Hi Athens! I sure hope it's going to look okay, because I'm doing pretty much the same thing. All of our exterior doors are full divided lights, including five sets of french doors. I'm not a big lever fan either, but according to the Marvin literature, the french doors require levers for the multi-point locks. So we'll have levers on all exterior doors and hexagonal glass knobs on the interior doors. I'm trying tie the two together by matching the metals as closely as possible and using simple rectangular back plates for all the door hardware. I reassure myself by looking at our 1920's house which has hammered bronze knobs on the exterior doors and glass knobs on most, but not all of the interior doors. Our 20s house also has bronze hardware on the stained wood doors which are in the entry, living room, den, and dining room. It has nickel hardware on all the painted doors which are in the bedrooms and the kitchen/breakfast nook. I think it looks great.

I think it depends upon the look you are going for. Nickle/chrome/stainless hardware would give you a more modern look, I believe. Whereas, orb would turn things a little more aged/classic. It would also allow your door hardware to tie in. You will deal with this same question when it comes to lighting. What did you choose there?

I am close to getting our pulls figured out. I ordered a few samples of my favorites, and narrowed it down; then it was to decide on sizes. I'm trying them out on our existing cabinets, but the style of the new ones won't be terribly different, so it should work out. We have lived without door hardware for 25 years, so putting anything on the doors looks odd to us. I'm still torn between vertical and horizontal on my uppers. I've gone through a lot of 2-sided tape, sticking pulls to doors! I'm going horizontal on the few base cabinet doors that I have - trash pullout, sink cab, lazy susan door, and that seems right to me, so I can't figure why it doesn't quite look right on the uppers. I have one drawer stack that's 34" wide; the top will be 2 17"-wide drawers, so I'm putting two pulls each on the deep drawers. I'm torn between putting one or two pulls on the sink tip-out (30" cabinet).

i like the cup pulls with the knobs....the cup pulls seem modern/streamline and the pulls seem more industrial which to me does not go together. the cup pulls and knobs would look great together, IMHO and i like the mixing of shapes i would do the island in the same graphite finish, not the satin nickel....
