Kitchen - stainless appliances -- with the black cooktop and glass on the micro and oven. The kitchen is all being redone -- with the stuff I have in the pic... and a stainless sink. the floor will be ceramic tile that looks like wood -- a medium brown tone with highlights only of the dark tone of cabinets -- so there is contrast. The floor tile will not have the "rustic" look - it is more of a glossy wood look finish. My style? Hmm... still trying to define it. I am eclectic! The house is only 12 years old... but we are "updating" things. I guess I would describe what we are going away from as a little be "country". I would like to be more "up-scale" / "classy"... and for sure more TIMELESS. However, we are middle class family with four kids.... so PRACTICAL is where it is at! I am not "trendy" -- I don't care at all for the current white cabinets look! I'd rather something that we love today but will still not be considered "dated" now or in the future. I hate my brass door levers -- those seem so "dated." The kitchen flows to dinette -- I have a pedestal style oak table with ladder back larger chairs. It flows to the family room. New carpet in very dark brown and with hints of black is going in. Our furnature is brown leather couches. THe fire place will be getting a new wood surround/mantle in the same maple and stain as kitchen cabinets. The stairs going up is not too near the kitchen... but on the plans is to open the basement stairwell up, removing the door, and have it open and railing. So, we would have the same black knuckle spindles there. That is right off/in the kitchen. Wall paint in this kitchen/family room area -- SW "Perfect Greige" -- almost gray, almost beige.

Sure! I just checked on Home Depot. If you type in the word crystal doorknob, on page 5 there are plenty of choices like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Grandeur-Fifth-Avenue-Bright-Chrome-Plate-with-Dummy-Chambord-Crystal-Knob-FAVCHM-20-BC/204964044 Ooops!!! Just saw this was 2 years ago! How did you solve your problem??

@Sandy Class There is no right or wrong answer really to whether you should use door knobs or door levers, however coordination of all door hardware should be considered. Sometimes the use of a door levers may be considered as more practical - especially with elderly or children as residents where their grip isn't tight enough to operate all kinds of door knobs. Function is an important aspect but in many homes aesthetics would play a vital part in the decision making process. In your case, personal preference would pay a large part but a mix of door levers and door knobs would not look wrong providing the style was correct to the interior and the finish was coordinating throughout!

The lowest price/quality hardware I would recommend is Emtek. They are carried by some specialty hardware stores. Their quality is GREAT. Anything lower feels more like apartment quality instead of the quality you might want for a home. I just specified the Helios Levers with the square rosette in flat black and the price was $75/handle.
