Are you referring to a chest of drawers? If yes paint and change out the hardware. Hobby Lobby has a lot of choices and can send in the mail.

Sometimes ,just changing the pulls/knobs is enough. You could also refinish or paint it. Here's one I did:

Update the hardware. Replace a drawer with baskets. Paint part of it and leave part of it stained.

You could paint it and use transfer designs, here are some beautiful ones:

I'm from the south and see it spelled this way all the time. I didn't know the correct way is chest of drawers until I was like 20 years old. Lol

I love painting furniture to give it a more upscale look. I have several posts on my site with different types of paint. If you want to do it fast use spray paint but if you want a beautiful farmhouse look try milk paint or chalk paint. Here are a few posts.

Hello the most common trend nowadays is to use chalk paint. Are you considering painting your piece?

Painting, decoupage, refinishing and staining would all give a new look. Changing out the hardware is another great way. Good luck and stay safe!
