Vintage-style pulls for shaker creamy cabinets
Comments (10)I think you should go for them- they are beautiful and unique. I am a firm believer in doing something fun for pulls. When I'm in a kitchen that does fun pulls, it personalizes it a bit more. I'm not sure why your kitchen is considered Victorian (I mean this in the humblest way, I trust it is considered that, but just in my ignorance of current kitchen style wouldn't have categorized in that way) but that style of pull would definitely fit with shaker style. It wouldn't fit with 1930's style which was more stream-lined and art deco. If you wanted to do that, although I know you don't like them, I would do green glass pulls (you can actually do green glass handle pulls too). The link below is to a kitchen that has similar cabinets and counter top and goes 30's. If you were going Victorian, I actually think the style would work with it, while it wouldn't be considered high Victorian, remember Victorian style spanned a long time and includes arts and crafts and eastlake is part of this category. Also remember, if you look historically, the Victorians didn't paint much of anything white- they couldn't get a real white color, it was more brownish because they used Linseed oil as a mixer- so again, go with what you love and don't fret about matching. It's impossible to do accurately. Yeesh sorry for the mini-history shpeil (speil? speel?) but that's one of my favorite parts of decorating. Bottom line, you love them and you'll love having them, so I say run with it! Here is a link that might be useful:...See Moreshaker-style drawers and cup pulls
Comments (8)I asked a very similar question the other day, but not nearly as clearly as you did. I appreciate seeing everybody's pictures. Mgkinz, I don't fully understand your last post. A raised panel versus a shaker panel is more or less just a case of how much profile there is on the panel. In neither case, is the door one piece of wood. A "true" shaker-style door is actually a raised panel turned backwards, with the raised side facing in. A slab door or drawer, however, is a solid piece of wood. Plywood is generally more stable (and heavier) than solid wood, so if I had a choice of materials for a flat panel, I might very well prefer plywood. I would prefer a reverse raised panel to plywood, however, since I think it is more authentic. On the subject of drawer fronts, my KD recommended five-piece drawer fronts because they are less prone to racking/twisting then slabs, especially on the big drawers....See MoreDrawer pull placement on shaker style drawers
Comments (13)I did shaker fronts on all areas 9" or taller, and slabs on the rest. I thought full shaker would look too busy since I have some small drawers. We have cup pulls on all drawers and knobs on all doors. Here's where I get stupid. :) (Not really, we're building and don't move in until this week and exact placement of hardware is eluding me right now...) I think our cup pulls are centered on slab fronts and rail-mounted on shaker fronts. I have some pics at home and will be happy to share this evening if you're interested. Now it's bugging me that I can't remember!...See Morewhich kitchen pulls with shaker cabinets?
Comments (3)Turned round wooden knobs have been pretty much the universal pulls I've seen in the Shaker villages I've visited (most of them). The one's you picture look way too "worldly" to be Shaker, to my eye....See Moreblublublubly
