For a quick and easy furniture makeover replace cabinet and drawer knobs with sea life inspired knobs. Choose your favorite ocean creature: sea turtle, whale, fish, octopus, lobster or seahorse, in a variety of color finishes — distressed white, bronze, gold, pewter, chrome, rust, painted — to match your coastal home decor style.
This layer of design is considered the jewelry of home decor. Treat knobs and pulls as statement pieces, just like how a little bit of bling finishes an outfit.
Changing out knobs and pulls, a perfect beginner DIY project, will transform the look of dresser drawers, kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, furniture, desk drawers or doors. See how to instructions below.

Easy DIY: How to install Cabinet Knobs
HOW TO REPLACE CABINET KNOBS AND PULLS
If you are simply replacing your current knobs, unscrew the existing knob. Replace it with your new one. Easy-peasey. If you are adding knobs follow these steps.
Step 1: Position the knob where you’d like to see it when finished.
Step 2: Place a dot with pencil or marker there as a marker.
Step 3: You can make a template with a piece of paper so every knob is installed evenly.
Step 4: Using your template as a guide, use a drill to make holes.
Step 5: Insert knob and tighten the screw.
