Once the paint was on the back of the cabinets - I loved it - but I could see the holes where the handles used to be. Not glaring, but enough that I could pick of the spot where the handles were quite quickly. The hinges were all quite well hidden but not the huge screws that were once handles. The wood putty we had used to fill the holes had sort of shrunk down.
I had really hoped to switch from these "lovely handles"
to knobs. But this was only possible if I could totally hide those holes. At this point only the backs of the cabinets were done. We could still try to fix the fronts so that these screw holes would be hidden.
We looked at a few options. In the end we touched up the holes with PolyFilla. About 2 or 3 times each cabinet (touch up, sand, touch up, sand...)
And it worked.
I can see almost none of the handles holes and I get to switch to knobs!
