Don't worry so much about the handles matching as getting the best appliances you can afford in each category. The two wall ovens should try to look similar though due to proximity. What outlet are yu finding deals like this?

I'm reposting this from the OP's original thread as another option. The OP sent me the plans and I played around with them a bit more. I understood that she couldn't really change the exterior except for the bump out where her bathroom was. I got rid of that and moved it in so the width is the same but without the bump out in the upper right corner. She has some real concerns about this version and isn't sure she wants to give up some things as she'll comment later. However here are the changes I made: I made the hall a straight run from the foyer. No more maneuvering around a jog. Bedroom 1 is the same size but now the bathroom for bedroom 1 is next to it as opposed to having to walk across the hallway. I didn't put it in, but there could also be a pocket door from bedroom one into the bathroom so the au pair wouldn't even have to go into the hallway. However now at least it's right next to the bedroom. Also now there's a window in the room. I moved the laundry to the other side of the au pair's bedroom. This room now has a window and also now has a much shorter run for the dryer. In the laundry the cabinets opposite the washer/dryer can be used not only for additional storage but also as a broom closet and linen closet. I flipped the master bedroom to be on the living room wall. The master is now a foot shorter (but still deep enough for a king sized bed and a dresser on the opposite wall). My thinking was the living room has cabinets that would help block any noise and now the master bathroom and the master closet will act as noise blockers between the boys bedroom and the master. The master toilet room became a bit narrower but is still about 37-38" wide. If the OP doesn't get a 6' tub they can make the shower a bit longer. The boy's bedroom is the same size as before and while I don't love the idea of a bathroom taking up a corner, I couldn't figure out how to put it between the boy's bedroom and the playroom without losing too much space. The playroom now becomes a separate sanctuary where the boys enter their bedroom from the playroom. The problem lies in that now the playroom is smaller. I'll let the OP add her thoughts. bardzil, had suggested to me concerns about turning the plan into a four bedroom house instead. Here is my suggestion for if she ever wanted to turn it into a 4 bedroom house. However the smaller playroom is still an issue but then again living where she does, I'm guessing the boys will spend lots of time outdoors? (In this version, I didn't add in the window changes.)

Aways use stainless or chrome. They are non reactive to kitchen substances. Unless you want to pay for them to be changed out inside a year because it’s discolored. Matching anything goes too far when it affects functionality.

We just bought a sink and if I was going farmhouse it was going to be Blanco, hands down. We beat up our old Blanco and that thing just never failed to impress us. Their farmhouse also has a workstation option which I think is really ideal if you cook a lot or want some additional organization. But I'm telling you the last sink just wouldn't die... It didn't pop with hot liquids, it didn't scratch where I couldn't clean it EASILY, never saw awful distinctive spots, left cans in it with no problems, etc. All the horror stories I read while researching sinks I never had an issue with. Give Blanco a try if you like the look of their farmhouse!
