This snores-ville cabinet could definitely use a slap of paint to liven it up a bit. There is no question about that. But to give it even more personality, more pizzazz, what can you do?
We're reminded once again at the power of adding the right hardware; look at what a pair of mismatched, unexpected knobs does for this piece.
Want to customize your cabinet in similar fashion? The brass finish Secret Key Handle from Anthropologie is available for just $4.95.
And those lovely numbered knobs? Sure, you can purchase them, but as shown over at Infarrantly Creative, DIYing your own set isn't all too difficult.

The simplicy is nice. Love the key door handle.
My God. Nice DIY but those knobs! I was looking at the same ones from Anthropologie yesterday and really liked them. Except I didn't like that fact that it only came in two sets of numbers. Thanks for the link to the DIY for the knobs.
Great before-and-after!
I have to say that I'm pretty annoyed that I scrolled through posts on the main channel earlier and saw the posts above and below this one, and I'm certain this post wasn't here. How often do I miss posts because they are added into the middle of the line-up?
@Popsicle, the exact same thing happens to me on both AT and the Kitchn. Makes me nutty, too.
This is a GREAT re-do!

Same here. I looked at the list of DIY projects this afternoon. Came back tonight and they're not only in a different order, there are some here I've never seen. Makes it hard to find things.
