We've ruled out the burnished copper as too pink, so we're back to the two original choices:

Option 1:


Or option 2:


And a close-up of the finishes:


The burnished nickle pull is not available in the same size as the weathered iron on the left, but it is available in a size about half-way between the two shown here. You can't see in the photo, but the bottoms of the pulls were level, so it's an accurate size comparison.

So folks, fire away!

I like the darker finish. It seems to complement the colors better, makes them richer.

I like the darker finish as well! Does your choice of faucet work with both?

[ourmoneypit]

Faucet is not changing...it is your typical chrome. We'll live with it, as it's fairly new and this is not our 'dream home'

You know what? I'm going to be the salmon. I like the lighter one. If it's an issue with sizes not being available though, I'd choose whichever offers you the most function.

I like the darker one .... In my existing kitchen I've got wrought iron swirl pulls that are black.... w/ a basic silver faucet ... I don't think the pulls and the faucets need to have the same finish....

Doreen, I suspect yours are quite similar to the ones DS wanted had we gone with the Stat kitchen...I think they're called 'birdcage' or something.

Susan: the lighter one is available in a size larger than the one in the photo, and likely would be big enough. The only 'iffy' situation would be the pull-out pantry.

I vote for the darker one.

Geez....I like them both. If you want one that will "jump" out a little compared to the surrounding colors, then go black. If you want something to just "blend", go with the nickel. I think I lean on the side of the nickel.

This is hilarious...we also polled family and friends via the website and e-mail...Between them and here, it's about neck and neck

It's good to know that both work, and that it's just a matter of preference. We will likely wait until everything else is done, stick them onto the doors and wait a few days.

I suspect that if the lighter pull was available in the 7", it would be our choice, despite the (more than double :shock pricetag. Time will tell which aspect is more important to us, I guess.

Thanks to all who participated!
