I like the varying sizes on the doors as you describe. I think it will look more in scale, I did similarly with my taller pantry door, etc.

I love your choice Jelly. They will look wonderful on your cherry cabs. I went with all 4 inch pulls except on my 36 inch drawers where I used 6 inch pulls. My pulls had a lot of heft to them and they were actually a good bit longer than the center to center measurement so I found that I easily could have used all 4 inch pulls. I think you will be extremely pleased no matter which you choose but I like your idea of the varying sizes. I can't wait to see your completed kitchen. It's going to be lovely.

Those are beautiful choices. You may wish to mock up a cabinet using earthquake putty or clear tape.

I have 42" uppers and used a 4" pull. I have 8" pulls on my pantry doors. The larger ones are very useful on the pantry -- they provide a better grip for the taller door.

Love those pulls!
I used all 5 inch pulls except on our pantry and large "cave" doors - used 8 inch pulls
I did use 2 pulls on my larger drawers but needed some symmetry as my drawer banks were variable.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I did as you suggested, gooster, and taped them to the cabinets. Surprisingly, they looked MUCH different on the cabinets than they do sitting on a counter top. I did not even notice that the tops had a convex curve to them ... I thought they were straight! And unfortunately, the light reflecting off them really accentuates the curve and it is not quite the look I was going for. So, it is back to the drawing board for me.

For anyone else going through the knob/pull selection process, actually putting them up on the cabinet is extremely helpful. Even when my DH held them up to the cabinets, I did not notice that the top edge was curved outwards. Yes, they are still lovely pulls, just not the pulls for me. Sigh.

Funny, I noticed the curve right away in your picture!

Here's a link to one similar to yours with rounded corners, but it only comes in 3" and 5" sizes. If you decided to do 2 pulls on wide drawers, they might work out just right.

I ordered another pull in the same category (South Bay), but with just an arch instead of "legs". It does have a little bit of a curve, and I thought they looked great when I stuck them up on my old cabinets. They are nice and heavy, with a great feel.

if you dont like the curve in the pull you have perhaps a pull like the one below that laurat88 used in her gorgeous kitchen would work for you. The pull is from the Sorrento Collection. It comes in 3 styles: tapered, curved and mod. The staight version is the "mod". It comes in a variety of sizes and finishes. I saw lengths up to 11 inches. you have to scroll through the pages on the link below to find the mod version and the different sizes.

Thank you everyone! It is not where the pulls curve in at the center (like an hourglass) that bothers me ... I LIKE that ... but it is rather how the pull curves outwards into a convex shape ... that part doesn't work for me. The same is true of the Sorrento pulls that Badgergal posted. They are straight along the bottom edge, but the top edge has a curve to it. I am still hoping to find something that is completely straight on the top edge. Once I taped the Aspire pulls to the cabinet, the lighting really accentuated the curve, making them look more like an "arch" pull.
