bumping- any pics are appreciated!

Well, I have a 5" pull (all the bin pulls are 4", for comparison purposes) -- I know not exactly what you're looking for, but close. ???

For what it's worth, the 5" pull is v. comfortable.

it's the horizontal pull

rmkitchen- thanks so much for your response! Your kitchen is what convinced me to use the glass knobs, as I will have very similar cabinets.

Here is a picture of the pull I am thinking of using-

I was leaning towards the 6 inch pull, as I think a long pull would look nice. But of course, now I am second guessing myself and I was hoping to see a few actual installs to help me visualize.

If I used a 6 inch pull, I would probably only use one size on all drawers, even the longer ones. If I used 4 inch I would use two on the longer drawers.

Of course, there is an 8 inch option just to confuse me even more.....

If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will do so. I just put 6" ORB pulls on all of my drawers. (long, short, deep, shallow) They look fantastic! I was also a bit concerned... one pull or two, but I figured that I would be pulling on one pull and possibly mess up the drawers over time. I found that when going from 6 to 8 inches, the price increases exponentially!! I got mine from myknobs.com. Great quality.

I just ordered 6-inch and 4-inch pulls from RH (the style is Aubrey, I think). I'm planning to use one 6-inch on all drawers (my largest drawer is 30", smallest is 15") and the 4-inch on doors. I've stuck samples of both 6- and 4-inch up on doors and drawers and I think it will work but I'm second guessing myself too (I only have one of each size so it's a bit hard to tell what the overall look will be).

I'll get the pulls in a few days and could post pics then (at least of them taped in place).

Thanks sw_in_austin- It seems we all go through the same painful decision process! My cabinet guy just called and they are delivering today!! (they are over 3 weeks late). So, I will run by and get a 4 in and 6 in and post some pictures for feedback.

First, jen4268, congratulations on the arrival of your cabinets! I am so excited for you.

I'm also so flattered you like our use of the glass knobs. I love love love them, and I am really excited about seeing your kitchen (all of it!).

Well, this has been our real-world experience: the 4" pulls (two of them) look GREAT, but you pretty much have to use both of them. I mean, I know you don't have to use both pulls, that one pull can open the drawer, but, as mabnola wrote, I'm just worried about long-term stress on just one side of the drawer. And, in just this thread, there are the two of us (mabnola and me) who feel this way, so you might want to let that inform your decision. I'm just thinking of how easy it would be to just pull from the center of the drawer ....

PLUS, if you use two 4" pulls per drawer that also increases the price.

So I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth: looking around our kitchen I really do love the way the two 4" bin pulls per drawer look. However, I think we could have had an equally beautiful kitchen using different, larger pulls in the center of the drawers. And your pulls are really pretty and will feel good in the hand.

I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures of the 4" and 6" pulls, unless one screams out at you "I'M IT!" But I'm still looking forward to your pictures.

rmkitchen- I promise pictures! However, they only installed the cabinets and did not bring the doors today, they will come tomorrow... so close :).

I need to go look at your kitchen pictures again because RH is OUT of the 1 1/4 inch glass knobs until the end of July- I think I remember from another post that you used the 1 inch?

My cabinet doors are really tall so I am afraid that the 1 inch glass knobs will look to small, but I got one to try out so you can comment on that too-

I hate to be a killjoy and I am seriously making a face as I type this (because I hate to tell you) but ours are the 1.25" knobs. Maybe the 1" knobs will look perfect -- that would be ideal. But I have a sneaking suspicion you're right -- that with tall cabinets the 1" will not be right.

Oh no wait -- what about mrslimestone's kitchen? I want to say she has the 1" RH glass knobs .... Hmm.

Darn, and yours look like what I want. I would prefer to wait for the right knob then be unhappy with the wrong one. However, I am going to put them up to the doors tomorrow ( I have one in each size) and I will post the pictures to see what looks good.

I took a quick look at mrslimestone's kitchen and they look larger.....but I will look through a few threads to see.

What do you think of this glass knob as an alternative? These are1 1/4 and in stock at Top Drawer Hardware in polished nickel, at about the same price.

