Oh knobs. What a difference a few knobs can make. A few weeks ago, I refinished this console dresser. My mother had given it to me a couple of years ago. It was actually from Anthropologie, but after some time I no longer liked the dark, papered finish. I have been searching for a before with no luck. Well, here is the after. I used Baked Brie from Behr latex paint in a semi-gloss finish. I rolled and painted the paint on. I did not put a finish on it, although I love Minwax Finishing Paste which I did use on the dresser below. To finish it off I found these cute pulls from Pier One. They were only about $4 a piece.
I had also repainted another dresser which we have in our bedroom. Unfortunately, it is also functioning as a tv stand. I would get rid of the tv, but I can't live without a bit of HGTV at night before bed:) I had spray painted the previous knobs with Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint and they looked good, but did not fit the dresser. They were very loose. I decided to go back to Pier One and take a looksee. There in a clearance basket sat some lovely knobs for under $2 each! I picked these:
I left the first knobs on the dresser thinking they would look good together, but as I looked and looked, I realized the dresser will look better with uniform pulls.I will be going back for two more.
