Hi Patrycja, thanks for reaching out! I glued them together to make a butcherblock style countertop. I say go with those champagne gold tones! We are redoing our house. We currently have all oil rubbed bronze fixtures. I found this really nice looking matte hardwars pendant that I was thinking to put over my sink.

Nickel could also be a nice, cool contrast for the copper. Hoping for advice. We are currently renovating a farmhouse. The bathroom it very narrow and long and little head height. I love gold, white with a rich teal for the bathroom but money is getting very tight. I have already lost my battle for a bath. I wanted sanity unit and countertop sink. I am most likely going to have to diy the unit and was thinking of pallets but my husband just laughs!

Cost wise with having rustic unit I have chosen black taps etc and have searched for the cheapest black heated towel rail but I am still earning for teal, gold, white. Looked for gold heated towel rail and so far way out of budget. Your article makes me wonder if I opt for the cheaper chrome towel rail and go gold or antique gold taps etc. Would any of this work with teal and white? Or do I need a complete rethink. The towel rail is an issue as it is on wall in front of door by sink.

Please help. Hi Jacqui! Love the article! I recently bought a house and want to update the kitchen. I wanted to do a deep navy island with brass fixtures and a white marble countertop.

My kitchen cabinets are a like grey and I wanted to put the same brass fixtures to have a more modern look and tie in the island I am adding. I will also have the marble cup tops in the kitchen as well. My sink, faucet and appliances are stainless. Do I need to re think my awesome brass cabinet fixtures and just go with brushed silver or something?

Thank you for the help! Hi Megan! As long as you stick to two metals, brass would be a welcome accent to the stainless appliances. Hi, great article! I need some help. We just brought a house. My appliances are stainless steel. We went with a mirror dining table with a chrome base. The chairs are dark gray with a dark brown wooden base.

Our floors are dark brown wood. We love these gray sofas but the base of the sofas are golden. Would that look weird? We are also stuck on bar stools. Hi Anam! I need some help please! I have oil bronze in my kitchen hardware with pecan wood cabinets and black island with granite counter tops with grey, black, brown, and beiges. The kitchen, family room, and kitchenette are all one room. My sofas are off white with light teal and Aqua pillows and seagrass rug.

I want to put a Italian chandelier in the family room and pendant of verigated warm tones with speckles of black. I am also thinking of a RH trestle round natural wood. Will this marry with everything else going on in the room? Would you use black metal barstools? Kathy H. We have a bathroom with warm tone beige tiles. The Schluter piece my contractor used in that bathroom without asking me is in polished chrome.

How would it look if I did the rest of the fixtures in polished chrome and keep the brushed copper faucet as an accent? It is a small powder room. Will be putting up a mirror, sconce, towel bar and toilet paper holder. I am redoing a small powder room. We are doing navy wallpaper and warm taupe marble chevron floors. All hardware is polished nickel. Can I do a brass sconce above the mirror?

Should the mirror be closer to nickel or brass if I go the brass light route? Also, unrelated, but what color do I do my molding and baseboards?? Hi, I need help! We are building a farmhouse type of home. The kitchen is going to have white cabinets with a gray island. One of the bathrooms will have a gray tile. The house will have several colors of gray paint.

We were going to use Brushed nickel as all of our fixtures but my husband really likes the look of oil rubbed bronze. Can we use oil rubbed bronze as our door, lights, hinges, faucets with so much Gray in the house? I just purchased a new house and it feels like the builder emptied out all of their miscellaneous hardware pieces. Door handles throughout are chrome, kitchen cabinets pulls are aged brass, stainless appliances, a copper sink, oil rubbed bronze faucet, all bathrooms are decked out in gold, and laundry and mud room have a dark silver metal.

Where do I start to clean up this mixed mess without spending a fortune? Pick two or three of the finishes you like the most and keep them as is. Then, replace the rest of the hardware to match. I think focusing on the kitchen would be the place to spend your money.

This is such a great article! We mostly have brushed nickel light fixtures in our kitchen, except for this one in the dining area — and they currently look nice together.

This is so helpful and reassuring! If one is doing brass hardware faucets etc… in one room, is it preferable to do the same in each bathroom? Or is it fine to do stainless in one bathroom and brass in others? Curious your thoughts on that!

