Decorating Kitchen With Cabinet Hardware
Once you are finished remodeling the Kitchen, installing the Cabinets and appliances there is one more thing you can to fine tune your kitchen look. I am not going to suggest you any expensive decorating idea or product. In fact it is one of the most economical way have a fresh kitchen look. The project I am suggesting is the installation of new cabinet hardware on the kitchen cabinets. Cabinet Hardware as you may know are pieces of decorative hardware made of metals like brass, copper, steel or bronze.
Now a days Copper or brass is expensive so most cabinet hardware knobs manufacturer like Amerock, Top Knobs etc are resorting to cheaper material like pewter.
Pewter cabinet knobs comes in all color and finishes for example polished brass, copper tone, satin nickel, weathered or rust color. They are also available in different shapes and styles. Most of the Amerock Cabinet Hardware I have found is reasonably priced and the hardware have unique looks. I am a great fan of Amerock cabinet knobs and pulls as they have a lot of variety to choose from among different collections. The collections are based on different theme like ocean theme, classic theme, traditional, modern etc.

There are huge selections of hardware available at any online or local hardware stores.
You can also request a cabinet hardware catalogue from Amerock website as well or browse their website and make up your mind before buying the stuff.
Kitchen is not the only place where you can replace the cabinet knobs or pulls. Infact you can replace any knobs from any furniture, cabinet door or cabinet drawers. People do it all the time for bathroom cabinets, Kitchen as well as kids rooms and bedroom furniture.
Another great use of Amerock Cabinet hardware is on the antique furnitures and cabinets. Amerock do not sell antique hardware but they do have some mission style cabinet small door knobs as well pulls. From time to time you can also find antique reproductions of the knobs that were made in usa in 1800.
so contemporary or well made modern cabinet hardware, you have both choices at Amerock Cabinet Hardware.
Here is a list of some of the latest Amerock Collection for your kitchen decorating project.
1-Rochdale Collection – Cabinet hardware with Architectural Details.
2-Arrondi Collection – Modern functional cabinet hardware.
Note: These knobs and pulls are available in many finishes like brass, antique brass, copper or Satin nickel.
Beside the knobs and pulls to put on kitche cabinets you will also need matching color hinges that go well with your knobs color or pulls color. So for example if you likes oil rubbed bronze antique knobs then you will have to purchase the same color pulls as well as hinges from the same manufacturer.
Shopping from the manufacturer also helps in saving the shipping of the cabinet hardware, if you buy cabinet hardrware items from diferrent manufacturers then you end up paying separate shipping from each manufacturer. So always buy from the same manufacturer.

Getting ready to close on our first home.
It’s not huge, a nice starter home.
Has an eat-in kitchen. I really like the bar height tables and chairs and we’ve found a table we like that comes with two chairs and both rounded ends of the table fold down for space.
Q1. Would a bar height or standard height make the kitchen look bigger?
One of the first things on our to-do list is get the bathroom remodeled. A local contractor did my parent’s bathroom a few years ago and it looked great. We ordered a custom sized extra long and wide shower base and then had the walls tiled in 6inch tiles (pretty sure it’s 6″). The walls were painted Cocoa Mocha (a neutral creamy tan color). But the plans for this new home are to do it in muted blue colors-possibly.
Q2. What tile size looks best in a smaller bathroom? Should i look for more 6in tiles or go for the really small ones?
Any other paint/decor tips you’d like to share that worked well for you–i’d appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
I have just painted it “oats”(light tannish color) on top, “october red”(deep maroon) on the bottom, separated by a border of vintage fruit (black back ground with grapes, apples and pears) I have a lot of fruit decor but I can’t figure out a good way to arrange things on the wall. I have a 10′ long wall. I have a picture from home interiors that is made to look like a fruit basket painted on tiles. It is this picture that I got the colors for the walls. I have a set of plates that hangs on the wall..one has an apple, one with pears and the other grapes. I also have these 2 shelf thingys that look sort of like topiaries of fruit. But How do I decorate the wall with these things with out it looking tacky? or too busy? or too lame?
I have an old kitchen from the 1920′s/1930′s that I want to redo. I don’t have the money to get really modern cabinets/counters and all that. I am simply having a new wood look floor installed. The only cabinets are a small section of painted old style, from floor to ceiling, cabinets with glass doors on the top part, which I love. The room size is 13′ x 14′ with 9′ ceilings. I have a lot of woodwork because there are two windows and four doorways and the cabinets in the room. So far I have primed everything and my dilemma now is a color scheme. At first I was thinking all white walls and woodwork for a bright and fresh look and add color with new curtains and decorations, etc.. But now I need ideas, because I just can’t decide. I tend to like an old fashioned or country look. I dont want to stain, I want to used only paint. Anyone have any ideas? My light in the kitchen is punched tin and my kitchen set is the farm table style. My floor will be an oak color (fake wood) laminent. Also, if anyone knows of any websites that can give me ideas, that would be great too. I get country home magazine but it hasn’t been too helpful. My livingroom that leads into my kitchen has a country decor with tans, burgundy and black. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am looking to add magical touches to my home and will be visiting disneyland paris for a few days in may. I was wondering whether there are any home decor type shops in disneyland? Any sort of home accessories/decor would be great. Are there any shops you would recommend?
Outside of disneyland paris, if anyone knows any good shops other that disneyshopping.com for any adult disney decor home items then it would all be appreciated. We are looking for subtle items, as we want it to look ‘grown up’ but just with a hint of Disney magic!!
Thanks!!
