Fun In The Kitchen

Fun Knobs From Notting Hill Hardware

Fun In The Kitchen takes its cue from nursery rhyme: a baker, a butcher, and a candlestick maker appear as pewter figurine knobs, a direct nod to "rub-a-dub-dub." A matching Rub-A-Dub pull, flatware and glassware pulls, and two figurine magnets round out a line meant for kitchens after personality rather than restraint.

What makes these fun kitchen cabinet knobs different

Most pieces in the Notting Hill catalog stick to a flat design stamped onto a round or square disc. This collection breaks from that: the baker, butcher, and candlestick maker are figurine knobs, meaning the pewter stands up as a small character instead of pressing flush to the door surface. Vertical Cups and Vertical Glasses pulls do similar work for drawers, rendering the object itself as the handle instead of an abstract bar.

Custom engraving and matching pieces

A plain pull cast in that same pewter finish is available with custom engraving, useful for initials, a house name, or anything else that doesn't fit the figurine theme. The Baker and Candlestick Maker also come as small pewter magnets, which lets a household extend the theme to a fridge or a message board without adding more hardware to the cabinets themselves.

Where a playful line like this fits

This collection fits kitchens where the owner wants guests to notice the hardware: a farmhouse kitchen, a kids' baking station, or a cottage that leans whimsical rather than restrained. It reads as busier than most cabinet hardware, so mixing it sparingly with plainer knobs in other parts of the room tends to read as more deliberate than covering every door in figurines.

Building a set around the nursery rhyme

Buyers who want the full "rub-a-dub-dub" reference typically order the Baker, Butcher, and Candlestick Maker as a trio across three neighboring cabinet doors, sometimes an island run, so the rhyme reads as a matched trio instead of one random figure standing alone. Filling in drawers below with the flatware, cups, or glasses pulls keeps the theme going without repeating a figurine knob on every surface.
