturing designer clothing is commonplace in my closet but only the stuff worth spending big dough for. Designer furniture is a new realm for me and to be honest, thus far the only examples I have come across that I am of the opinion that in exchange for high price points, you do get quality and taste...Ralph Lauren Home. OMG who else out there makes a modern chic club chair out of 100% CARBON FIBER!! As well as a table, bed, and tableware. Sure the chair alone is $35,000 but that aside, if money were no object...

Awesome solution for your pot rack! Since discovering this site my entire overview as to all things DIY has taken a 180 turn. Your apartment is yet another to derive inspiration for new projects from. Hey so I am new to this site and wondering how exactly does one post a topic from which they wish feedback from other members? Or is that reserved only for admin and common members only able to comment and not open new threads?
