Replacing the existing hard wares can be one of the easiest and most inexpensive way for giving the cabinets a new look. The old handles are pull types and if you want to change it into drawer knobs, you will really have to deal with 2 holes since the knob has one hole only and is placed at the center.

But you need not to worry since you can now replace it with a knob by installing a faceplate on the front drawer before you will install the knob.
