Hopefully what we are doing will help... We are getting a black granite (Diamond Black...like Black Galaxy only w/silver inclusions instead of copper & pink). But, our cabinets are cherry w/a mandarin stain & coffee glaze, so they're darker than yours. We had a similar debate in our house and we decided on brushed nickel faucets b/c we felt the ORB was too dark against the granite. As to other finishes...our pulls & knobs will be "Antique Iron" and the pendants brushed nickel. I was originally looking at black pulls & knobs but it was pointed out to me that the black is usually paint...and I do NOT want paint on my pulls/knobs (I had enough of paint w/our washed oak cabinets and the worn away paint!) I think you will be OK mixing finishes as long as you stick to two finishes (not counting appliance color). IMHO, too many finishes will look like everything was thrown together rather than planned. BUT...I lean toward being "matchy-matchy", so that may be my bias. HTH!

that little faucet is my instant hot faucet. It is a mountain plumbing 'little gourmet' another I looked at which is so similar was the waterstone annapolis I actually found the tank at costco for the lowest price. It is the "quick & Hot" which comes with a faucet but not acceptable for my kitchen ( chrome finish) I ordered the faucet alone Here is a link that might be useful: instant hot faucet

Yes, no one can look at both and take the time to be picky about it lol. You will be the ones who notice things more than anyone. And after the dust settles most of the time you wont even think about it anymore. Side note I dont think you need contrast on your cabinet pulls, a brushed brass would be really pretty with bronze..just a thought.

What color are the door hinges? What color are other fixtures in the house (lighting, faucets, etc.)? You don't necessarily have to match, but just wondering what you will be working with. My interior doors are all white with black hinges and very dark ORB knobs.
