More Than Design: Top Knobs Partners with Sunshine on a Ranney Day to Transform Accessible Spaces for Children

September 19, 2025

For over three years, Top Knobs has proudly partnered with Sunshine on a Ranney Day – a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming homes for children with special needs. Together, they have completed countless life changing projects, creating accessible bathrooms, personalized bedrooms and therapy rooms tailored to support the unique needs of each child and their family.

One of the most recent projects Top Knobs completed with Sunshine on a Ranney Day was for a 20-year-old named Dewone. Shortly after he was born, Dewone’s life shifted dramatically after contracting bacterial meningitis and suffering severe symptoms. This life-altering event left Dewone non-verbal, living with epilepsy and requiring full-time care. 

Dewone is in need of constant support and personal care, all of which is lovingly provided by his single mother, Jade. A major challenge they faced was the lack of an accessible bathroom, which made basic daily routines extremely difficult. To help ease this burden, the Sunshine on a Ranney Day team renovated both Dewone’s bathroom and bedroom – creating a more functional and comfortable environment to enhance daily life for both Dewone and Jade. Key features of this project include a walk-in shower that allows Jade to bathe Dewone safely without the need for heavy lifting, and padded walls to protect him as he works on maintaining his mobility.

For this transformation, Top Knobs collaborated with the Sunshine on a Ranney Day design team to select hardware for Dewone’s new bathroom. The team ultimately selected the Riverside pull in Flat Black – one of Top Knob’s best-selling pieces. A perfect style for a young man’s space, the Riverside pull is a transitional piece that brings timeless charm to cabinetry. With over 4,500 styles across nearly 40 diverse collections, Top Knobs provides hardware solutions to fit the individual needs and personalities of every unique child supported through the Sunshine on a Ranney Day program.

“This renovation has literally blown my mind,” says Dewone’s mom, Jade. “This is a huge help for me and for him.” Stories like Dewone and Jade’s showcase the impact of the Sunshine on a Ranney Day program. Top Knobs is honored to continue supporting Sunshine on a Ranney Day, providing quality hardware that helps bring life-changing designs to deserving families.

A Mid-West Kitchen Gets an Industrial Update with Top Knobs

August 19, 2020

Before finding success as an award-winning kitchen designer, Dave McFadden had a long and accomplished career as a mechanical engineer, leading design teams for several electronic manufacturing companies. After changing course to follow his creative passions, McFadden started his own firm, PB Kitchen Design, lending his architectural expertise to clients longing for one-of-a-kind interiors.

Interior Designer Dave McFadden

Based in a small Chicago suburb, McFadden’s artistic style draws upon the surrounding city’s contemporary architecture and blends with the traditions of mid-west homes. It is with this unique approach that he received top honors for an industrial kitchen renovation in Top Knobs inaugural “Design Board Contest”.

With the objective of presenting a designated kitchen space where the homeowners had ample room for meal prepping and entertaining, McFadden and the team at Kubala Washatko Architects based all of their design decisions on creating a space that complemented the home’s existing modern appearance.

“The key to this project was to create a kitchen fitting of a residence with strong industrial aesthetics that works equally well for quick family meals or large gatherings,” said McFadden. “Warm, organic and sturdy materials were specified to enrich the integrity of the design.”

Although the completed space is nothing short of spectacular, McFadden faced a few challenges throughout the design process. The expansive windows above the sink and large hood above the range meant there was limited space for upper cabinets. With a need for additional storage, he was strategic about lower cabinet placement and utilized the expansive island to include 42” cabinets. While the unusually high ceilings could not support optimal lighting, suspended structural beams were installed to create an impressive light fixture.

With the foundation of the kitchen complete, Dave McFadden combined transitional elements and luxurious finishes, to complete the look of this avant-garde kitchen. The floors are composed of polished concrete, stone and wood cladding were used on the walls and Top Knobs Flat Sided pulls in Silicon Bronze Light adorn the cabinets.

A Ponte Verde, Florida Kitchen Gets a Costal Makeover with the Help of Top Knobs

March 18, 2020

A true interior visionary, Donna Mancini, of Donna Mancini Interiors & Flooring, works meticulously to provide her clients with exceptional design solutions. From consultation to project execution, Mancini has a well-developed understanding and appreciation for beautiful and functional spaces, and the emotions they evoke.

“My background is quite varied with over 30 years of experience in real estate, business, retail sales management, and interior design. Everything I’ve learned over the years has enabled me to bring a unique perspective and skill set to our current business.”

In her latest project, Donna Mancini deployed her talents to update a dysfunctional kitchen for a Ponte Verde, Florida couple who have a strong love of entertaining and cooking for family and friends.

Mancini began the renovation by eliminating two prep islands that did not offer much usable surface space and prevented the kitchen from its full functional potential. After removing both islands, Mancini created one large island that provided more seating, ample surface space and additional storage for her client’s small appliances.

Along the perimeter of the kitchen, Mancini removed the microwave above the stove and opted for a new range hood. The microwave was moved into a much more accessible and convenient location in the lower cabinets. This small change allowed for the addition of upper-stacked cabinetry where the homeowners could showcase their collection of home décor items.

With a new floor plan in place, Donna Mancini began her work refreshing the aesthetic of the kitchen to tie in with the costal décor of the rest of her client’s home. She relied upon her expertise and knowledge of current design trends and new products to lighten up the kitchen’s color palette and brought in texture and warmth with Top Knobs Ascendra pulls in Honey Bronze.

“I’m loving the warm golds, bronzes, and champagnes that are back in a big way,” says Mancini. “We loved the style of the Ascendra pulls for this kitchen! The lines are soft but clean, and the base provided just enough substance while remaining classic and refined. The look we wanted to achieve was coastal-inspired transitional and we thought this choice was perfect.”

Paired with Gray Mist colored cabinets, the Honey Bronze finish added the perfect amount of sophistication for a design Mancini’s clients are now proud to show off to family and friends.

Thank you, Donna Mancini, for choosing Top Knobs and sharing your project with us! For more design inspiration from Donna Mancini Interiors & Flooring, be sure to follow along on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
