Mr. Fix-It Strikes Again

My husband and I still have the same bedroom furniture that we got when we were first married.  Okay, we've replaced the mattress twice.  It is campaign style with brass inset drawer pulls--very seventies.

Original Drawer Pull

So it was not very surprising that when I tried to open a drawer today, the drawer pull came off, broken beyond repair.  I said, "Time to buy new bedroom furniture."

"Oh, no, my husband said.  "I can fix it.  Do you need anything at Lowe's?"

I thought, isn't that sweet?  He thinks he can replace a 44-year-old drawer pull.  Well, I appreciate his willingness to try, but this is NOT going to happen.  There is NO WAY that he can replace a brass inset drawer pull from the seventies.

A few hours later, Neil came home and took his Lowe's purchase into the bedroom.  About five minutes later he came back out with a big smile and said, "It's fixed!"

Really?  I was shocked.  I ran into the bedroom to the dresser, my heart filled with hope, and this is what I saw.

Get ready...

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

New Drawer Pulls

Like I said, "Time to buy new bedroom furniture."
