furniture refinishing tip & local hardware source find

Found Cabinetmaker's Hardware Store on Cleveland St. in Virginia Beach. I was looking for the dry sink hinge hardware and probably returned 20 styles of hinges from Home Depot and Lowe's, no joke. Cabinetmaker's were so, so helpful, reasonably priced.  I will definitely recommend them and will be going back!

TIP: Keep all old hardware! Often it will be much easier to spray paint to the desired finish. Even though I didn't reuse the hinges, I was able to take the extremely unique hinge in and Cabinetmaker's found what I needed immediately! They truly were a godsend after all the exchanges I'd already done, internet searching, etc. etc.
