Anyone know where I can find white or silver drawer pulls that come in both 2.5" and 3" that match? It's amazing how hard this is to find.

2.5 inch pulls are very hard to find. Try Google.

My bathroom's drawers are all 2.5 CC spreads. I am going to have to fill in the old holes and drill new ones (then paint all the woodwork) to get decent new drawer pulls. That project starts next month.

If I'm not supposed to post this, I am sorry. But here is a website selling non-standard sized pulls. We've ordered from them earlier this year:

It seems like a lot of people use this thread, so I thought I'd add a new, working link for Liz's Antique Hardware in Los Angeles. They do mail order and have a pretty good selection of light fixtures, too.

I know this is an old thread, but I had a odd size drawer pull on a computer desk which was damaged when we moved. I ended up getting two round knobs (one for each hole) to solve the problem. Worked for me..

The drawers in my bathroom in my 1957 house had 2.5 drawer pulls when I moved in. I couldn't find any decent 2.5 inch pulls, so I had a contractor drill new ones spaced 3" apart. Easy peasy. Didn't even cost that much. It's something I probably could have done myself, but he did a much better job than I could have. I put boomerang pulls from Rejuvenation on there and they look awesome.

In another built-in in the house there were 2.5 pulls; I replaced those with bin pulls that were ingeniously designed...they could be used in both a 2.5" and 3" configuration. I got them at Home Depot. Worth every penny. They look terrific.