Many thanks for any advice! Hi Terri! Matching metals between bathrooms can be nice, but definitely not necessary. I recently purchased a gorgeous Knoll rosewood credenza with a white carrera top, chrome legs and pulls. Think this would be a good partnership? I so wish we could add photos! Hi Cydnee! Sounds like this could work.

Thanks for the great article! The room will have darker gray patterned tiles floor and white subway tiles wall. We love the look of matte black fixtures, and have all shower fixtures, vanity faucet, and light in matte black. I spray painted the vanity hardwares and made them satin bronze.

Please HELP! Great article. We just did a whole house Reno. All faucets and cabinet hardware are in chrome throughout kitchen and bathrooms. Door knobs Hickory Hardware Dresser Pulls No and light fixtures are brushed nickel. Is this ok? This article is extremely helpful. However, I am still at a little bit of a loss in my kitchen. Everything is chrome faucets with gold lighting or gold hardware or both.

Will this look ok in reverse??? If I have gold lighting and gold faucet so everything above the cabinets in gold and then chrome hardware, will it look misplaced?? Hi Jessica! This article is very helpful! I have a question about an island chandelier in my kitchen. We have cream cabinets with oil rubbed bronze pulls and faucet. The appliances are stainless steel. The chandelier I am looking at comes in this really pretty antique silver some gold hues coming through.

Could I do that? The space does open to the family room and eat in kitchen. I personally love non matching in a home. I am worried it will be too non matching in such an open space. Hi Brooke! Great read! I am using matte black door hardware and brushed nickel lighting throughout the house. The walls are super light gray and bedrooms are a touch warmer but still super light.

Thanks so much! Hi Barb! Glad you enjoyed the article! Can I mixed polished brass lights and satin brass lights in a kitchen? One set of pendants above the bar and another above the dining table?

There will be also stainless appliances, white cabinets,with satin brass pulls and an antique wood buffet and some antique barn wood shelves. Hi Beth! If you think it looks good, go for it! Hi Kathy I hope you can help… we are redecorating my daughters bedroom and she has her heart set on grey bedside tables with yellow gold legs with matching chest of drawers. Would it be okay to have a desk in the same room with rose gold legs and rose gold bedside table lamps?

While this should be fine, it really depends on how you think the two shades look next to each other. The shower trim and fixtures are chrome,cabinet pulls are gold, and vanity light fixtures are chrome. For my sink fixtures I have an antique brass and a black faucet. WHich one would be better to use? I feel it may be too much going on? Decisions were made before i was really sure.

We are redoing our downstairs after a flood. Our downstairs has some things that are gold that I was thinking of leaving but where we are doing new fixtures I want something more today but that does not clash with all the gold and brass.

I thought black but all I can seem to find is oil rubbed bronze and that seems like it would not really go. I need a ceiling fixture and two sconces for the landing when you go downstairs. They will be right by a closet with four brass door pulls.

Also in the power room I need a faucet and wall sconces. The toilet and window hardware is gold. The mirror we were going to use is kind of an antique brass.

Hi Gael! So sorry to hear about the flood. Most all fixtures in the baths and kitchen are shiny silver but I love the rose gold tones. If we keep faucets, light fixtures, etc silver where should I try and bring in the rose gold? Warm or cool neutrals? Hi Verna! We are remodeling. We painted our kitchen walls repose gray and our trim is Dover white. Our cabinets are aged white glazed with brown and island is repose gray with brown glaze and fantasy brown countertops.

I have an oil rubbed bronze faucet and I have pendants that have a m ix of bronze, gray, white ect. Would aged pewter pulls look funny if I have an oil rubbed bronze faucet or do I need to stick with oil rubbed bronze pulls? Hi Katie! Your article is so helpful!!

I do have a couple of questions about kitchen pendant lights. My kitchen has double islands and it was only wired for 3 pendant lights over one island and 1 pendant light over the second island.

Would that look strange? Also, would it be okay to use 2 different types of pendant lights over each island? Hi Praise! Anywho, I have already purchased all of my light fixtures, all being ORB with the exception of copper pendants that will hang over the island. My cabinets around the perimeter of the kitchen are a very light, soft gray, almost a taupe-white kind of color, and the island is a darker taupe gray kind of color. The counter top is a white quartz with a minimal amount of gray veining.

