It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these suckers and I really like them. I LOVE to see what people think.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this one lately as brass has suddenly come back in style. I must confess, I still really dislike it, but when it’s tarnished I don’t despise it, so I guess there’s that 😉 Although I must say this bathroom and kitchen look pretty snazzy

We have of course used oil rubbed bronze throughout our house, which I know has been fairly trendy in the last several years

In our defense though, when you look through books of storybook homes there are A LOT of dark metals used. And the original hardware that was left in place was wrought iron, so we wanted to stay true to our home’s architecture.
When working on my dad and Wendy’s house I really, really pushed chrome. I think it looks pretty foxy. I’m hoping to use these knobs on a project I’m currently sort of, maybe starting work on for my brother (we’re in limbo at the moment)

I’ve never really been a fan of satin nickel. It feels relatively forgettable to me. But that’s just me.
Now that you’ve heard my opinion (because I’m never shy about giving it 🙂 hehehehehehehehe), what about you?

I prefer wrought iron as long as it isn't too chunky.

I do love me some wrought iron too! I was so sad when the original exterior light fixture broke shortly after we moved in 🙁
