I did give the spray paint a try and was not pleased with the result. They looked... well... spray painted! Stephanielyn! You saved my life! With tax at a local business these were gonna cost me $480.74. On Ebay $146.85. I just saved $333.89! THANK YOU!!!!!!! This was my first time to post on this forum. You all have been fantastic! Thanks so much!

We actually had these in our old kitchen--I really liked them in use, in spite of not liking the photo much. (OP's selling agent chose them; ours were from 2007 so not sure if the style has changed at all.) The knobs were very comfortable in your hand. I would happily have reused them had they gone with our new kitchen--they are the one ORB item I really liked in the space, because they developed a lovely patina, unlike the faucet in the photo, which had chunks of steel showing through... (And in fact, if you do go with them and need some extras, send me an email--I think we saved ours!) Here's our old kitchen with a mix of the knobs and pulls (excuse the falling-apart cabinets!) P.S. Oh, and I just noticed you're thinking of installing these in the reverse--knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. I *loved* having these pulls on our doors, and in our new kitchen we skipped knobs all together and used pulls everywhere. So that might be another solution for you!

Thanks for responding! suero and sashasmommy- thought of that but it would probably be a square shaped bar and fairly long (my niece suggested I could use it for a towel bar lol) sandyponder- Love the, I think they are called edge pulls in the rejuvinate 3 of the Leslie Fine Interiors. I have included the picture. That is kind of what I was thinking of when I said I did not know what they were called! les917- It's funny that you noticed my square-rectangle theme as it was intentional. Thanks for the tip about the open end handles. I thought about using a large round mirror but my electrical had to go where it is to be centered and the round mirror would have been too big to fit in between the lights. sheesharee- I am wondering if 2 smaller ones would look okay? I would end up with 4 handles-not too dresser looking? juddgirl2- the 12" centers are gone. The longest the have are 8". The other stuff that I have is from RH Dillon Collection trainrack and tissuse paper holder and their service was pretty good. I found some pics of some I like------------

Lily Spider and Carrie B - Thank you for the input. I think our hands are relatively small, so it will be interesting to feel some of these. I'm going to stop by the builders supply store tomorrow to get my hands on these and other suggested options. Erin Robbins - Thank you for the comments on the chandelier. I hadn't thought about how the kitchen may appear masculine - but you are correct. I selected the chandeliers because I really wanted something people noticed in the room as everything else was a really trying to keep a unified approach. The KD noticed that I had a need for symmetry and for things to tie together - but I also fight the boring accountant in me and need something creative. I'm glad for the chandeliers and the quartz is also an eye popper. The sample and the online image of the quartz just don't give it justice. It really is pretty. I would never had selected it, but I saw it installed at the appliance store and fell in love. Also, a much softer finish that the prior quartz I had selected which was darker and as you pointed out - more masculine. kiko - Thank you for the suggestion to consider the appliance handles. The only visible appliance handles will be the ovens. Just so happens the ovens were installed today. The oven handles are square and pretty beefy to the hand. Option 4 in the OP (JA-Delgado) gives the feeling of square, but softer. I'll post pictures of the oven handles. (Fridge and dishwasher are paneled; microwave is a electronic open drawer). Although, I just decided I cannot tell if the paneled refrigerator from Bosch I purchased comes with the handles. If it does that would be sweet; appliance handles are crazy expensive in comparison to all other cabinet hardware. sprtphntc - Thanks for your suggestion to also help narrow down the choices. Do you think it would make sense to have the island with a darker finish, but the same style/different finish on the perimeter. I'll look through your posts to see if I can find pictures of your kitchen. For finish, I was planning on satin nickel (I never mentioned that), but was also eyeing the J.Alexander brushed pewter finish. I'll get some samples in the various finishes and bring them into the kitchen to get a better feel. I wouldn't have thought about ORB - so I'll give that a try. In addition to the revitalize collection you suggested, I just found the Candler collection which has potential. blfenton - That prep sink faucet is very unique. I chose it because I'm hoping the folded up version of that means the faucet is less noticeable - but you may actually be right that people can't help be curious to play with the interesting faucet. Thanks for the vote on Delgado. It's been growing on me over the last 24 hours.
