Chrome To Brushed Nickel!!!

I've been working feverishly at completing our daughters' bathroom.  I've refinished the cabinets, replaced lighting, painted walls, sewn curtains and changed out the shower curtain and rod but the cabinet hardware just wasn't working for me. I purchased this chrome hardware a couple of years ago and still really like the style and size but not the shiny finish.

So, I set out to find the best way to change the finish.  The only option I found online was to use Fine Steel Wool but I didn't have much success.

I figured I had nothing to lose and took out my Extra Fine sanding block and started sanding.  With a little bit of grit and grind, I'm thrilled with the outcome.  Voila!!!

Let me know what you think.....

Larissa's Look for Less

When I first began blogging, I thought it would be 'worth'while to share affordable options for designer looks, furniture and decor in High Style Low Budget.

Well, I don't know about you but there is nothing I love more than a million dollar look on a dime store budget. So when I find a great deal on a designer look, I'll be sharing it with you.

And here is my first....

Restoration Hardware's 17th Century Monastery Rectangular Dining Table in Brown Acacia finish features balustrade and trestle design is priced at $1195.
