We did that too - all our knobs and door handles are ORB as well as light fixtures. The appliances are white and sink is SS. Our faucet is Chrome/Ikea. Initially the faucet was only supposed to be temporary until I found something better/pull out, but it's grown on me and I'm not used to having a pull out and for $200 more, I just don't care anymore so it stays. I considered switching it this week to use the kitchen faucet for the new laundry tub.

I went with the chrome on my Kohler faucet partly because I didn't like the Brazen Bronze color that Kohler does for the vinnata faucet. It's not really an ORB finish and I wasn't positive I would like it in my red kitchen. The upcharge for the color was about $200 and my family was still placing smelling salts under my nose just to cover the $300 chrome faucet price. I decided that I would rather have $200 worth of new dishes and table linens for the dining room. Chrome faucets are long-lasting and easy clean too. Anyway, I indulged my longing for ORB with my cabinet pulls. And here is a shot of other side of kitchen, with my bank of cabinets. (Replaced floor, faucet, sink, appliances, and backsplash, but not the cabs) Red

Hi everybody! Thank you for all your support and Capegirl05 for your empathy! The countertops will be Yellow River granite with an ogee edge. I will have a beadboard chimney shaped hood over the cooktop which will match the cabinets. I also have an pot rack that I have had for quite a few years from William Sonoma that I would like to use over the island (just not sure how that will look but I thought I would try it since it's pretty and gives me more space in the cabinets for other pots and pans). I'm looking for a Country French/vintage look with the fluted apron front sink. I don't want anything super contemporary. We have a pine table made from old wood with farmhouse legs. I did buy a kind of transitional light fixture from Pottery Barn in polished nickel (with two glass pendants that hang). That seems fine with the chrome faucet. Today I went to the only place around where I could see the knobs but unfortunatley, they only had the antique pewter and I couldn't see the Tob Knobs satin nickel. I did see the pewter light and that I discounted right away as being too light gray. A good friend of mine was so kind to come with me. (We surrepticiously unscrewed knobs from the display board, put them on my cabinet I had brought, looked at them and then re-screwed them all without a screwdriver and returned them to the board!) My friend is a proponent of knobs on cabinets and the pulls on the drawers and he found Top Knobs M 351 in brushed satin to go along with the pull I like that I linked above. I will put it below. He and another friend feel I shouldn't do all pulls. He is voting for the satin nickel knob and pull. It is certainly a bit cheaper to put the knobs on the cabinets than pulls everywhere but I don't want that to be the decision maker. My other friend likes the antique pewter. It was interesting I noticed the same knob looked too dark in the antique pewter and I don't even mind the satin nickel knob with the antique pewter pull. I will have ss appliances, this pot rack over the island that is a darkish ss. So after today I can say pewter is out, but I'm still torn between the satin nickel (which I didn't see today) and the antique pewter that I did see. And of course all pulls or pulls and knobs. AYYYY. I guess I need some kind of reassurance that I haven't screwed everything up by having so many metals. Please keep the posts coming. They are helping me so much! Here is a link that might be useful: Top Knobs satin nickel knob

I like mixing up metals. Visually more interesting. I have a display in my front window that has RUST hardware on the light alder cabinets, stainless steel range and a chrome pot filler. No one ever notices this until I point it out. If everything was SS/satin nickel look, it would not look as nice, IMO. I also did a kitchen, satin nickel hardware, white appliances and ORB lighting. It looks amazing too!
