i've never heard of putting bin pulls on cabinet doors. or maybe that's not what you're doing and i misunderstood?

What looks good with bin pulls to match my cottage/farmhouse kitchen, or any other ideas? Most of the long pulls are pretty sleek and modern looking to me. I don't think I want two bin pulls on each drawer.

these come in four different sizes and their sheer "basic" quality would allow them to blend in well with pretty much anything, i think.

I was at a home last night where they had bin/cup pulls on all of the drawers and glass knobs on all of the cabinets. It looked really good! I think the blue glass knobs will go well with your granite : ) I've seen many pictures of long drawers on this forum with 2 bin pulls and they look great. There are different lengths available in pulls (3",4", 5" or 6"). I guess you have to figure out what looks best to you...proportion wise.

Here is a link to the bin pull I am going to be using. It's from Restoration Hardware and called Gilmore. It comes in six sizes : 3,4,6,8,10 & 12". They feel very "heavy" "sturdy"...possibly made of brass?

Two pulls on a 30" drawer is not excessive, and in fact is easier for your when the drawer is full. If they were my drawers, that's what I'd use. I'd also center pulls on those cottage drawers on the bake center, and then put your knobs on the outside edge of the doors (in the corner). I think blue glass would be fabulous with those gorgeous counters. Between knobs and pulls of these styles (like the one laurie pictured) you don't need much else to acheive the look you're going for. I certainly wouldn't do very long pulls...too modern in any material.

Ok but seriously...just five different selections isn't much :oP I have 26 in the kitchen...you have a long ways to go to be considered excessive.

I agree that you shouldn't use bin pulls on doors. I think it would be awkward to open a door with a bin pull as opposed to a knob or a regular pull -- especially uppers. Use the cobalt blue glass knobs on your doors -- the combination with the bin pulls and your granite sounds beautiful! Also, IMO, you should use two bin pulls on any drawer that is 30 inches or wider, and/or where you have two cabinet doors below the drawer. I used three different kinds of hardware in my kitchen: bin pulls, suitcase pulls and knobs. The pic below shows all three. (The suitcase pull is on the trash pullout). Also, on every drawer 27" or wider, I used two pulls, with each pull centered over the doors below. Good luck!

amsunshine- Your kitchen looks great! I was wondering what size bin pulls you used and what are the lenghts of the drawers (including the tilt out under the sink)? From your photo in the post above, everything looks well proportioned.

I'm the original more-is-more girl, but I wouldn't use the cobalt blue knobs because I believe they will detract from the blue of the granite, rather than drawing the eye to the deepest blue parts. JMHO. How about clear crystal? It's sparkly, but not competitive. (I say this as someone who has green crystal knobs and green cabinets in her laundry room.)

I have 5 different types of hardware in my kitchen and it looks great--it adds just a bit of interest. They are about the same color as the majority cabinet color.

Laurie 2008: Thanks for the compliments! My bin pulls are from Top Knobs, the somerset collection. They are 3 inch centers, but their length is 4 and 5/8 inches. My sink cabinet is 36". The drawers on the end are 18 inches wide. On the other side of my kitchen, I have two bin pulls on a 27 inch drawer and on a 30 inch drawer. I think it looks well-proportioned as well! :-) HTH!
