After looking at that site, I like the look. You and I are about 150 years apart in style but for that look, it's right. What color will your pulls be? They'll have to be black, won't they? If not, shiny chrome will dissappear on the white background? It would sure be easier to make a grap in the general direction of the door pull and be able to hit it on the first try ;-)

I did all my pulls horizontal based on seeing it in "theanimala's" kitchen. It's not a problem at all on the doors. You get used to it. I'm very happy I went that route.

Malhgold, thanks for posting that link. I love that kitchen. I had seen it when it first came out, but forgot that the handles were horizontal.

Pinchme, the pulls are stainless like the appliances and sink.

Thanks guys. My daughter (11yo) keeps telling me they will look like towel racks. Still undecided...

Mine are shorter and more block-y than round bars. I started to install them horizontally on the drawers and vertically on the cabinets, but they looked and felt all wrong. Much better all horizontal.
