Thanks to all for the advice so far. For anyone else trying to make the "mixing cups and pulls" decision, I found a great OLD post that included pictures of another kitchen where both were successfully mixed. Unfortunately, I can't post a link because it is archived, but it can be seen in the public clippings of user "abananie" (about 3/4 way down the page.) The kitchen pictured belongs to "jsweenc". So -- as of now, I am thinking of keeping cups on desk drawer and sink drawer, with pulls on all other drawers and knobs on doors. One thing that still bothers me is that most of the "mixed" photos I have seen tend to mix cup pulls with very simple, modern pulls. My pulls are more traditional/transitional (see link above) -- will this be a problem? I am visiting the KD to make the selections TODAY, so any advice/opinions are welcome!!

Did any of you do one pull and wish you had two? I have one pull on all drawers, no matter what the width. I have 27s, 30s and 33s. Not even for one second did I regret going with one only. I'm into convenience, form following function, etc. I don't know if a drawer would get messed up if you only pull one when you have two installed, since you're always pulling from the one side, but I don't want to find out the hard way. Anyway, I like the look of one pull only. So for those trying to decide, I'd say to ask yourself the following questions: -- Do I like the look of two better than one? -- Do I like that look enough to make it worth having to use two hands to open the drawer every time? Only you can answer for yourself, there's no right or wrong answer except as it applies to your own situation. I will say that having had kitchens where two hands were required for things that could have been accomplished with one, there's just no contest.

Yes, go with one centered pull. You don't want to be forced into a situation where you can only open the drawers with two hands (who ever has TWO free hands?!) or the drawer/glides will just end up ruined. Amerock has a lot of other cabinet pulls (did you consider appliance pulls?) that are beautiful.

Sorry for the unintentional mystery everyone! I have been clearing my counters and taking pictures to try to be helpful on several threads on GW and got tired of it, so I figured what the heck, I'm actually living here, right! Anyway, my marble island is in it's 12 month of use and was etched practically on day one, and weekly since then. After my daughter shook the Tropicana OJ jug (the one that USED to be 64 oz that they redesigned with a fancy flip lid that isn't easy for kids to get to fully close) and OJ flew all over the island, I gave up with babying and use it almost without care. Cheeseburgers were on the menu last night. Anyway, you who guessed cheese are right; it is grated cheddar. The plate is one of Villeroy & Boch "Design Naif" patter. There actually isn't anything on it but the painted scene. This pattern is actually a quaint set of six different scenes on each plate. I'll show you a pic with all 6 scenes to satisfy any curiosity. On the black meat tray is some unused raw burger meat that I ended up making my dogs do tricks for after dinner. There are a couple knives and, yes, a tape measure since I was getting info to answer someone's question about the dimensions of something on my island. To the right you see some thin slices of bread that I threw out. I used Zomick's challah rolls for our burger buns and they are a bit high. To make them easier for my son to eat a burger in, and to make them slightly less carb-ful for myself and husband, I sliced out the middle. To the right of that is what's left of a large, delicious tomoato that I made a sliced tom/mozz/basil salad with. I know, horrifying that a cut tomato would be on my marble. However, we're planning to have the island honed this summer due to all the etching it has received, so it sort of doesn't matter too much. Sorry for the hijacking this thread!!!! OP - a couple of things. First, RH often has sales. If you can wait it will be well worth it! Second, buy MANY more pieces of hardware than you think you will need. Lucky for me that there is a RH store near me bc I kept having to go back, at least 5 times, to get more. I counted with my installer, three times, before shopping and bought one extra of each. Some went missing, some were defective, a few were the wrong finish and labled wrong - stuff happens. The good thing about RH is that they have a wonderful return policy. The bad thing about possibly less expensive other retailers, especially online retailers, is that they may only give store credit or may charge a restocking fee, plus online you have to pay shipping to make a return. Also, buy a sample of whatever you are leaning toward before committing fully. Sometimes what you see and what you hold and feel are two different things. Last, yes RH was a bit expensive, although I saw much more expensive as well. But, they had the variety of sizes I wanted and they feel wonderful and are very well made. FWIW, I found some bin pulls on ebay that worked fine for a mudroom bench we made. Up close they are relatively a bit cheap looking, but they are functional and look fine from a distance. Best of luck to you!!! Feel free to ask any questions if I can be helpful! Time for me to payback GW for all the amazing help I found here!
