advice? or show me your inexpensive pulls?

10 years ago

Hi all-

I've tried posting pics all morning of our kitchen with no luck. We are starting our refacing project tomorrow and still have no pulls. I wasn't crazy about the couple of pulls they had to choose from so they will credit me $4/pull if I find my own. Very tough for indecisive me. Any help or pics of yours would be most appreciated.

This is our style of door, cherry in a darker color (but not as dark as espresso)

We have light hardwood floors, granite counters, SS appliances. Our house is fairly traditional so I don't want anything too modern looking. I like simple pulls, something that won't take away from the cabinet in a brushed/satin finish which also won't break the bank.

Any ideas? I know I shouldn't be stressing about pulls but I am already regretting my cabinet door choice so don't want to make another mistake on the pulls. Thank you!!!!

    I have these, and I like them a lot. Low price, decent quality. They come in 3.75", 5", 6.25".

    I got my pulls from Lowes and I still love them. I would try there.

    I'm sorry you regret your cabinet choice. Why? I think that style will look nice in the darker stain.

    funkycamper- I'm hoping I'll love it when I see it in the darker stain. Second guessing because everyone seems to be doing shaker style and I never had a chance to see a sample door in the style i ordered.

    mayflowers- I like your cabinet pulls. Thanks for mentioning the name.

    I have the same ones as Mayflowers and 5 years after installing them I still love them. I bought mine through Lee Valley.

    I'm using Amerock Revitalize for my remodel. They are only installed on the island cabinets so far, but they look great and seem very functional. I got the 6.25" pulls for 36" drawers and that seems fine, in case that's useful info.

    We have the Amerock Retivalize pulls and knobs as well. Love them! Everyone comments on how comfortable they are for your hand.

    Mine were super cheap at Overstock but very trad. Almost two years later, I am still pleased, and just used them again in our laundry reno. It was the only thing in the blasted kitchen that didn't cost us a fortune: Stone Mill

    We bought the Gliderite 10" from Overstock...very affordable but admittedly probably too modern for what you are looking for.

    I love your door style! It's just a little bit dressy and is a good choice for a traditional home and stained cherry. I have natural cherry with a beveled Shaker door. I used the ORB pulls but the brushed nickel will look great on stained cherry.

    I used Amerock Westerly Pulls and Knobs Satin Nickel. I ordered from Amazon:

    I also used Amerock Revitalize (ORB on white cabs). I almost went with their Highland Ridge instead but am so glad I didn't. The Revitalize project out more than most other pulls, so they are easier to grab, resulting in less wear and tear on your cabinets since you shouldn't end up grazing them with your fingers like you might with other pulls. They don't look like they are bigger though - they are just very elegant.

    We've just bought these Knobs. I'm in th UK but they are an American brand. The site I've linked isn't where we finally bought ours from, found a better price, but this is the most informative one. They do a drop pull and a t-pull too

    i agree with guy in the video, they are lovely and weighty. I also love the backplate and the fact that it isn't bigger than the knob.

    I have Hafele model #107.18.613, brushed nickel; purchased at Knobs-N-Pulls.com for $2.50 each with free shipping -- but the screws had to be purchased separately. I love their size, shape, and smooth curve. http://www.knobs-n-pulls.com/Hafele-10718613_p_26966.html They come in smaller and larger sizes too.
