Have you ever tried to revamp a piece of furniture?

I was going to repaint an old cabinet today after breakfast but I had to deal with something more urgent and it's now too hot to go to the shed and find the leftover paints.
I didn't like the door handles that came with the cabinet so I ordered new ones online and opted for knobs this time (the ones in the photo above). They say knobs are out of style, but I like the design and finish on these.
The cabinet was used to store my mother's ornaments in the living room but we badly need a sideboard in the kitchen so it's going there this time.
I'm hoping there won't be any interruptions tomorrow so I can cross this one off my to-do list.

I have refinished many furniture pieces in my lifetime. I think it's soothing, and it gives you a sense of accomplishment. Plus, you can sort of put your stamp on it and make it your own that way. I wish you the best with your project.

I thought it was fun, and soothing. During the pandemic, I refinished 2 vintage nightstands, they were complicated as the wood was curved. Took me awhile, but they look good.

No, I just buy a new piece of furniture if something happens to a piece I already own.
Good luck getting the cabinet redone.

Thanks, @DaddyEvil. I'm hoping the paint color I chose matches the rest of the room.

I would love to engage in such activities but my limited mobility won't allow it. Also to revamp one needs paints nuts bolts and whatnot. I also don't have any company as a friend to share the work with. I just appreciate it when someone put their creativity to good use. The knobs look so sleek and so stylish.

I like those too. Will you maybe let us see it when you finish it?
It sounds like something I would like to do.

My mom had a really nice round coffee table that had been painted black, With time as I grew up the table got shabbier and shabbier finally I took paint to it and it looked like new again, Best of luck to you with that cabinet.
