The bookcase is just one of those pieces that is a chameleon in anybody’s home. It keeps on changing. You can use this one furniture as anything you like. Be it a showcase for your prized possessions or an actual bookkeeping case, or even you can have your plates and bowls sorted in them. So giving it a new look every two years or three years is not a bad idea because it is multipurpose furniture in your home.

If you are up for a new challenge that is easy and cheap, then this article is for you. You simply need to appreciate DIY and re-trying decorations, and you can truly change any household item into something that is ideal for your home. Regardless of whether you are a DIY individual or not, this article will demonstrate to you the reasonable way that you can do to give your Bookcase an elevating look. Change the old handles to the sparkly glass kitchen knobs.

You will just need a few materials to do this DIY project:

  1. Glass knobs (From any store you like or online)
  2. Screw Driver and some nuts

You can imagine the type of work when there are only two elements required for the project. Many people now a day choose to do it yourself projects because they teach you how to do things in your way and they make you feel accomplished. It is comparatively cheaper than a hired person who will do the job for you.

So, the bookshelf we will be using is this in the picture. You can choose whichever you want. This project goes with any furniture that has handles or knobs.

If you just follow these steps, this work will not take you more than a day! So the steps are as follows-

Step 1: Unscrew the handles from the doors and drill the existing holes again for a smooth final change.

Step 2: Add some wood putty in one hole, because you will be using a single hole for each of your doors.

Step 3: Before putting your new knobs in place, fill any holes left by old hardware with wood putty and paint that area.

Step 4: Attach the new glass knobs with screws.

The result turned out pretty well:

Few tips to keep in mind:

  • Always buy extra knobs and screws for future use. You do not know when you will need them. So be prepared! Always.

There are different sizes of glass knobs in the stores, so choose the one you feel will match your door size.
