How to Dress up Furniture With Hardware
by
Debbie
Pretty hardware can give a piece of furniture style. Here I gathered up tips and links for buying hardware and dealing with some of the little problems hardware can give you.
Sometimes it is perfect to keep a vintage dresser's original hardware. Here, I only changed out the top knobs to add a little sparkle.
First hardware tip...go out and buy these right now if you don't have them! Easily adjustable length screws for different drawer depths.
Sometimes, a touch of paint can update brass knobs.
Too many holes..fill in with a good wood fill.
Ever try screw in pulls. Just have to touch up steel screws to match.

Thanks for the tips. They will come in very handy.

Thanks for all this information - especially about the 'adjustable' screws - I had no idea that such a thing was available! I generally use the 'closest' length, and add some washers! Dressing up furniture with new hardware makes all the difference!

@Valerie I didn't know about these for the longest time either Valerie! Now I always keep some on hand.
