Tough Decisions

I know that it is only hardware but selecting the handles and knobs for our cabinets took a long time for us to decide on.  First off we have four different cabinet colors between the bathrooms and kitchen, then we also had to keep the granite in mind.  I had to pick out all of the hardware online so I was not able to see it in person with the cabinets and granite which made it more challenging.  Really a small detail like this could throw off the entire look of the room so I really wanted to pick hardware that reflected the period in which the home was built.  Our home was built in 1956 so keeping this in mind I think that we did a good job in keeping with the style of the home.

This is the handle and knob for the kitchen.  We will have medium/dark hardwood floors, vanilla cabinets, cream subway tile back splash and a light creamy granite with speckles of light brown.

 

In the "kids" bathroom we will have white tiled floors, white cabinets, white with swirls of gray marble counters, and white subway tile in the shower back splash with a glass gray tile border.

I chose the same hardware for the master and guest bathroom.  The master will have vanilla cabinets with a light brown glazed border, hardwood floors and a dark cream granite counter with dark swirls of brown.  The guest bathroom will have espresso cabinets, with a light gold granite with speckles of brown and flecks of garnet.
