Tip #2: Hardware

There are several options to update a dresser's hardware.

 A) you could refinish the dresser and keep the current hardware if you like it.

B) you could spray paint the current hardware, Rustoleum and Valspar both have spray paint that has a metallic look (ranging from about $4-$8 a can) and the paint dries rather quickly

C) buy new hardware. Option C can get pricey depending on the look and finish you want. I suggest looking online. I ordered the hardware I wanted on Amazon.com. The same pieces were available at Lowe's but a lot cheaper online. There are a lot more options online as well. Make sure to measure the distance between the holes for the handles you need. You can always fill the old holes and drill new ones if you can't find the same size.

When ordering online check your shipment to make sure it's correct as soon as you get it. It's not a fun realization when you notice one of your knobs is a misfit right at the end of a project.
