provide pictures with your search thus far. surprising to see knobs on upper section when I found these few images. Handle is an option but they didnt place a very large one in third pic. with your drawer sizes looks as tho a single handle will suffice. .

I went to Build.com(which is now called something else) and bought one each of 3 or 4 cabinet pulls/knobs then just had spouse pinky hold them in place. Figures out what I wanted then ordered them and sent the “no options” back to get credit.

What sherry52 said--you definitely want to touch handles or pulls before committing. I would get a scrap piece of wood and mount them, so you can feel what the clearance from handle to drawer front is.

Try to find a local store that has displays of a few different brands, so you can feel a lot of things at once. Some brands, like Top Knobs, have very consistent sizing and spacing across most pulls. So if you decide you hate something after install, it's easy to swap without drilling new holes.

Your cabinets are GORGEOUS and you did a great job. I feel like ORB has had its day, and satin is a big no - I'd do polished nickel but yes, buy some samples = it's worth the sunk cost.

Have you considered knobs or pulls in the cherry of your cabinets?

Thank you all, so much. Yet another piece of painter's tape ripped today when I pulled out a drawer and the tape is running low...I've got to decide before I buy another roll to use, LOL.

We bought a few samples of this sort of thing (pulls, not knobs in black, ORB and brass):

I also like the idea of finger pulls (drilling only through the back side of the face). I also really like the recessed handles, but there's no way we're not going to mess those up. I had not considered wood, but it's a good idea. Thanks!

kandrewspa, the fear is so real! I hope you find just the right hardware for your master bath!

mcarroll16, great idea to mount them on a scrap! We haven't tried that and I'm concerned about fingernail scrapes on the cabinet surface so seeing the clearance first hand is a great idea.

I mounted some samples on the old drawers we were throwing out, and I'm really glad I did. The ones my husband fell in love with turned out to have terrible clearance. Forget fingernail scapes--it was knuckle bruising. But I learned that lesson the hard way when I bought cheap knobs for a bathroom cabinet. Those stupid things had a narrow clearance that trapped fingers between knob and cabinet and then cut your fingers as the door swung open. Always test the feel!

I'm in love with the new pulls I got from Hickory Hardware, Style # H076017-SN, 128mm, "Twist" in Satin Nickel. The metal has a shinier finish than some satin nickels, and that makes it look more like the jewelry it should be. It looks great as a cabinet pull, and also as a drawer pull. Your new cabinets look pricey... definitely get several options and try them out on another scrap of wood before choosing! I would probably get the same color and the same style pulls for both of your wood finishes, to pull the look together.

I havent bought these yet, but I also have an 1890's house and am looking into some old style pulls and hardware on this site:

Lisa Leone, nice! I like these! What size are your cabinets/drawers and what size pull are you looking at? It's hard to get a good sense of the appropriate proportions. Thanks!

mcarroll16, yes, I remember those types of knuckle-trappers from when I was a kid!

Connie Bundy those are lovely, thank you!

Ah sorry I'm just in the research phase myself and have no idea what sizes are correct

My daughter has those Charlotte pulls in the kitchen of their 1904 home. They feel very nice in hand and have held up well.

Satin nickel / stainless has not " had its day "

Personally ? I favor Top Knobs for their quality and their breadth of finishes/styles/sizes in almost any selection

I like all Pulls, and limit the sizes to two. Consider PLACEMENT carefully on those tall upper doors.

I don't see finger pulls as a great look with your cabinet style.

No matter what you select? Cabinet hardware is installed via a template you create. It is BEST done with the doors off. Or get a VERY good handy guy.

You are going to have to lose the fear AFTER you go to a shop with a broadly displayed range of hardware, where you can test the feel as it is ALREADY mounted on sample board Love the Ascendra pulls. Wonderful heavy feel, nice clearance too. Try a good kitchen cabinet shop - high end.

You can find many of the Top Knobs on Amazon for testing, also Wayfair.. "Honey Bronze is a warm burnished brass, Three others below. Six or nine inch? Usually works on almost EVERY spot

I use sticky tack to mount the handles for viewing and placement, it doesn’t work for temporary opening. You can use different handles for the finished wood piece and treat it more like furniture.

Your cabinets are stunningly beautiful! I love that soft brass, but I might choose something classic that will never go out of style.

dsimber, thank you! We searched for a long time & are happy with the cabinets. We don’t want to renovate again any time soon & want finishes that are timeless & classic…what do you recommend?

Kate, great idea re: sticky tack. Thanks!

JAN MOYER, thank you. Those pulls are lovely!

Ascendra in just about any finish, is as timeless, classic as you will find. The weightiness is wonderful. They are a comfortable handle. They acknowledge the crisp detail of your cabinets. Get a couple tested. Then get drilled and move on. Hardware attachment is preferred by cabinet makers to be done with all faces not installed. But? Get a picky/handy guy. You don't need to DIY everything

Once you find a sample that has the right projection (i.e. enough room for the hand of the largest member of your household) look at that number and only look at handles with that projection. My husband has large hands and we tested probably 15 handles that were “high” enough off the wood doors to be comfortable for him.

The simple design you’re exploring is great for those doors. Buy different finishes and different amounts of sharpness at the curve. Maybe the sharper angle looks better to you. Maybe a softer curve. But make sure you are only testing comfortable ones for everyone in the family.

Standard sizes can be changed once you drill the deadly holes. You can change your mind about hardware in a few years with no damage to the cabinets.

If proportions are good and the style works in your home, I like the one posted by Lisa Leone.

I also like those suggested by Jan Moyer. I went to the Ascendra site and this:

I love brass and think it would be beautiful with your wood. I only hesitate because of my experience during the last two decades. Around 2000, I chose brass. Loved it for a long time. Then it became "dated" and I swtiched to polished nickel around 2010. Now I'm in a newly built home, and I want the new brass. I say "new" because it has a softer finish and it is so lovely. But would I be better off with black if I don't want to change them when trends change. Trends. Grrr. That's why I suggested classic.

