Since you only need a few...why not get real antiques. Robinson's antique Hardware. I got all of mine there. He has a great work ethic and wonderful restored hardware. Here is the link...

Thanks Caroline... but I think I prefer the smoothness and soft sheen of the satin nickel. I have the original ones and I was able to mostly clean up one but it was a b@#@ch to do and I'm not enamored with the iron. So onward I'll search. I think I really like the bottom one I posted the best of all teh above. OH... BTW... I found the PERFECT color for the table finally! I did a coat and of course... got rambunctious and did a second coat too soon 'cause I was excited... but I'll either post later tonight or tomorrow. The color is way more green then I thought I'd like but I love it. It reminds me of seaglass. It's funny... my DS came home tonight from work and said... "oh... such a calming color".... those were the exact words to told DH when I told him I repainted again! That poor table has been stripped and sanded to death!

Is this for your baker's table? If so, I agree with trailrunner. The table will look antique when you're finished, so an antique pull will be the perfect complement.

I can't wait to see it!!

Yep... my baker's table. But aren't most antique pulls iron? I really like the softness of the satin nickel. Do antique pulls come like that at all? You can see, it wasn't about the notion of antiques that drew me to the table... I just loved the lines and uniqueness of it. I'm apparently greatly lacking in my knowledge of antiques! The paint isn't at all rustic or rubbed through... just a pretty soft color with some richness to it.

IMO, those bin pulls are all too fussy for a primitive piece like the baker's table. Except for possibly the beaded one.

ci lantro... what about a simple satin nickel pull and not a cup pull? Darn... I thought I was onto something! I really am pull illiterate. It'll get worse when I get to lighting. Don't know much about that either, 'cept I did discover I like drum shaped things.

I just did a search which I should have done before i posted. I only read through a couple of threads but realized that I have to keep in mind that this is a working piece and I don't want flour, goo, or other such stuff to be hard clean off. I typically get all my ingredients out but there will often be the time when I forget and reach for something while I'm elbow deep in stuff. The drawers are wood on wood and though the slide easy enough and I'll wax them; they're still not Blum. One of my searches led me to Hickory Hardware and I love these.

I like the idea of bin/ cup pulls better than just a simple pull.

Restoration Hardware's Gilmore Pull--available in satin nickel?

You should definitely get what you like ! I was only offering suggestions. I think the nickel will look lovely with the green. It is all very calm sounding. I can hardly wait to see the color. c

I vote for #4, then #1

Not quite what you had in mind, but I like the idea of them with your baker's table.

Thanks all! erika... that is a very helpful link! It helped me figure out what bothers me about traditional bin pulls. I prefer NOT to see the screws. All the ones I like have concealed screws. I never would have put that together if it weren't for that link. I just took a pic of the table with the paint color I quick painted on the front last night. It's no where near done but being I'm as excitable as I am; I'm going to post a thread showing the color I finally reached. I kinda like the zen/modern/clean thing of the ones erika posted.

I like this one a lot. Think it will be a good balance between the elegant marble top, the paint & the rustic zinc drawers.

remodelfla - I actually have 6 bin pulls(which is what I think you need) that I will not be using. They look very similar to the one you just posted above, but maybe a little taller. If you are interested, you can email me at malhgold at optonline dot net and I can send them to you.

malhgold... thank you so much, I'll consider it. I think I'm going to try and incorporate a little contemporary flair with the pulls while keeping it appropriate. I really like the ones that have the concealed hardware and are a little more modern. Question: will it be OK to mix the satin/brushed nickel (which I plan on using in the rest of my kitchen) with the zinc bins?

OK.. now that I see them next to each other in preview I think I like #4 best, then #1, 3, then 2
Opinions?

I gravitate toward the chunkier pulls with hidden hardware, so I love #1 but would it get gummed up with dough etc?

BTW, I love how your piece is progressing. The color you've chosen is lovely. I wish I had your skill and patience!

Cleanability is definitely a consideration. I'm messy and wear my ingredients well...:-)

So a streamline simple pull might work.

remodelfla,
I've been following your baker's table transformation....such fun! I don't know if you'll end up using any of the pulls you posted, but I just wanted to tell you I think they're gorgeous. I especially like #3 from MyKnobs. I think it would be great on you table.

I found these on ebay and they look just like the top one I posted from Kitchens.com. They are from Hickory Hardware and the seller is Bluebird Books and Knobs. Cost is only $4.27 each.

If I go with these... I know there is no law that says I have to get my drawer pulls from the same line, but here are the pulls that I would consider for my wide stile/rail/shaker drawers. It is about 5" long... is that good?

Really... I could talk to you all day about glass tile, backsplashes, granite... but am in the dark on hardware.

Please help me!

I'm back on this as I finished painting the table this past weekend. I forgot the camera so I didnt' take new picks. I'm hand waxing a paste wax finish on it. I did one draw to see and it, if I must say so myself, looks amazing. So do
think this pull is too busy?

More traditional with a modern flair?:

Two more cause they all look the same to me and I can't understand why some are only $5 or $6 and others close to $20 . I need help with this...

Elyse, I went through this same process, trying to figure out if the lower priced zinc hardware meant lower quality. In the end I decided to play it safe and purchased my bin pulls from Restoration Hardware, all solid brass but very reasonably priced. I didn't want to worry about replacing a zillion pulls in the future if the finish started wearing off the less expensive pulls. Since you only need a few pulls for your baker's table, you can't lose. You can splurge and get pricey pulls or get the less expensive ones that can always be swapped out if the finish wears off later.

I like the profile of the second one. The first is really pretty but we're messy cooks and that kind would get gunky in the crevices.

Erika

I don't really care about the price cause i only need 6. So... you're saying solid brass is better quality then zinc?

This company has some really beautiful pieces...

We have Gilmore cup pulls from RH (re: ci lantro above) and I love them! They feel nice in the hand, they look classic and kind of rustic/vintage too. And they seem to be tough...few scratches, no wear from damp hands opening the drawers.

Oooh I like the beaded one. But then I like fru fru so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Let me add that I am quite miffed that you forgot your camera. Hmph.

The camera will be coming down there wiht me this week... promise!

It's going to be one of these two. One is 4 3/4" wide:
