Help me choose new cabinet knobs and hinges, please?
We recently moved into a new home and I think the cabinet hardware is just all wrong. The cabinets are white, the floor is white tile with a pinkish tint to it and the counter tops are burgandy tiles. The walls have a fruit theme border and one wall is papered, the other walls are a nice brown color. I like a casual country style of decorating and we think the kitchen just looks to "sterile". It's a very pretty kitchen, just not exactly my style. I am gradually swtiching to a rooster theme. The current cabinet hinges are a tarnished bronze color and the knobs are shiny gold circles with white circles on the top. The hinges and knobs don't match at all! We are going to change these but I am not sure of a more country color to go with white cabinets. I like the brushed nickel but it seems to be a little comtempory, gold is too fancy for my taste. What do you think will make my white cabinets look more country?

- You can find knobs with roosters on them.
- Maybe if you used glass knobs, they could be colored rather than clear if you prefer. It might look good.
- www.amerock.com We are custom cabinet shop, this is the company we use. Surf their website and you'll find the country hardware your looking for.
- Changing out cabinet knobs, and hinges is a very simple task. You can get some very nice hardware from your local Home Depot and Lowes box stores, and you can go on line to sites like "www.vandykes.com", a catalog supplier of cabinet and furniture hardware. The choice of style of knobs or hinges are vast, and in todays "eclectic" life style, anything goes. Simple or Ornate, your kitchen is your kitchen. Contemporary, Country, Traditional ... pick what you like. choose carefully, they can be expensive, but you can find some nice designs by looking around. Even places like walmart, target, and kmart have hardware that you can choose from. All you need is a slotted or phillips screwdriver to change them out. Have fun!
