I would use a solid looking and feeling but plan polished silver pull (nickel or chrome). If everything is highly decorative, you highlight nothing really. The highly decorative tends to work within the context of some contrast, imo.

I agree palimpsest. That brings up another point- do you think these fancy pulls will be too busy w/ my kitchen, since there's already a lot going on?

Where is that coordinating knob from? That may be the thing i'm looking for for my knobless bedroom closet door!

Never mind, I found them googling that part num!

Whoa, they are spendy!

But cute!

Marcydc if you do want them, my exhaustive search has revealed that bellacor has them for $40 as part of their sale going on until tomorrow, which is considerably cheaper than everywhere else... Still super spendy, but slightly less so than most places.

I know you didn't ask me, but I would say that these may be too much with everything else going on in your kitchen. Some elements must be quiet to let the special elements shine.

I think palimpsest makes a good point...it's kind of like a basic black dress to showcase spectacular jewelry or simple pearls with a more ruffled, floral dress.

Your kitchen is going to be so beautiful...I think I'd be tempted to keep the hardware very simple, yet elegant.

I love the idea of the big silver pulls, on almost everything, with maybe the 'fance key looking hardware' on the glass doors of the china area :)

So consensus is too busy? Even if I just use a few of the china cabinets and keep the rest of the hardware extremely simple?

Beagles- Do you have a hutch or buffet in the breakfast room or sunroom? That might be a possibility, where they would tie in with the kitchen, but really showcase that special piece :)

Lavender the breakfast nook and sunroom are all windows- no cabinets in there. No room :(

agree completely with palimpsest. i would definitely skip those and select a much simpler, knob or pull.

They are indeed ornate, but I think you really like them, and that's what matters. I would get just the knobs and use them on the glass uppers on your china cabinet. Everything else can be plain.

If its something that will make you smile each time you use them , thats what I'd do.
