It's in the Details

I find that details make a piece.  In this case I am talking about knobs and pulls. I have four pieces of furniture I have recently refinished.  When Hobby Lobby had their knobs and pulls 50% off I gave each of these new pieces the hardware they deserved.

China hutch before:

China hutch after:

 knobs: $2.50 each

Please excuse the shadows from the chandelier

I wanted the knobs on the china hutch to match the ones on the buffet.

Vanity before:

These are the knobs that came on it.

They are white porcelin but I didn't care for the flowers on them.

Vanity after:

knobs $1.50 each

Table before:

a small wooden knob

Table after:

knob $2.00

Armoire before:

It had 6 wooden knobs originally.

I painted them oil-rubbed-bronze but didn't like them

Armoire after:

door pulls $2.00 each

drawer bin pulls $1.00 each

I purchased the bin pulls on the drawers online at Cripe Distributing. They come in a pack of 25 and cost $14 plus $11 shipping. That's only $1 a piece.  I saw these on another gals blog.  She used them in her kitchen.  I have to admit I had my doubts about the quality since these pulls are expensive at the hardware store.  But I couldn't be happier with them.  They are very good quality and heavy.  I sprayed these with oil-rubbed-bronze paint so they would match the upper pulls and hinges.  The only downside is they don't come with screws.  I took one to a hardware store and got screws that fit for 5 cents each.  I plan on using the rest of these pulls when we refinish our kitchen this summer.
