I took the day to work on a new piece I recently purchased. It is a 20 drawer cabinet and immediately fell in love when I first saw it. Vintage and in need of some repair, but not much. I painted the drawers with one coat of Patio Paint Burgundy Rose. The color is somewhat of a cherry wood color. I lightly sanded down the whole cabinet with a light grit sandpaper, wiped it with a tack cloth and then used Minwax water based Wipe-On Poly. It is a wipe on polyurethane sealer. This stuff works great, and is so easy to use.
This cabinet has two holes to cover from the handles that were originally on it. I would have used the original handles (maybe) but one was missing, so I decided to re-design it to what I wanted. I wasn’t sure how to use the Door Pulls that I had chosen. I wanted to use some of the new knobs I recently added to my Door Pulls line from Etsy, and ones I found here and there that I also fell in love when I found them. (please see note at bottom)
I decide to use a circled back plate and design it to match the same design as I used on the knobs. Then after measuring and drilling a hole in each drawer where I wanted the knob and plate to be, I screwed them in place, pulled the knob to see that it fit tight enough and it came off into my hand.
So today I bought longer screws and more back plates to finish this great piece of furniture.
I also wanted to add some of the Vintage jewelry I have been collecting to the bottom holes. LOVED THAT!!! Wooo-Hoo! I am so excited. Since I am not finished yet I will be adding another post on this project. Here are a few more pics to show you what I have so far. Enjoy!
If you want to order any of the knobs with the plates in the back I will make you a custom listing. Contact me at: crafting@kimberlymadson.com with your request for a custom order. Include the knob(s) design you would like to have and I will send you an email with a link to your custom order. There you can purchase your request. Each set is $12.50 plus shipping and handling, or you can purchase just the back plate for $5.00 each.
(NOTE: the back plates that are available are not as thick as the ones shown. The ones that you can order will be the thinner.
Chocolate Knob with matching Back Plate!
The price of $12.50 is for one set which includes one knob and one back plate.)
Hope to see you there.
God Bless!
Kimberly
p.s.
Some of the designs I used don’t belong to me so I cannot resale them. Sorry. Please check my Etsy. There are a lot to chose from. I can even work with a design you may have in mind. K.
