Knobs & Pulls

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the new glass we had installed for our shower in the master bathroom. I’m absolutely in love with it, and it’s got me thinking about our hardware options for the vanity in this bathroom.

We loved the built in cabinets we had made for the den bathroom so much that we decided to have our vanity in the master bathroom custom made as well.  When we priced out how much it would be to get something that was big enough for the space from Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. we found that we really weren’t spending too much more for a custom piece.

This is the inspiration photo we gave the builder:

And this is how it turned out:

Overall, we were very happy with it!  Right now it is just primer white, but we have plans to add a couple coats of high gloss white soon.  We are still trying to decide between a few light gray options for the walls.

So that brings us to the hardware.  I’m feeling torn between going with the more modern feel of this bathroom and sticking with the traditional notes that are found throughout the house.

If we go the modern route, I’d like to install sleek rods on both the drawers and doors.  Here’s what I imagine with this option…

For the more traditional route, I envision glass knobs on both the drawers and doors.  Maybe something like this…

And just when I think I’ve got it narrowed down to two options, I see this:

lucite

Lucite and nickel?  Yes please!  Not sure it would fit in, but I kind of love it.

  1. I tend to go for more modern finishes and shapes. But I think combining styles is a great way to keep things fresh, so you could really go either way here. We are also in the process of redoing our bathroom and we upgraded the old granny-country white metal cabinet handles to a sleeker brushed-metal version. Your remodel is looking great so far, by the way!

  2. Ohh… love the last one! But, ultimately, being frugal, my husband would probably talk me into whatever is cheapest, which usually equates to most boring, sigh. Found you via Organized 31, beautiful home!

  3. So normally, I do not like the sleek look pulls, especially in a house like yours. Too modern and honesty, I often think they look cheap.

    BUT, the pictures you showed, at least the 1st and 3rd (I can’t tell in the 2nd), have a subtle detail at the end, which seem to give the pulls a bit more weight, and I really like them. Do you see what I’m talking about, or is this a stupid, insignificant detail? Anyway, if you understand what I’m talking about, haha, then I like the pulls b/c of it.

    1. You’re absolutely right, Katherine! I usually shy away from the more modern and sleek hardware myself, but these looked pretty amazing!

  4. slowly chanting… modern… modern.. MODERN! Love the direction of your bathroom Sarah! Thanks so much for linking up to the Merry Monday Link Party! Hope to see you next week!- Treana @ houseofbennetts.com

  5. As I was scrolling through I liked the chunky knobs but that last picture of the lucite is by far my fav! Good luck deciding!

  6. I’m so glad I came to visit this post via Bobbi’s linky party! I hadn’t see this before! Your cabinet looks so good and I love the inspiration images you shared. I’m pinning this right now!

    I’m following you on Facebook so I’m sure I’ll soon find out which hardware you chose!

    Best wishes,

  8. The last picture is so so beautiful.
    I personally love to emphasize and focus on the bathrooms. Clean and organized bathrooms are so important. Also, I love to decorate bathrooms, they add a unique value to your living. so if anyone wants custom shower doors, I have heard of goframeless.com/
