Hi Terri. I think you may not be getting many replies because this subject is discussed a lot.

I just ran an Internet search for the subject on this forum. You can do this by typing this in your Internet search engine:

Site:gardenweb.com pull size

You can also replace the words "pull size" with any other terms for anything else you'd like to search. Hopefully you can get some answers from many of these past threads. There sure is a lot of discussion on the subject, that's for sure! Ultimately, I think you'll see that most people comment that it's basically up to you where, how many, and what size pulls to use. Getting some cheap samples at a big box store in various sizes and finished is a good way to start. Hold them up and see what you think. Then return those and order some samples of the pulls you like. Good luck!

Here is a link that might be useful: Results of internet search for pull sizes on GW

thank you breezygirl, I've been searching just on this site, not thru google. Between not using the correct terms and not using google I wasn't finding much. Looks like I have alot to learn about searching as well as pulls :)

Thanks

Here's a cut and paste of an answer I gave to someone last year.

"I did all pulls in my kitchen also. I don't like the look of two small pulls on wide drawers so I looked for pulls that came in multiple sizes including an 8". I aimed to size pulls on various drawer stacks following the rule of thirds or the Golden Mean, roughly translated into the pull covering the middle third of the drawer front with one-third of the drawer visible on each side of the pull.

After my pull order arrived, I walked around with the various sizes and held them up on my cabs to see what looked best. I ordered a couple dozen extra of each size pull to give myself flexibility. So I ended up with this:

Drawers
30-38" wide stacks have 8" pulls
18-24" stacks have 6" pulls
17" drawers have 4" pulls

Cabs (very few)
all pulls are horizontal on cabs
11" doors have 4" pulls
15" doors have 6" pulls"

You can see how mine turned out with various size pulls all run horizontally in this pic.

well this is exactly what I was looking for last night! The differing sizes look great. Thanks again for taking the time to repeat your reply. I do appreciate it!

Breezy: do you still like having pulls on the uppers placed horizontally like you have there?

(feel free to report me to the grammar thread for that there sentence structure)

You're welcome, Terri. It's a shame that the GW search function is so worthless, but it is what it is. At least we have another way to find threads. I'm glad you found what you needed.

Deedles--still loving it. Ergonomics are great and easy to open. Its funny that not one person IRL has noticed the horizontal orientation. Not even my SIL who installed hers the same way.
