There has been a lot of conversation on this topic, if you do a forum search (loc at the bottom of the page) you'll find a lot of threads to read through.

I wouldn't do it any other way. If you used the same finishes, it would look too matchy matchy. I used a brushed nickel faucet with medium brown hardware.

My cabinets are off white. My faucet is a brushed stainless steel and my knobs and cup pulls will be Spanish Antique Pewter, which is a mix of iron and silver finish.

Thank you all. So the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."

Now I have a follow up question. The new window needs hardware and screen. We are painting the window trim similar to the cabinet color (an off white, brookhaven alpine white, which is a little grey). SO, if I go w/ oil rubbed bronze and ss knobs and pulls for the cabinets, should the window hw be stainless or oil rubbed bronze (it is pella, the color is actually "brown," but it seems close enough to the bronze.

TIA

hmm, now you made me stop and think. My window is directly above the sink. It has original hardware that is similar to ORB but more brownish (probably like your Pella). As I said my faucet is brushed SS and I have no plans to change the window hardware. So, I guess that makes 3 finishes in my kitchen :o

I think I would leave it brownish if your sink faucet is near your window.