My current dilemma is that I found matte black hardware that I absolutely love, but am worried about it clashing with everything else I have going on.

Appliances are all stainless steel. Please help! Hi Darcie! Thank you for this article. We built a new house but chose brushed nickel for all the hardware and fixtures in the whole house. However, I started seeing blogs with houses with brass or gold fixtures and hardware, I fell in love with this color and went ahead and bought gilded iron kitchen island pendants.

We installed the pendants and while I love the color, I am hesitant to replace all the cabinet hardware with brass or gold to match the pendants because I feel it will look too matchy matchy. We bought 2 of these pendants that now hang over our island.

We have an open concept kitchen with a breakfast area that opens into the living room. We also have 12 foot ceilings and have our kitchen cabinets built all the way to the ceiling that have brushed nickel hardware that are visible on the higher plane area same plane area where the gilded iron pendants are. We are looking to make some changes and having real difficulty:.

We wanted to choose a finish or finishes that would well with the gilded iron pendants. Do we choose a finish to match our cabinet hardware or to match the pendants?

Door hardware is still pewter, we ar eventually replacing the door but not yet due to cost. Fans have gold hardware. Our chairs are purple velvet on the front with gold and purple design kind of like damask print on back and our table is grey wood. Rug is cream and grey flowers.

We are thinking of replacing the rug. I found mirrored chevrons that are rimmed in gold I wanted to put up on walks. Was going to put up signage above our large picture windows and wall opening all windows and openings are roughly 3 feet wide at least but am struggling with deciding to use gold above windows and a pewter above wall opening or if I should just keep all gold?

Should I pick 2 metals and keep finishes the same for this room? Please advise. Thanks, Beverly. Hi Beverly! We currently have all oil rubbed bronze fixtures. I really love the aged brass faucets. Would they work well together if faucets were aged brass and door and cabinet hardware remained oil rubbed bronze? We have purchased polished nickel fixtures and antique brass sconces for our bathroom.

Would you go with polished or satin nickel for the cabinet hardware? I was originally going to do brass hardware, but my husband is anti-brass so trying to limit my usage. Hi Lauren! My fridge is a Big Chill white fridge with chrome handle. My stove is a white porcelain s Wedgwood stove also with chrome hardware. I wanted to use brass long handles for the cabinet hardware. If you need more of a image of the space the floors are pecan colored with hints of grey and my walls are going to be covered in white subway tile.

Hi Milla! Interior door knobs and cabinet hardware will be oil rubbed bronze. Cabinets are white except for powder room and a guest bath dovetail gray. Countertops marble. As I overthink everything I am starting to stress about faucets. Especially the kitchen. Does everything need to be ORB? It seems a bit much. Pendants in kitchen are the industrial polished nickel above the island where the sink is… Thank you for any advice!

Hi Christy! An accent metal like polished nickel would be great to break things up. Hope all is well! This article is SO helpful. I have a question though!!!!!!!! We are renovating our entire house and I am perplexed by the basic hardware hinges and doorknobs.

I prefer to have oil-rubbed bronze ORB throughout the majority of the house den, bedrooms, hallways , but there is a section of our home that is primarily done in brass. Can we do ORB for all hinges and doorknobs, or should we do brass in the areas that have brass? See specific examples below. Kitchen Our kitchen has all brass finishes cabinet hardware, faucet, pot-filler, and pendant lights over the island.

The exterior cabinets are white, but the island is a navy. Honed Statuary Carrera marble countertops. Can we have ORB hinges and doorknobs in the kitchen on an interior door for the laundry room and an exterior Dutch door leading outside? Or should we stick with brass? Note, the front door hardware is brass! Bathroom All fixtures and cabinet hardware are polished nickel. Should we do split finished doorknob PN on the interior and ORB on the exterior , or should we do the entire fixture in ORB so the bathroom would all be polished nickel except the hinges and the doorknob?

Hi Erin! I appreciate your advice on mixing metals. Our master bathroom is one place we are considering doing so. We are excited about the natural brass fixtures we just selected. We are thinking of brass hardware, as well. If given the opportunity, what metal and finish would you pair with the brass for the faucet and shower fixtures? We are considering polished chrome or nickel.

