Sorry, ORB = oil-rubbed bronze! :) Our backdoor hardware is oil-rubbed bronze, which I hated at the start of our remodel, but which actually looks more at home now that it's done--it plays off of the black fixtures, I think. (We also replaced the door with a stained rather than painted door, which helped a lot too--so rather than "random finishes," we have the nickel on the cabinets, the ORB on the stained door, the brass on the painted doors/windows, and the black on the lights and accents (stove grates are black here too). Plus I totally forgot about the stainless hood, so yeah, we are not sticklers for matching finishes! (We do also have an older house, though, which I think gives us a little more freedom for finishes to vary than a newer house where everything was matchy-matchy to start with--even our windows and doors with original hardware vary in that some of the hardware and hinges have been painted over and are now "white" and some of the hardware is still brass.) Our kitchen is not open to any room except our breakfast nook, so we did match the fixture finishes there. But I don't think we needed to do that, necessarily. I would wait on your dining room fixture till the kitchen is done and see how you feel about matching versus not at that point.

My french doors are very close to the kitchen. If I were to go with coordinating the ORB kitchen cabinet hardware with the french door hardware, my concern is that the ORB door hardware I have seen is more black then brown. THe ORB I have in the kitchen is a deep bronze (brown) and that's what I prefer. SO my question is there an ORB door hardware that is more brown than black and if so which manufacture is it?

You can use spray on lacquer from any hardware store to coat the hardware and keep it shiny.

Search for a recent thread about cabinet hardward, one of the designers (Jan, I believe) recommends limiting yourself to three styles/sizes: for example, a knob, a pull of one size and then a pull of another size. Appliance pulls would not count. I think she's right about limiting types and sizes, particularly in your case, a kitchen with two cabinet finishes. Brass or gold would look beautiful on both white and wood.
