The goal is to patch your home up nicely with as little cash as possible. This is a great way to do it. If you have broken or completely worn-out hardware, you should replace the whole set, unless you can findmatching pieces. You could paint the old and new tomatch. You could also combine the good parts in one bathroom, and replace all the hardware in another. Warning: Make sure that if you end up replacing your knobs, you get matching exposed hinges for cabinet doors. Consistency is good when selling a home.
