Time for a look at how it all turned out. Like a child, this kitchen truly seems as if it's always been here. And I take that to mean it fits us and suits our house. Thanks for all your support during the long, long gestation period!

Spotting similar cabinets in a magazine got this whole kitchen started. Thanks for the inspiration!

So handy to have pepper, olive oil, and salt at the ready.

Knobs versus handles

We don't have any drywall, the new floor, cabinets or countertops ... but for some reason I am thinking about hardware today.

I love the idea of glass knobs, and found some at Restoration Hardware in Kansas City that feel good in your hand.

But I'm wondering whether the two oversized drawers along the bottom of the island should have knobs as well, or glass pulls instead. The other drawers are standard width, and I think they'd be fine with just one knob.

I know it's all right to have a mixture—I'm just not sure if I'd prefer that or two knobs on the larger drawers.

Thoughts? Advice? Anyone? Bueller?

    I'd say don't mix. I decided on the knob for my kitchen, but my solution was on all drawers use TWO. The look then is consistent. I'll show you the next time when you are walking by .

    I have the same Restoration Hardware knobs! This is after ordering single knobs from a variety of online sites (so what is a little shipping and handling?) We decided on pulls for the cabinets below, check them out when you check out Judy's knobs!
