Disclaimers out of the way, here is my BIG hardware dilemma. As usual, I have a budget. I can't imagine how much easier so many of these decisions would be if cost were not an issue, but I do know that all things are relative. And I am committed to the belief that for mE anyway, much of my creativity is borne of the necessity to make a little go a long way.
One thing I know I want are cup pulls. And simple cup pulls, no patterns or stamps, just simple classic pulls. I have them now on all of my kitchen doors and the are right at home in my Old Country House. They look great, work great and feel good on my hand.
I am terrible with too many choices, and so after some preliminary searching I settled into three websites - HOme Depot, House of Antique Hardware and Restoration Hardware. .

So, this is where I am when I head to bed tonight. I now need to decide- Polished Nickel or Oil Rubbed Bronze. There are pros and cons to each. And if anyone has any strong opinions or experiences either way I would LOVE the input. My plan is put pulls on the drawers, and latches on the doors and possibly some handles or very basic knobs on a few of the doors that open in a weird way to latch.
I am leaning toward.....I will let you know tomorrow.