I think those knobs looks beautiful!

The link I sent for mrslimestone's kitchen is a dud in that she doesn't mention the size of her pulls ... but I think you're right. Looking at them again they do appear to be the bigger size.

I'd say "shoot" but I think with the knob you found at Top Drawer Hardware you'll be great!

Thanks for the update -- I'm having fun following you!

rmkitchen- thanks for all of the support. Here are a few pictures of the kitchen after two days of cabinet install- obviously a lot left to do but it is a start! We began the project back in February, so it is both with relief and a lot of anxiety that I am feeling at this stage.

Anyway, here is a picture of the window wall-

and of the hutch wall

and here is a picture of the 6 inch pull

and one of the larger 1 1/4 knob. The one inch way waaayyy too small

and here is a shot of my counter, antiqued nordic black, and the backsplash I am thinking of using in the hutch area.

and a picture of the desk area where I am thinking of using the same cup pulls that you did, just to change it up a bit. But I am not sure...

I think the 6 inch works, I kind of like the look of a longer pull.

Just a heads up...if you want the 8" pulls from Resto, they are being discontinued. Most styles in the 8" size are available at a reduced price and supplies of the one I wanted were very limited. I did get in under the wire though...20 on the way as we speak.

Here is my "old" kitchen. (closed on the house last week) The pulls were 6" plus a little. Style is vastly different from yours, but I thought it might help...

Yikes, thanks amysrg! I do think I want to use a few on my 30" drawers. I will go ahead and order them as I can always return them if they don't work out.

Jen, your kitchen is gorgeous! I love your cabinets! I also love the pulls and the knobs you chose. They are perfect with it. Can't wait to see it complete.

Can you hear the gasps from here? Your kitchen is WOW! You have done a stellar job and clearly you don't need our help -- your taste is amazing. Amazing.

I keep scrolling back up to look at your photos.

Even though I just wrote you don't need our help I'll still say:

-Yes, I absolutely agree with you about the 6" pulls. They look beautiful with your cabinetry (they make perfect sense, like peanut butter and jelly!) -- they're elegant and "fit" the frame of your drawer, both in terms of aesthetics and function. I think you'll really appreciate having the pulls for your drawers centered; that's a comfort thing. But in terms of how it looks, I wrote it before and I'll write it again: WOW!

-The glass knobs looks perfect, and I'm so excited you found the other source for the 1.25" knob!

-Your countertop and backsplash materials are fabulous. Thank you so much for including a photo of them so we can all see your vision. You are doing great!

-About the cup pulls: I think once everything is in place (and by this I mean the cabinets / appliances in) your gifted eye will tell you if, given the layout of your room, the cup pulls will make sense. I happen to love the idea to, as you wrote, change it up a bit. That cabinetry serves a different function and will have different things on it (meaning: not food prep), so I think to the eye having different pulls will make sense. Would you do them in the polished nickel as well?

Speaking of polished nickel, I want to tell you how easy it is to keep clean. I know there have been other posts talking about it's better to get brushed nickel because it won't show the fingerprints, etc. Well, I have two toddlers under age four, plus my husband and I are a bit messy as well (ahem), and you have to really, really look for the smudges / fingerprints. Honestly, the polished nickel does NOT show everything -- actually, hardly anything! The only times I've actually wiped them down is when I've taken photos of something in the kitchen for here on GW, and that's always been a preventive, just in case the peanut butter hands show up in the photos ....

I am so relieved I went with the polished nickel because I think it makes the room sing.

Your kitchen is beautiful! Thank you so much, jen, for the pictures. Loved seeing them. Loved them!

Thanks for the encouragement! I actually had a panic attack last night when the cabinets were in, thinking I had made mistakes, what had a done etc. Luckily since I been gaining most of my good info from this forum, I knew that it was normal and drank a glass of wine!

I feel much better today and ready to take one new decisions. So, 6 inch pulls with the 1 1/4 inch glass knobs and maybe cup pulls. I will go try those out this weekend.

I will start a new thread and post some pictures when a little more is done to share with all of those who have helped me so much. Thanks again!!!
