Maybe make contrast your friend? Fill the holes with these?

I have slab front drawers, walnut. I wanted the top drawer's pull centered and the lower drawers to have the pull 1/3 down. I walked into the first cabinet down with them all centered. It isn't what I wanted but it's fine. I let it go.

The cabinets sound gorgeous! Do post an image if you can.

Instead of having new drawer fronts made, you could send these back to your cabinet maker and ask him to fill and hide the holes. He may be late on other things but this would take him very little time, and would look much better than anything you're going to try.

I'd definitely talk with the cabinet maker. Just slapping a filler in their could prove to be worse, because filler takes stain differently than the wood. Granted, it takes stain, but often with pretty ugly results.

Given the weathered finish, having hole patches isn't disastrous. If you were going for perfect, "weathered" would be an odd choice to start with. I'd really love to see a picture!

I'd talk with him, ask his help, and ask how much to repair them. He's got the exact stain used, the brushes, etc. If he won't do it, at least get his advice and products.

I've stripped cabinets that are cherry and some are oak. I weathered the white oak (Varathane 'Sunbleached' then Minwax' 'Provincal' topped with Minwax 'Jacobean.) and the change from knobs to handles of course left holes. I just flat out ignored them since this look is "reclaimed." I like the specks and dings, so these holes are nothing. I haven't decided how to treat the cherry, so the holes are just there, under the handles. I'm surprised how those don't bother me, either!

I digress. The first step is to (beat your husband silly) talk with the cabinet maker.

Or decide if you can live with it. I know, just from your description, I wouldn't want to.

It's hard to say without seeing photos. I would either live with it or get new drawer fronts.

I decided to change the location of the toilet paper holder attached to my vanity. I practiced on a sample of the wood/stain. I tried a number of fill options and settled for the least noticeable. Fortunately it's on the side of the vanity, towards the rear and I have to look for it to really see it. However, if it were on the front of the cabinet, it would be unacceptable.

Joseph Corlett, that is right!! I told the cabinet installer, who has years and years of experience, that he should know to always check with the wife!!

I will post a pic later. They are lovely cabinets. Weathered is not a good description for them IMO.

I would live with it. I'd be way more bothered by sloppy hole repair than having the handles centered and I wouldn't pay to have them remade either. At least I'd live with it for a while and see if it really did bother me like I thought it would.

Centered is fine even though that is not your preference. I'd have them keep going with this. After a couple of weeks you will quit noticing...unless you move the pulls and patch all the holes, in which case you may notice the repairs for years because it will be hard to get the finish fixed perfectly.

I'd live with it. Even if repair looked OK initially, would not be happy if in 5 years those repairs became noticable.

Thanks for all the input. I'll see. Lower cabs are what are bothering me. They don't line up across the run in this area. Other parts line up but are centered.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely.
I have to tell you, from this very OCD, Anal, Symmetric-fanatic, and if I didn't know any better, they look great.

Leave them. They look great! As was already stated, you won't notice after living with it for awhile.

They look good where they are.

I wouldn't touch those...they look great. With your cabinet finish, I think it would be really hard to make filler blend in perfectly.

I would leave them. That's how mine are, and I think it's very common. When I googled "trash pull out" all but one I saw with a similar set-up looked like yours. I think if you raise the bottom two the different distance between them will look more "off". It looks great!

They look great. I just checked mine out and they are the same. Never even thought about if before.

OK well that is good to know. Thanks for posting those links. That is helpful. All the others line up, centered in the drawers. That is not how I wanted it either but I will think harder about leaving them alone. There have of course been other things not done how I wanted them, and this somehow has tipped me over the edge LOL. I need to just get over it, I guess.

It's easy to be reactive in the middle of a remodel with new things happening frequently, both good and bad. Soon it will be done and shortly thereafter you will be over all of this. In situations like this I sometimes try to put things in perspective: if this was the worst thing that ever happened in my life, I'd be very fortunate.

Not to say you shouldn't have been concerned about this but, in the grand scheme of things, drawer pull location is definitely a first world problem :-).

Best of luck with everything else!

Thank you! Agreed - when this is all done it will seem very trivial.
