My gut told me to divide the width of the drawers by 3, and that gives the pull size. Looked it up and the 1/3 solution is a real thing. My 16” drawers are getting 5” pulls, 18” drawers will have 6” pulls and 30” drawer under built-in-oven gets a 10” pull. All purchased through Build.com (Ferguson) Miseno brand. Good sturdy pulls and knobs.
I personally do not believe in the 1/3 rule for pulls. I think sometimes that makes a kitchen look old fashioned. Not all the time but on some kitchens it does. I think that may have been an old design rule.

Every single piece of wood is different. As to Minwax gray on our table, the cabinetry? It was what we wanted. We weren't looking for very pale - that is the flooring! Pale....
As we did, you have to test!
Wellllll what is the "current" hardwood? Oak? Red oak? Something else?
Above all AND MOST important? Show that layout, best shown in the 2 d cad format. You can add the pretty elevated drawings.
What you really should do? Don't tag on this thread. Begin your own, and begin with........here's my kitchen. I need help ! Lots : )
Clarification just in case - we have only one cabinet in Silvered gray 282. The stain looks like an off white color, it’s very light . Before lacquer was applied , I noticed that stain brought out some pink which disappeared after applying lacquer or maybe the wood just cured . I read that sometimes pink hue disappears after a while on white oak .
But the rest of the cabinets in the house is mw classic gray .
I wasn’t sure if it’s clear.
MW Classic Gray has a very obvious strong gray color. Asked painters to apply and remove immediately- not wait for even 5 minutes. The goal was NOT to make them gray but to bring out grain to an extent and to sort of age the wood.
But even after quick removal
there were spots that took stain too hard and were obviously gray.
I walked throughout the house and sanded places away such places myself .
At some spots I wish I had sanded more.
Idk if anyone will ever need this info because obviously the trend is 180 degree different . But just in case again. 😀 be careful and test test test. And even after that watch out.
One wonderful thing about wood is that things can be fixed almost indefinitely.
PS : edited grammar and spelling.
Thx Mia. We are building a new home and trying to decide on the right flooring. They were pushing us to do engineered but we have always had real hardwood and still lean that way. We liked the prospect ash because it has option to do herringbone pattern as well. Only thing that worried me with it, is if there was too much variation overall once its over a large sq ft area. Marketing photos just arent the same as real customer photos:)
Thanks Mia. I will call the customer service and see. Just worried if it will get too yellowish
Mia - Yes , saw Gabby in person. The display looks different from sample they r selling
in samples also I see all different shades and nothing same as display.
I like sample and pictures.
Display is the cocern as it looks too yellow. So trying to see whats the closest color shade.
