Description:
What is so fascinating about hardware? It can change the entire look of a room. Compared to the expense of demolition and reconstruction, changing the surface detail -- replacing doorknobs, hinges, and drawer pulls -- is a small investment. The fine features on doorknobs and cabinet handles can become the decorative springboard for every room. And if the original hardware is intact, it is an important connection to the past and the home's history.
