I've got black and stainless appliances and a stainless steel sink and pendants that are kind of bronze. I was leaning toward a grayish color but I'm afraid the satin nickel is too light and I can't find anything darker in a style that I like. It's really hard to tell with the cherry because it's going to darken.

Someone posted a picture of this Amerock Revitalize handle that caught my eye but it projects 1 3/8" which is more than most handles. I've been to HD and Lowes and several K&B places and can't find it anywhere to see what it looks like.

I was hoping to have something by Christmas so I decided to blindly order them from Woodworker's Hardware since the shipping wasn't that much more than an individual piece and they were returnable. I called when they hadn't arrived almost 3 weeks later and they said it was going to be another week or so before they even got them so I canceled while I could.

I got an Amerock Mulholland handle in Satin Nickel and it seems light. A friend suggested ORB but the Mulholland one at Lowe's seems to have kind of a mauve tint. So now I'm back to square one. I'd really like to be able to close my cabinet doors and put my drawer fronts on!

Here's a set of 5 from overstock, I have no idea on the quality of them, but I like the look and think it would work well with cherry cabinets.

I actually liked the combination enough to clip someone's post a while back that had this. The cabinets are probably lighter than what you have, but it might give you the idea. Here

My husband likes the simple curved handles and I'm OK with them but wanted something with a little more character.

staceyneil can you post pics?

I think real orb would look great but the orb that I saw looked more like brown paint.

Like you, we have cherry cabinets (natural)and ss appliances and sinks, although our faucets are oil rubbed bronze. Like you, I'm also agonizing over hardware and strongly considering oil rubbed bronze from Rejuvenation. That's where we got our pendant lights in the same finish.

The main thing that's stopping me is how matte the finish is. The OR bronze on our faucets has a little sheen. I was heartened to hear that yours have mellowed. Is that from handling them, or just age? It's funny that you said they look more like the burnished antique finish because that's the other finish I'm considering. Also, please confirm that you mean Rejuvenation, not Restoration Hardware, because some people get them mixed up, and RH's finishes are different.

For the family room, we went with walnut knobs:

is that white oak on your island? where did you get your island top?

like cloud swift said, they let the cabs and granite be the stars..wouldn't change it.
