How lucky you are to have your grandmother's pretty wood hutch. The new knobs look good, but I hope you *SAVED* the old ones, too.<br /><br />My mother has taught me that with older, nicer furniture, it is good to keep the original hardware at hand since it can add to the <b>value, charm, and integrity.</b> (And please don't spray paint them!) <br /><br />I have my parents' beautiful mahogany low boy. I had the brass hardware professionally polished and then lacquered by a silversmith as suggested by a Martha Stewart article. It looks beautiful. Some day brass will be more in style and you may change your mind about the handles.<br /><br />P.S.

A fun date night for me is to go walk around Lowes and see what is new. My friends joke that I am either at Michaels, Lowes, Home Depot or Sams.

When you removed the old hardware did it not leave marks where they were on the drawer fronts? That is why I haven't changed my bathroom knobs...they have the plate behind the knob, and I'm afraid the outline of it will show when they are removed.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820289252952684291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60979274014522007.post-38267090882073421672008-11-13T15:37:00.000-07:002008-11-13T15:37:00.000-07:00I love changes like this.
