It re-corks an open wine bottle, or demijohn in this case...
It keeps my collection of vintage bar ware company. I found a short video from HGTV with pretty simple instructions HERE.
Here are six more clever ways to use vintage door knobs found via Pinterest:
#2 - This adorable adaptation is from Angie at Knick of Time's Etsy shop. Sorry, it is long gone, but she may have more!
It could hold photos, recipe cards, or keepsake ephemera.
#3 - Check out this pretty yet functional use from Urban Outfitters! This one may not be vintage...but it's a jumping off point.
I wonder if they make hardware for retro-fitting vintage knobs...
#4 - A vintage door knob turnes an old egg basket into an instant cloche - from Margo at robojunker.com!
Note to self: find a nice rusty egg basket to go with your old door knob.
#5 - The next one takes the traditional doorknob function and turns it on its side. Literally.
It was once listed at Room 363, but is not there anymore. Still, you could recreate this...or I could...SOMEONE should!
#6 - I was gonna say this one was for the birds, but that was way too corny...way, way, way...sorry. :) This one is from
Reclaimed Trends on Etsy. Sorry again...long gone, but they do custom orders if you're interested.
And last but not least - this one is SO charming!
# 7 is from Shannon AKA Junkflirt- A Southern Belle with Northern Roots. Do you want to make one, too? Great! She has a tutorial! This one is going on my "to-do" list. I think I might be able to keep flowers like this alive! :)
Word for the Day:
“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

What clever uses for old door knobs! So many choices!
Lots of fun ideas...LOVE old knobs :)
Great collection of ideas for doorknobs!
Hi Revi! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment today. :)
I love all the doorknob ideas. My husband and I want to find some old glass doorknobs for his office doors. They just add so much. I've seen collections of them just in a bowl and it looks great. My sister-in-law and I went to Canton yesterday. I found several things that were on my list but not knobs. Next time.
What fun ideas! Love the last one :)

Hey there sweet friend! I'm so glad you love your knob. What great ideas you've shown us. I think we might all do well with doorknob floral arrangements!
xo, T.
Great ideas here. Makes me wish I had some old door knobs. . . I'll be watching for some.
I think my favorite one is the one that's a card/photo holder:)
Extraordinary, I love everything here! As always, you have a wonderful idea Revi. Thanks for sharing these blogs, I will surely visit them all. I love the photo holder by the way, Classy!
