Project Restoration: (Part 1 of 4)
This article is part of the Chicago Budget Decorator Restoration Series.

Have a tired old dresser, chest, or cabinet that needs a make-over? Try some of the tips below for a quick and inexpensive change.

1) Hardware – Hardware may be small, but the impact is big. Changing knobs on a dresser or even your kitchen cabinets can give a whole new look to the space. Anthropologie has a wide array of knobs from shabby to chic, and every look in between. – Start shopping now on anthropologie.com or at your Chicagoland Anthropologie location (featured below). Visit anthropologie.com to see more hardware samples.

2) Paint- Paint or wood stain can spruce up furniture or cabinets for as little as $25. This small change can give the illusion of a brand new piece.
