5 minutes later...

We bought this dresser from craigslist for $50 (a bit more than I usually like to spend). It had one odd pull that didn't match the others.



I decided to replace the pulls with knobs. Which is not always the cheapest change to make, but it's EASY!
I chose these knobs from Anthropologie.



The dresser is storage for our upstairs bath. 5 minutes later with the help of some pliers...







The knobs I bought were $6 - $10 each. So when you need 6 or more it can add up.

However, a new dresser similar to mine such as this (though a bit more embellished) is a considerable amount more.



On the whole though I got my dresser for a fraction of what I could have paid, no one else has one like it and I was able to customize it for our space.
