Cabinet hardware

I wasn't really diggin' the '80s-looking brass-and-oak knobs in the kitchen.

So I got some new ones at Menards. On sale even. :) Not bad at $2 per knob, and $3 for drawer pulls. I looked around at the home stores for something that would look O.K. on oak. I didn't want the antique bronze look, because they are usually very dark with some rubbed-off spots of bronze. And that wouldn't work with the brushed-nickel kitchen faucet I want to get later. These are more steel-looking, and will look O.K. with the brushed nickel. Plus the knobs have the 'spool' shape that feels nice and smooth in your fingers.

They do look a little dark here, but I think when I paint the walls, it'll look better.
