Hardware...

Hardware...

  kinda like jewelry, isn't it?

Well, picking out the "jewelry" for the cabinets and doors was a bit overwhelming.

There are so many different styles, colors, sizes...

the sky's really the limit.

I had to reel myself in and keep focused...

basic, vintage.

We decided on black bin pulls and knobs for most of the house.

I pinned his picture from Pinterest a while back...the iron brackets are so pretty.

I loved the look and thought about using something similar in the laundry room.

I found some brackets...

but, after everything was built, it just didn't work out...

kinda made me sad, ok, really sad.

But then my trim guy made a suggestion...

use them as corbels for the island.

And to add a little something to the open cabinet.

I felt much better that I was able to use them 

and

really liked his suggestions.

There was even one left over to add to the mailbox post!

For the bathrooms, I went with brushed nickel.

Yep, very simple...basic...

vintage.
