I hope you’re all having a fabulous Friday! Yay, it’s Friday. Erin and Jen N., I think you’ll be happy to know you’re the winners of one Lily & Val chalkboard print and two Our Humble Abode prints. Congrats, new art is so fun.
Now I need your opinions. I’m trying to decide which drawer handles I like better. The first is a super simple brushed stainless handle for $2.97.
I like the straight lines and the simple profile.
The second one is slightly larger brushed nickel for $3.97.
I like the size, but I’m not a fan of the slightly rounded shape.
Ben wants to use the same style we used in our old kitchen.
The problem is, Lowe’s has increased the price by $20 for ten pulls. But, we can order some off Ebay for $1.50 to $2 each. So the question is, do we use something we can get right now for twice the price? Or place an order and patiently wait to get the cheaper handles? Which also means we can’t install the finished drawer fronts because we’ll have no way of opening them until we have handles.
If you’ll excuse me, I’m headed down to finish refinishing the mini dresser. Hopefully I’ll have it done to share on Monday.

/ February 22, 2013I like the first ones! Clean lines are great and the price is even better. Really, I would go with those if it were me. Good luck!!

That’s the one I’m leaning toward. Bonus that I can get the right now!
Thanks!

/ February 22, 2013I’m pretty sure I have the second option hanging on my kitchen cabs. They came in a big pack and weren’t very pricy. I love them. Option one is nice too!

Hmm, I didn’t see them in a pack. I’ll have to look for that.
Thanks!

/ February 22, 2013I also love the first ones. Simple, clean and they go great with your design.

/ February 22, 2013Hi Sarah-Nadine!
They totally go with our design, right? I still have to convince Ben. Haha.
Thanks!

/ February 22, 2013I like the clean lines of the first choice. Nice and sleek. I looked at some similar to those for a project I finished up a while back.

Me too! Thanks for your opinion!

/ February 22, 2013I love the first option! And somehow it feels more like your new house. Is that weird??

/ February 22, 2013#1…change it up from the old house!

I’m with you! That’s my favorite.
Thanks!

/ February 23, 2013If you decide you really want the same ones you had before, then order them and wait for them. You’ve waited this long, what’s a few days more? Especially when it comes to getting your home “just right.” We do that all the time — I’d rather wait a little longer than make do.

/ February 23, 2013Hi AnneSATX!
Ben really likes those (and the price), but I prefer the look of the first ones, which were his least favorite of the three options. We’ll just see what he thinks.
Thanks!

/ February 23, 2013Two is right out. One is okay but I think Ben has it right.

I agree about number 2. I like the cylinder pulls too, but kinda want to change things up from our last house.
Thanks!
Amanda
Katrina
/ February 25, 2013I love number one
We are most likely going with that style for our kitchen hardware! 
Rachel
/ February 27, 2013I would go with #1. I don’t like when the handles have over-hang. They always catch onto my clothes, purse, cords etc.. It drives me crazy!
