Need help with drawer pulls!
I am remodeling a 1930s home and need to select drawer pulls for the kitchen. I really love the Restoration Hardware Aubrey pull (first photo below). I love the character of it, that it looks classic but not expected. However I do not like the idea of having four holes drilled per pull. I'm concerned that someday when I'm ready to refresh the look of the kitchen and I want to change the pulls, I will have a problem because the likelihood I will find replacements pulls needing four holes is slim to none. So I've been hunting high and low for a very similar pull with the normal two holes. The problem is everything else I see has less "presence" on the plates - the end plates of everything else I'm seeing are punier. Also on the Aubrey I like 90(ish) degree curvature of the handle. The others I see have a much less squared off curve. I'm finding lots of stuff that looks like the second photo, which bores me to tears. Does anyone out there know of a polished nickel or polished chrome pull that looks very similar to Aubrey but with two holes? I know I'm being particular, but the devil is in the details :). Thanks!

7 years agoI have found a couple that might serve your needs. You will have to compromise a bit, but here they are:
This is very reasonably priced, although with chrome, you might have finish problems down the road. However, this is close to the shape you seek, but with a raised base for a 2 screw application.

Comments (3)You are best to draw up the measurements on paper and look at it to see what's visually pleasing. Also look at pictures of kitchens you like and study how they scaled their hardware. There are no "rules" just good taste and balance....See MoreNeed help to pull my living area together!
Comments (10)Hi. This is improving. We need more tweaking, though. I see you have 3 love seats. We will need to divide the furniture into 2 groups. Before we do, is there any way you can move the dining table down the hall, away from the grand piano? That way, we could add another seating area around the piano. Also, it would take away from the awkwardness of having the dining table halfway in the room. Alternately, could the grand piano be moved to the other side of the dining table and then the dining table be moved so that it is centered in front of the window?...See Moreneed help for my fridge / pull out pantry

Comments (17)In the interest of keeping your kitchen friendly to as many users as possible, may I suggest you avoid knobs of any description. Older people and those with disabilities/reduced function of the hand/arm/shoulder often struggle to grasp and pull on a knob. 'Push' closers and D (or U) shaped handles with a min of 50mm height from surface are much friendlier in this regard. We are building our retirement home and - although we are both well and dextrous at present - it is so easy (and much cheaper) to think ahead, we're discovering. Setting up the place to be comfortable for as many users as possible is also pretty satisfying. Personally I'd like brush satin steel long D handles with an elegant line. Black on black might be hard to see for some and in low light....See More- PRO
