I use this wonderful product to restore all of my old furniture and covers up the nicks and scratches so nice, it is called "Restor-A-Finish" really easy to use and it has color choices.

Check Lowes or Home Depot, Harbor Freight or Ikea online for hardware. Look at the measurements and try to match it with a coin, button etc so you can get a good idea if it is the size you want.

:-D :-D :-D Thank you for the information on the restore a finish. I'll see if our hardware store has any. Well I'm in the hopes I won't have to pay an arm and a leg for the glass shelves, if they are out of my price range, maybe I can use wood until I can afford some. Doesn't hurt go go find out. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

I went to Swains and found the Restore A Finish and I put a coat of on the cabinet, but will do the doors and the rest of the front later. I put some wood fill in where I took out the small nails that were in the decoration thingies that were behind the old knobs. I also found some nice knobs and they will look great. The wood fill-in will dry in about 2 hours so mabe an hour left on that. I did the inside and it did get a lot of the scrathes and it will be soooo pretty when I get it all done. I probably should have gotten a shade darker tho, but it looks great now. My sister was here a while ago and she said it looks so much prettier than what she remembers it. I went down to the glass place and they were closed until Tuesday so will have to wait and call them to get prices. There is another glass place in town, but waaayyy up in the east side of town, but I did not feel like walking that far. I still have to go get groceries yet too. Thanks for telling me about the Restore a Finish stuff. It seems to be working really nice. I've got the door open to get air as you have to use in a well ventilated area. Every one have a great day, Huggies, Fay
