Help! Can't decide on hardware color and suddenly need to!
Comments (2)I have white molding and trim and decided to go with ORB (and I love it). I think it somewhat depends on what look you want. I was going for a real traditional look. I think polished nickel will give you a more formal look. Black might be great, but it will be a very strong look. I used Baldwin. It may be more expensive than Emtek (depending where you get it), but I talked to a couple of decorative hardware stores that carry both, and both steered me away from Emtek due to quality issues. Having said that, my builder uses Emtek all the time and was unaware of any clients that have complaints. I did ORB throughout the house for door knobs, handles but mixed in other finishes for cabinet knobs and bath fixtures....See MoreCan't decide between white or cream cabinets
Comments (23)francoise47: Thank you so much for your nice commenst. That is exactly the vibe I wanted and it means so much to hear that it looks right! Thank you! colickyboy: I guess I should say more that I have had a few issues rather than complaints about the Brookhaven cabs and most of them were probably bad luck. Some doors and drawer fronts were delivered with black smudges and one was physically damaged in shipping. I think the packaging could be better, but my dealer says Wood Mode packaging is actually quite good compared with some other lines. Then some of the replacement doors did not exactly match the originals and some of the replacements arrived with cracks in the wood so they are being replaced yet again. I will say that BOTH my dealer and Wood Mode have been very supportive in getting it all resolved and actually today I feel much better as some of the replacement fronts were installed. I am sure there could be issues with any cabinetry and as long as the cabinets hold up then I will have no complaints. I guess I am seconding guessing a bit my decision to have the frameless particle board construction rather than plywood. Only time will tell if it is good enough and really I think they were well priced vs some other options. Again, my issues are being resolved and, as with everything else, it is the way issues are dealt with that counts. So far Wood Mode has stepped up to the plate and done a good job to make things right so I would not hesitate to recommend Brookhaven. I was also able to semi customize quite a few options which helped with my old house kitchen. I also really like that you get slab drawer fronts on the small drawers and frame and panel on the larger ones - not all the lines I looked at offered that and it was important to my overall vibe. I was distressed to read that recent comment here that Brookhaven is a 10 year kitchen.....I sincerely hope it is NOT :)! I DO LOVE the Brookhaven/Wood Mode French Vanilla color! I think I thought the Antique White might have had a touch of pink/peach to it and that I did not like as much. There are a lot of nice whites to choose from and I did really like the Brookhaven door fronts and hardware. Writing this all down reminds me of the reasons I selected Brookhaven in the first place! Best of luck with your white/cream decision....Wood Mode spoils you for choice on that front!...See MorePainting our bathroom vanity--can't decide black or white
Comments (22)Thanks so much! I am heading there tomorrow. Well I guess I will call first to see if they are open since its the 4th. The closest one is actually across the state line about 35 minutes away. I picked up some samples of the browns from Lowe's last night but had a sample of SW Jute Brown downstairs and am going to try it first on the master one but I want black in Brett's Bathroom. Yours is beautiful! Alicia...See More2 quotes for kitchen cabinetry and can't decide

2 years agoBrass or stainless. I have a feeling black is going to fade in popularity like shiplap one day. Pretty but for long term Brass or Stainless would be my choice. And as I say this all things fade in popularity some time or another. Do you have SS appliances? What are light fixtures? looking at the images below what do you love?
