Bedroom Furniture Hardware

I'm looking to refinish my bedroom dressers and nightstand. My plan is on plugging the holes left from the old hardware, sanding off the current finish, drilling new holes for the new hardware, and restaining it. What types of finsih should i look at? I want it to be black, but dont know what types of stain i should use and if i need to polyurthene it as well.

If you have a really stubborn varnish to get through, I would recommend chemically stripping the wood. If you're only planning on sanding the wood and not first stripping it, you'd better have some damn good equipment! If you just have a common orbital sander you're going to wear yourself out and not get very far in the process. If you have a disk or a belt sander you'll be able to remove the varnish a lot quicker, but then you have to be careful not to sand too deeply and ruin your piece. If your furniture has legs or any curved areas it can be hard to sand. You'll only need to lightly sand the furniture after using a chemical stripper, and then it'll be so smooth you'll want to get naked and wiggle on it! Well, maybe not... but you get the idea. Look for a chemical stripper that says "no clean-up" or washes clean with water. Definitely wear gloves and a mask.

What would look better, white or black? Do I keep the hardware and change the color or change it. That would be expensive if you could find some that worked? How do I change the color. Stain ot paint?

You will have to decide what will look better with the colours in your room/decor. You can stain the maple darker, but I would suggest painting it either white or black.As I said, it will depend on your room colour, bedding colour, floor colour, etc...you can go with an off white too if you prefer a softer look. I would not stain it, as it does not have the grain like oak or ash, but you can go darker with the stain if you prefer to give it a different look.

I am looking to redo our master bedroom, I would like to use a monochromatic color scheme. I am leaning towards a more contemporary look, however my furniture is strictly tradtional(four poster bed) brass hardware. Can I still utilize the look without having to replace the furniture?

Absolutely. Using the right color of paint, contemporary bedding ensemble, lighting fixtures & artwork with the traditional furnishings will give it a whimsical, fantasy feel.

Not sure what color you're leaning toward or what color your furniture is, but a gray or a brown will probably give you the sleek look you want, like in this makeover:

I'm thinking about my bedroom furniture. It is in good condition overall, just the top surfaces and some scratching. I like the design, but was thinking about refinishing and changing hardware. Help...should I even get an estimate?

Get an estimate. Take pictures and always get at least three opinions. If you like the furniture enough to spend the time and money on it it will be worth it, however if you find out it costs more to get it refinished than to just buy a new set...well you know what to do. Good luck!

For my 13th birthday my dad is letting me redo my bedroom. I love music and I play the guitar so I want to do a music themed room. I have almost black furniture with silver hardware. There isn't a set limit but it can't be too expensive. Any decorating ideas would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I'm a girl.

great music themed decorating ideas
