Nickel is so wonderful, because it’s silvery, but also warm. It still makes me nervous, so I think I’ll stick to my favorite for a classic white kitchen which is polished nickel. Wow! Remember that shiny brass that we thought was so cool in the 80’s? And then sometime circa 1995, we thought, “what WERE we thinking?” Well, it’s back, only this time, they took that fake lacquer off so that the brass can age gracefully and naturally. And I never would’ve believed it, but brass is making a comeback. There are also a lot of glass styles including mercury glass knobs. I do prefer nickel, pewter or silver for white kitchens. architect Allan Greenberg and designer Elissa Cullman Here is a beautiful example of a kitchen I just found recently done by the team of architect Allan Greenberg and designer Elissa Cullman of Houston, TX. That shor is pretty, however, my preference is to use a combination of knobs and handles because it provides variety. Here is a classic white kitchen that uses only handles.

Ya know, the problem in this country is there is just too much choice don’t you think? If someone could narrow it down to the top 25 options, wouldn’t that help?įirst of all, there is a choice between knobs and handles or JUST handles. If you’ve ever gone out to select knobs or handles for your cabinet, you will have discovered that this is an extremely broad topic, however, I hope I am able to simplify the process, somewhat. In this case, I’m going to focus on the cabinet hardware that would be appropriate for a classic white kitchen. As promised, here is a post about kitchen hardware.
