Some old bed-side tables were being scrapped from my parent’s old house. They were from my older sister’s room and had wonderful detailed metal drawer pulls. I salvaged them some time ago and now will use them for my daughter’s chest of drawers. I like the idea that she will grow up looking at them like my sister did.

That is a way cool connection to the past. I’m making a dresser for one my girls as well but I’m struggling with the drawer pulls.
Yeah – I also find it difficult to find pulls that catch my eye. Maybe a craigslist search for a beat-up dresser with salvageable old pulls would do it?
