kitchen hardware revisited

I have finally, finally made a decision on my hardware for the kitchen. (To check out the drama with other hardware... check out these old posts <a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2010/10/cabinet-hardware-help.html">(1)</a> and <a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2010/10/feature-friday-hardware-fail-and-chaise.html">(2)</a>. It has been tested and now officially ordered! Hooray! The best part, is that I love them, and I got ALL of them for under $150 plus shipping! Thank you Home Depot- you are the bomb.com. Here are the three knobs/handles/pulls that I decided on: (yes... I'm using all 3)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">this pretty, and slightly oversized handle will be used on all of my tall, upper cabinets.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdJy6x0-hyH1lzzvck5LU4GkZaMtLtT_w3QUW_NSEfZlDp6uET9T7PFLm44xGRTL0MS31-GK21vWwv_UVvRLhTKO2Mybhn1KlcvU0Q-vIABSQ093m5AmA5z3sCAQQFGgdxxn2wyNzyc0ls/s1600/7074f61c-5fff-420b-9fd4-7a4bae364152_300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdJy6x0-hyH1lzzvck5LU4GkZaMtLtT_w3QUW_NSEfZlDp6uET9T7PFLm44xGRTL0MS31-GK21vWwv_UVvRLhTKO2Mybhn1KlcvU0Q-vIABSQ093m5AmA5z3sCAQQFGgdxxn2wyNzyc0ls/s1600/7074f61c-5fff-420b-9fd4-7a4bae364152_300.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> this voluptuous pull is shallow-- it fits perfectly on my super short and long drawers. I am SO excited about finding these!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2yongLH0LUZ1daHhFdXy2dG159JrohmQFbQqziKpOT3lclei3P9hq7q_NuBKYdfWCOR9xKWLwpSl8n1PYQiuXvNH4kAVdR8wDwIzIgOYb1QWEHjiK56PVKSxLfHiKKs9e242z1dIDZdf/s1600/be71de1a-3135-4985-a279-30eb1fb47013_300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2yongLH0LUZ1daHhFdXy2dG159JrohmQFbQqziKpOT3lclei3P9hq7q_NuBKYdfWCOR9xKWLwpSl8n1PYQiuXvNH4kAVdR8wDwIzIgOYb1QWEHjiK56PVKSxLfHiKKs9e242z1dIDZdf/s1600/be71de1a-3135-4985-a279-30eb1fb47013_300.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> and these are the cherry on top.... These little beauties will be on the short, upper cabinets as well as all of the lower cabinetry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr74XHnv3RXZGtEinRkMsR4aY6DejQAid21_tsh-M4x84QDFKxgYIkvJF3G_AVK-w6DSeWGe-f2M-bJcAhV1CBPCGubT86XK1Q1vYopIH-W_YrhyW8zlYtO3T13Ozu_BABc1vhbdgAnke6/s1600/befa5a44-cd41-49f4-88a2-91eb8289a353_300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr74XHnv3RXZGtEinRkMsR4aY6DejQAid21_tsh-M4x84QDFKxgYIkvJF3G_AVK-w6DSeWGe-f2M-bJcAhV1CBPCGubT86XK1Q1vYopIH-W_YrhyW8zlYtO3T13Ozu_BABc1vhbdgAnke6/s1600/befa5a44-cd41-49f4-88a2-91eb8289a353_300.jpg" /></a></div><br /><i>"What brought me to this decision?"</i> you ask. Well... I went back to the drawing board. I looked at what is currently living in my kitchen's abode that I love... yes, my <a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2010/08/fab-faucet.html">faucet and sink</a> combination. Why abandon that beautiful brushed nickel finish? I ordered a BUNCH of different samples (which is what I should have done from the beginning) and I loved these the most. The last little dangling pull is what sold me on this combination. I cannot wait to get them all in the mail! I will post as soon as I have them installed.<br /><br />Another problem I ran into... t<a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2010/10/cabinet-hardware-help.html">he knobs and pulls from Anthropologie</a> that would have put me and Mr.Hubbs in the poor house would have been too large for my upper cabinets. The knobs are a lot bigger than you would think.... thank goodness that option wouldn't have worked! Also-- I would have had to order a lot more knobs than handles... <i>which I wasn't crazy about</i>, because of the insane price!<br /><br />Thanks to all of my abode lovers for referencing tons of different places to get hardware! I poured over every knob and pull in this country, I'm sure! If you have any knob questions... let me know!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Tuesday!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLWGAKojEDkwkv64HVLv3_UaGRtJ12HOASZRnXvVpYtwgnoYSXx9Ju0Wo3j4I1fg50yWXStQknq0BIaFmDfJuZFDWn_oxvr68D2EN2nYh61nh9bNTVkFXUzxyKhJT7M-mXFmaxnJ-k5Bur/s1600/signature-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="50" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLWGAKojEDkwkv64HVLv3_UaGRtJ12HOASZRnXvVpYtwgnoYSXx9Ju0Wo3j4I1fg50yWXStQknq0BIaFmDfJuZFDWn_oxvr68D2EN2nYh61nh9bNTVkFXUzxyKhJT7M-mXFmaxnJ-k5Bur/s640/signature-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
