Help, please!

We are finalizing details with our KD and need to pick the cabinet hardware. Our kitchen cabinets are cherry with a honey finish. Our granite counters will be verde butterfly. Our appliances are stainless. Our sinks are black Blanco silgranit. Faucets are brushed nickel. We haven't chosen light fixtures yet.

Our floor is ceramic tile which is the Citiscape line (Valley Green color) - looks great with the cabinets and verde butterfly, but haven't been able to get a good photo of it and the online photos I've found don't show all the colors in it. It is a medium-dark gray-green color with small veins of the cherry wood color throughout.

I like modern handles, but DH isn't as crazy about them. I thought I wanted brushed nickel handles, as that is what our faucets will be, but didn't like the look of the brushed nickel against the cabinets as well as I thought I would. It didn't seem warm enough, even to me, and I am definitely a cool color girl through and through.

I need suggestions about which handle finish you all think would look good. The KD suggested a brass finish, but we didn't like those at all. By the end I think we were both leaning toward oil rubbed bronze or black handles.

I'm open to suggestions of handle style also. I prefer the long pulls (long enough to comfortably get my hand in it and am not so crazy about knobs, but a couple of my cabinets may need to have knobs. I don't really care for cup pulls. (Why is is always easier to say what I don't like?!)

Someone called our house style European, if that helps anyone.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Photos?

Thanks!
