Furniture Flipping 101: Transform Your Thrift Finds into Treasures!

What happens here

To complete the refinished look, add new hardware. For a drawer, measure carefully to determine the center point for the new knob. Drill a pilot hole and then securely fasten the new knob from the back of the drawer using a screwdriver. Always measure and remeasure to avoid mistakes. Finally, perform any necessary touch-ups. Use small artist brushes to carefully apply paint to any minor scratches, dings, or areas that the sprayer might have missed, especially in tight crevices. This ensures a flawless and professional final appearance.

Goal: Complete the furniture with new hardware and fix any final imperfections.
