A little behind-the-scenes “oops”…
The original plan was to reuse the existing hardware because it fit the budget.. But while removing one of the drawer pulls, it snapped in half. 😬 Years of age had made the metal too fragile to survive removal, almost like they oxidized.
Since finding an exact replacement wasn’t an option, (and I also needed 10 hardware pulls, NOT just one.. because they HAD to match)
—I started searching for new hardware that would complement both the buffet and my client’s home.
Here is where the magic happened! ✨
— I customized the new hardware, turning what I received (Black hardware pulls) into these stunning antique brass pulls! (To better fit Clients home furnishings)
Looking back, I’m actually thankful it happened because the new hardware elevated the entire piece and gave it a much more custom, designer feel!
That’s the reality of custom refinishing—sometimes projects throw you a curveball, but those unexpected moments often lead to the best transformations. ✨
