Gardening: Another flower to identify

I have this flower that grows all summer and blooms in the fall. It is really pretty w/sort of a pinkish/orangish flower. No pix of the flower (not Fall yet) but maybe you can tell by the leaves? It grows in full sun, in a large clump.

Furniture Revivals: Drawer Pulls...any ideas on how to spruce up drawers??

I just purchased this desk for 29.99 and love love it! It's from an old Desk company in Boston. I plan to sand it down and paint it a creamy white but I cannot remove the draw pulls. It has screws behind them but it guess it's just more support but they are part of the drawer. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to spruce the drawers pulls up!
