| Hi, I naturally thought I'd go with brushed nickel everything in the kitchen and hallway, to go with the hammered brushed nickel or pewter (not sure which - from 1940) door knobs throughout our house. But I'm wondering if you can successfully do door hardware and cabinet hardware in the matte silver look, and then do lanterns/pendants in ORB or blackened bronze? Anyone have pictures and are happy with the result? Kitchen will have white cabs, dark soapstone counters, white subway backsplash with white/greige/light grey/light greenish-blueish-grey mosaic behind stove, and red oak floors, with white casings in the hallway and BM Healing Aloe paint in kitchen and BM Stone Hearth in the hallway. |

| I don't know f I did it successfully, but I did it. My kitchen is open to the great room and dining area, and I wanted ORB light fixtures and window hardware in those rooms. I don't really like ORB for cabinet hardware, so I went with brushed nickel, which is what my doorknobs are. This is an in-progress photo with the countertops covered with cardboard, but I have white cabs, dark counters, will have a white/green mosaic on the range wall, and medium white oak floors. Close enough, huh? I think the dark fixtures tie in with the dark countertops and make it fine, but I could be wrong.

| Thanks, rtwilliams! And thank you, mpagmom - love the mix of metals in your kitchen. Think I'm sold at least as far as having the lanterns dark in the hallway and mudroom with the kitchen cab and kitchen and hall door hardware in brushed :-) |
