I, too, love, love painted black doors!! Due to the colors in our home, we ended up doing dark brown/black doors (Pratt & Lambert Obsidian). I love it, although I still wish I had black doors. One day, when we are repainting the house, I will choose colors that go with black! So, to your question. I would do all the same hardware, whether ORB or brushed nickel, etc. I also would do all doors the same color. I went through the same process - thinking only the first floor with brown doors but I was convinced by a colorist to treat all interior doors with the same color treatment so all the doors are brown. I don't regret it for a minute! I really love the look. Here are a few pics - all hardware is brass, as that is what was here. I love the color but I am not crazy about the style. One day we will change them out. French doors: My den:

rdas...don't have anything in yet, I'm hopefully starting demo next week. My cabinets are going to be BM simply white (thanks to lesmis (kat)). It's a nice white that is a touch warm, so that I don't have a "bright white" kitchen...this is key since the kitchen has good light with south facing windows. It also looked good with both yellow and blue paint, which is what I'm going to paint the walls in the surrounding rooms. The white will be used throughout the common areas of the house for trim and doors. My tentative choice on backsplash tile is a Daltile. It's called winter storm...the sample piece I have is much grayer than the link. Here is a link that might be useful: Daltile Blue Subways

Why not do black instead and if you were my client I would have tried very hard to steer you away from black appliances all from one maker.

I have a similar question that I hope is appropriate to ask on this thread.... I'm trying to decide between a matte black kitchen faucet, or Delta's champagne bronze. I have Taj Mahal counters atop Walnut stained island and Dynasty Magnolia (taupe white) painted cabinets that surround the island; windows are matte black and all the appliances are stainless steel. I was going to match the cabinet hardware to the faucet and then do either the matte black, or champagne bronze for fixtures. I'd appreciate opinions on whether to go with the matte black, or delta champagne bronze color for faucet, hardware and/or fixtures. I'm concerned about using too many different metals....stainless appliances and black windows are a done deal as well as the Taj Mahal quartzite counters and cabinets.
