Stacked Cabinets & Hardware Choices
I need to finalize my hardware choices for my new build. In my kitchen I have chosen a white shaker double stacked cabinet. I don't have a picture as they haven't been installed yet. The stacked cabinet door will have a single glass front. The hardware will be polished Nickel. I am considering putting the glass knobs on the upper stacked cabinet doors and the handles on the upper cabinet doors. Then handles on lower cabinet drawers and doors. I can't decide if this will look odd. I was hoping to go to the house and try out different options once cabinets are installed but my builder is telling me these should have been ordered weeks ago and I need to make a choice NOW. I really love the glass knobs and would like to incorporate them.

Hardware Choice - Natural Cherry Shaker Style Cabinets
Comments (3)We have cherry Shaker cabinets. Our style is neither traditional nor contemporary, but in-between. We have Top Knobs Princetonian pulls in their Brushed Satin Nickel finish, which has a pretty gleam, but doesn't show fingerprints. Also, my pet peeve is drawer pulls that have ends on them that catch on clothes, so I made sure to pick pulls that won't do that. DH's pet peeve is handles that aren't deep enough to get his fingers around - I was surprised when we went looked at hardware displays how many pulls are so close to the cabinet front that you can't get your fingers inside them (you may not have that pet peeve though, so your choices will be greater). Another thing we liked about the Princetonian pulls is that they come in a big selection of sizes from 3" up to 18-9/16" and everything in between. We ended up needing three different sizes in our kitchen for the different sized cabinets and drawers. I was also able to find a good number of websites that sold them at competitive prices (some of the other hardware I looked at was not sold as widely, and therefore was more expensive). We ended up buying them at qualitybath which I will link.

Comments (8)Wow - getting cabinets put in as I type.... The husband of KD here to supervise and once again, frowned at our choice of hardware. :( Now we are sitting here second guessing ourselves, but honestly can't find anything else we like. He suggested ORB, but the ORB hardware I've seen isn't very attractive. (Although, it's just stock stuff at Home Depot). We have 2 choices, don't install any hardware today OR go with the 7" stainless steel bar pulls... If we do decide to wait, how hard is it to drill our own holes for the hardware? Installers will not drive 40 miles back here to simply install hardware if we decide to wait and order something different....See MoreStumped with floor/hardware choices
Comments (4)Shannon and Sujarf Thank You for your opinions and thoughts. The closet is finished in two tones. Natural and what was supposed to be more brown, like the bathroom, but is redder in tone. I don't dislike it, it's just not what I wanted. The cabinets were a mixed stain 13 years ago. This was supposed to match. Sigh.... Here is a pic of the bathroom and bedroom with touches of green. The cornice has green pattern between the stripes, the "curtains" are green and the mirrors are green/gold. The bedroom drapes and skirt are green. The chair and pillow on the bed match the fabric of the bath cornice. In April, we had an interior hot water heater go out and flood several rooms. Our closet was one of them. I had wanted to take out the master bath marble, as it has not held up well to high traffic, and replace with porcelain. Also, to get rid of the shiny shower tile. But, I used my mad money to have built ins for the closet instead. One day, I will replace it. For now, I thought of doing something nice in the closet and matching the bath later. Here is an inspirational sample I saw yesterday.It is marble 8x12. I would like two colors of porcelain 8x12 and 2" inserts. It would "blend" with the existing bath for now. Here is a pattern I cut out of construction paper to size. It's not perfectly laid out (pieces kept moving, not totally strait, etc) I will go with the bronzy-copper drawer pulls on all drawers....See MoreIs this a good hardware choice for our vanity?
Comments (16)I appreciate North Texan's point about the faucet, and I would agree if your Jasper pulls had any squared-off, flat surfaces. But they don't. The pulls are round rods. I think that what you have chosen works well together. As for knobs, I am tempted to say to go with the "T" shape on the right, but I foresee the possibility to catch loose clothing on them. (I have what they call poor proprioception and run into walls and things, so get clothing caught on hook-like handles and pulls that have the end protruding past the post, so I am sensitive to that!) If that might be a problem, go with the middle knob. If the knobs will be mounted so low that they can't catch on belt loops and pocket edges, then the one on the right may be just fine. I, too, join the chorus of those thanking you for all the help you have given to me!...See MoreNidnay