My spouse really appreciated the suggestions about mounting the sample hardware on a scrap, so thank you again for those suggestions!

I also like the Charlotte & Ascendra pulls that were posted and ordered samples to try. I agree that the black/sable are classic, but the brass remains a question for me. As part of this renovation I'm repainting the doors and giving some TLC to the original door hardware, which is all brass. While it's not in perfect condition, I do love it. Even if brass is a trend, this hardware has been here 100+ years and we're not going to change it so...hmm...what to do??

I LOVE original brass and have cried when friends replaced theirs! Since you have that original brass in your home already, I would not hesitate to use it on your cabinets. The brass coffee table I purchased a couple of years ago is that "new" brass, more mellow? and I think it is beautiful! I'm quite certain it would be lovely with the hardware on your doors!

It seems silly to call brass a trend. Brass, chrome, black, nickel, they go through waves of popularity but they've all been used for decades. A trend is something like rose gold--a hardware finish you won't be able to match and find at all in a few years.

To be clear, there IS a "new" brass that is much more like the old, old brass. By comparison, the brass I had twenty years ago looks garish. Like polished nickel vs. brushed or satin. Black, on the other hand, doesn't seem to change. Timeless.

What is important, of course, is that you choose what you like best, @_lmnop. The brass I bought in 2000 may not even be available now. Much depends on other elements in your home. I was ready to change my cabinet hardware to gold this week. My favorite pro here on houzz recommended black. When I saw that, I realized it was a better choice because of black pieces I have elsewhere in this open concept area. Also, it is better contrast...and it is probably more classic for my Shaker-style cabinets.

@_lmnop I would love to see other parts of your room. Still lusting after your gorgeous cabinets! Best of luck! and I hope you will show us your final results!

dsimber, I would cry, too, if I saw someone tossing the old hardware. What a travesty!

I grew up with the old, shiny brass, and agree that the newer brushed brass is so much more lovely. I bought all my lights in Fall 2020 (lucky break before inflation + I caught a great sale) and I love, love, love the brushed brass.

Spouse is happy that I ordered (more) samples & I will let you know what we think (and hopefully decide).

As for pics of the rest, no judging or unkind comments, please! We have busy lives and are doing our best. We live in a home, not a magazine.

BEFORE Sink/DW are now where closets are:

BEFORE New range is where door opening is. New fridge is toward the left side of the old range:

BEFORE Fridge/radiator wall is where the tall brown storage cabinets are:

AFTER This is the old closet wall:

AFTER This is the old range/doorway wall: (New fridge was ordered with other appliances in April...delivery date TBD. We bought this fridge for our temporary kitchen in the mudroom.)

BEFORE Storage area off the kitchen used to be this little kitchen & there was a chimney, sewer pipe and lots of electrical wires behind the cabinet with the toaster:

AFTER Storage/office area after chimney removed (spouse!), sewer pipe moved into the wall (plumber), wires moved (electrician).

AFTER This is the old sink/dishwasher wall.

I have those brushed bronze square edge pulls your posted. See photo of my before and after ( still need to do the backsplash and countertop). I did pulls on drawers and knobs on doors, house is more traditional but I wanted to modernize it a bit.

Wow! Thanks for showing even more than I'd hoped! Your transformations are amazing!

I'm sorry I don't have time to read all responses right now, but wanted to say how much I love your cabs. They remind me of sochi's kitchen (another one of my favourites). I like her wafer pulls, but I think the big doors need something larger.

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5035368/superfront-brass-pulls

Your transformation is amazing! It’s fun to see all your “before” walls and then the new “afters”. It looks great. With all those decisions I am not surprised you’re stuck on hardware. One, it’s a hard to decide part of a kitchen remodel and two, I’m sure you are getting towards “decision fatigue”. You made a ton of great decisions already. I love that storage wall!

I don't have suggestions for permenant hardware. But a sturdier temporary than painters tape. Get a pack of small command hooks. Use them on the inside of your door/drawer. Point the opening of the hook to the upper hinge side of the door or the bottom of the drawer. Use ribbon for pulls and tie them to the command hooks.

@beesneeds that is brilliant!

Imnop, beautiful cabinets and congratulations on your transformation. Your hard work is very evident.

beesneeds, Ha! That is a great idea! Thank you!

daisychain Zn3b, yes, those wafer pulls are similar to the finger pulls I was considering. I couldn't find them with a quick google search so not sure how available they are. Sochi's kitchen is beautiful! Thank you for linking!

I'd go with oil rubbed bronze cup pulls for the drawers and knobs for the cabinet doors in the same finish. I like these from Emtek:

Echoing that just above?Emtek is about the only source with a FOUR inch cup pull : )

Much kinder to hands, and nice proportion on large drawers

Spouse wanted all the same and we're both terribly clumsy so no knobs for us. Appreciate the suggestions!

Update: After a experimenting with a silly number of samples we decided on the Amerock Blackrock in black bronze, 128 mm/5-1/6". Love how they look and feel. Question about the tall cabinets...is it really worth spending a whole bunch more money for the 12" pulls for the tall cabs? Or would they look just fine with the same 128 mm hardware? Here are the cabinets mocked up with painters tape for the 12" pulls.

Thank you all, again!

the hardware is gorgeous and perfect! Yes I'd spend the money. The smaller pulls will look silly on the bigger doors

I think the longer pulls are going to look better on those tall doors.

Yup. You need to spring for the longer pulls. Small ones will look like a mistake. You’ve done such an amazing job, don’t give up now!

Longer pulls on tall doors.
