Decorating on a Budget A set of sleek, modern, brushed-nickel dresser knobs is a sure way to update some antiquated furniture. Styles these days emphasize function with little fanfare apart from their own sparse form. With this in mind, it would be a bit incongruous to put minimalist hardware on an old Victorian or Greek Revival dresser, but you get the idea. Use good judgment and know that after you do it, you'll have a drastically changed piece. |

Indulge in Some Vanity
Turning your dresser into a makeshift vanity adds some pizzazz to any room. Dresser mirrors open up space, add light, and remind you of that handsome mug on your shoulders. Of course, they can get a little pricey, so prepare your checkbook by hocking all that furniture that can't be salvaged. Also, you'll want somebody who knows what they're doing when it comes to keeping the mirror in place. In addition to all the bad luck, broken glass makes a terrible mess.
Casters are more of a functional than stylistic addition to your bedroom dresser. However, repositioning furniture can delay the inexorable desire to replace every piece of furniture in your bedroom by several years. In this respect, casters are invaluable.
