Once all painted surfaces are dry, it's time to install the drawer fronts. Use thin wooden spacers (approximately 1/8 inch thick) to create uniform gaps around all sides of each inset drawer front, ensuring they sit perfectly flush within the face frame openings. Secure the drawer fronts from the inside of the drawer box using screws. Next, use a cabinet hardware jig to accurately mark and drill holes for the cabinet pulls (e.g., 5-inch champagne bronze pulls). Attach the pulls to the drawer fronts using a screwdriver, completing the functional and aesthetic aspects of the drawers.
