2. Filled in the peg holes with white nail hole filler. Unless you’re up close, you can’t see the holes, which is usually a tell-tale sign of an Ikea piece.
3. Drilled holes to secure brushed brass hardware purchased from www.myknobs.com.
4. Spray painted hinges and screws with Rustoleum’s Metallic spray in Gold.
