Cabinet Knobs

The finalist in the cabinet knobs is this lovely little guy. It's Liberty Hardware's P15569-SN-C 32mm Domed Raised Panel Knob.

Not as ornate as the original one I liked (see it here) but it has some detail without being fussy.

We installed one to see how it looks... so here it is in its natural habitat :)

Cabinet Doors and More Cabinet Doors

Sorry to be so long overdue with the posts. There hasn't been a lot of action in the kitchen, but we have had 2 days of cabinet door installs, today and a week ago Friday. Let's start with the first ones (all solid doors):

(To the right of the sink)

(In the baking area)

(Crown molding installed in this section)

(Left side of buffet)

(Right side of buffet)

And the second set installed today (all 8 glass doors)

(to the left of the sink, close up so you can see detail hopefully!)

(Above the wine & beer fridge)

Thinking about Drawer Pulls and Knobs

We need to pick hardware for the kitchen or once we have drawers and doors we won't be able to open them!

Here are some I like. The big question is do we match the other metal in the kitchen (all stainless steel) or go with something lower contrast? The finish on the wood is pretty dark... and stainless is hard to keep clean (at least the front of our refrigerator is turning out to be my nemesis in that department).

I like this antique nickel knob

but am not a fan of the matching pull:

Here's a Brushed Nickel pull I do like:

Check it out here.
Overall Length: 5-3/8 in. (136mm)Projection: 7/8 in. (22mm)
It echoes the handles on the appliances.

Similar one that is rounder/smoother:

Overall Length: 5 in. (127mm)
Projection: 1 in. (25mm)

Cabinet Shelves

Oh the little things make me happy... and today the little things are shelves in the cabinets!

And these are the doors that will go on the buffet (after they're stained and have glass). Hard to tell in this picture, but they look really great!!
