Knobs or Pulls?

-
I've decided I'm going to start on the kitchen cabinets this weekend, ok maybe.  I have one dilemma, knobs or pulls.  Since I'm painting them, I have a chance to fill and paint over old holes and make new ones.  I have been wanting to go with longer, sleek pulls on all the doors and drawers like this kitchen.

I also like cabinets like these where there are knobs on top and pulls on the bottom.


This one has a good mix, knobs on doors and pulls on drawers.


I could just keep my current knobs and have it look similar to this one.


Do you have a preference?  I like them all.

    I love the first picture ones, I know cause we have that kind and they're so confortable to pull with all your four fingers. We remodeled out kitchen 1 1/2 yrs. ago. I really like them all, except for the button kind in the last pic. Go ahead and change them! Hugs,

    we couldn't really afford to but nice pulls for all of our cabinets, so we bought knobs for all of the doors and bought cup pulls for all of the drawers. i like the mix!

    can't wait to see what you end up with!

    I have knobs in my kitchen, but I always thought pulls were a bit fancier. Maybe do the half and half!

    We have the longer, sleek pulls on all the doors & simple knobs on the drawers in our kitchen. I like the mix. I think either way works well & depends on how many of each type of door/drawer you have. I personally wanted more of the longer, sleek pulls & we happen to have more doors than drawers, so that is what helped me make my decision. Decide which (pull or knob) you prefer to see more of in your kitchen & choose to put those on what you have more of (doors or drawers). Hope that makes sense!!?! :) Just sharing what works for us. Looking forward to seeing what you decide!

Wall Mounted TV and Hiding The Cords

-

We mounted the loft TV on the wall last week.  We knew we didn't want those ugly cords connected to the TV to be seen.  I had done a few searches to see what our options were for hiding them.  Turns out, there are several.  My least favorite was the cord cover and I knew that wasn't going to work for me. Here are the pieces we bought from Home Depot.  They are wall plates that allow you to pull the cords through but keep them hidden in the wall. After we figured out where we wanted the holes, using the template in the package, we cut a hole right under the TV mount for the cords coming from the TV.  It made me a little nervous cutting a hole in the wall.  The cords also needed a place to exit at the bottom.  We cut the second hole straight down from the top one, right next to the outlet where the cords would be plugged in. To make it easier to get the dropped cords, we installed the top plate first.  It just goes into the hol...

Gray Bathroom Cabinets

From the start, I wanted all the bathroom cabinets to be dark like the master bathroom .  I began my usual search online for more ideas. As I was searching, I came across bathrooms with gray cabinets.  I must say, I love the look. I have seen plenty of gray kitchens but never thought to have the bathroom cabinets gray as well. source   source source   I'm a little torn now.  I like the gray cabinets but with all things, my tastes change, so not sure if I would still like them in a couple years.  If I go this route, it would totally throw a curve into the plan since the walls are already painted.  Gray walls and cabinets would be overload. What do you think about gray cabinets?  Are your cabinets a color you don't see often?

Installing Ikea Lack Shelves

I have wanted built-ins somewhere in my home for forever. They look so classic and they are extra spot to house beautiful home decor pieces. I have seen many a hack for turning the Ikea Billy bookcase into built-ins but I kept debating whether I was up for the challenge. Were built-ins too much for me? In my head I wanted something simpler too.  In my searches for DIY built-ins I kept coming across floating shelves. I love the modernness of them. The clean lines. The way they just seem to be coming out of the wall. There were times where I would browse Homegoods and Target seeing all the pretty things I could put on shelves. Alright done. Floating shelves it was. Once I decided on floating shelves, the debate was whether I wanted to build them or just buy them. Building them meant I could make them the exact size I wanted them to be. Buying them meant I would have to just settle for the size they came in. My wall is 90 inches wide and the shelves are only about 75 inches wide s...