Hi Tara! Great article!! I know this is a bit old but I am desperately needing metal mixing help. We are currently trying to finish the master bathroom in new construction. Anywho, my light fixtures are a brushed gold, white marble top on a vanity painted moscow midnight deep pretty teal , and a bold floral curtain. Should I go with chrome since it is shiny? Can I get away with not matching the faucet to the light fixture? Originally, I had gold light, black metal rim mirror, brass faucet.

Hi AK! Wonderful post! And seems to have helped many people. I was so intent on having a Delta champagne bronze kitchen faucet. I thought of going matte black for all the sink fixtures, but would that look good if the cabinet hardware is all champagne bronze a very light gold?

Cabinets are warm gray, counters white with gray veins and a hint of gold in the veins. Sink is white fire clay. Floors are a warm, but not orangey, wood tone to give life to all the gray and white. Stainless steel appliances Bosch, so the tone is a little warmer than most. I will have matte black in other places in our home. And was going to do brushed gold pendants over the island, which, with our layout, puts the black fixtures in between the pendants and the gold cabinet hardware.

We are mixing white plantation shutters and natural woven shades throughout the house. So lots of neutrals and textures, mixed metals here and there and some wood in the floors and woven shades to liven things up. In the bathrooms I am planning on choosing a finish for fixtures and hardware and probably keeping them consistent within the room.

Hi Bryana! Hello, We are building a new home,open concept with white cabinets, grey painted island, stainless steel appliances, brushed nickel hardware. My dilemma is choosing light fixtures and ceiling fans.

We have a stainless range hood over the island and a lounge area adjacent that needs a pendant or something that coordinates. I also found a silver linear chandelier that would be an alternative to the bronze light.

Any suggestions would be helpful! Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for sharing the article! My husband and I are in the process of renovating our kitchen and we are struggling with picking the color of the fixtures. We have white cabinets and crown molding, grey walls and warm oakwood floors. We are also planning to get either white or grey quartz countertops.

Any thoughts!? Hi Miley! Loved the advice you gave here! You mentioned having one main metal finish and one contrasting accent metal finish.

Hi Saara! Not necessarily about the sizes of the pieces. I am so happy I came across this article as it really helped confirm some of my decor decisions!

I have a question… we are currently renovating our spare bathroom. I have chosen black and white floor tiles, black vanity, black metal mirror, and then chrome gold accents faucets, sconces, vanity hardware I found a narrow etagere bookshelf that I would like to incorporate; however, it is antique gold.

Is it ok to combine antique gold and chrome gold into the same space? And if so, should I use the antique gold in other areas of the bathroom so it is not just the one piece? Hi Julia! Introducing antique gold into other aspects of the bathroom could definitely help to tie in the etagere.

I am a little worried about our current bathroom. Should I put up an oil rubbed bronze curtain rod? Or switch out the handles to an oil rubbed bronze? Or just start over!! Thanks for your help! Hi Yoshie! Thank you for this article, it was helpful. I was curious we have white kitchen cabinets and want to update with brushed silver door pulls. Is it ok to have gold door knobs and hindges on our doors, or is it best to replace them with brushed silver too?

Thanks for your advice. Hi Nicole! We have bright white shaker style cabinets with all chrome hardwares and fixtures in the house, Graphite island, all stainless steel appliances.

Kitchen store says no. We have white walls, warm gray cabinets was thinking brass pulls , and a white and gray quartzite. We will be getting Alaska White granite.

Kitchen remodel and open floor plan on main… just bought beautiful oil rubbed bronze light fixtures going for modern farmhouse look… appliances sink and faucet all stainless.

Hi Jen! Hi kathy I would like to ask u would a beige wooded classic furniture match with golden stainless coffee table and golden side tables or not? Bare in mind my reception walls are light beige and floors are beige marble. Hi Monica! My counters are white quarts and appliances and sink are stainless steel under mount.

Matte black or the matching champagne bronze? I have pendant lights that are glass with a black pole and also a natural colored round wood table, with a black iron base in a nook off of the kitchen.

Not sure what color chairs I was going to do, either natural or black. Thank you in advance for your help! Hi Danielle! We are updating our home. Floors are original maple hardwood and walls are light gray. Do you think that would ok even though all the other metals in the house remodeled kitchen and bathroom are brushed nickel?

Hi Raemarie! Sounds like a good plan. The brass knobs could provide a nice, warm contrast to the brushed nickel. Love this article. I am stuck on my light fixtures — I really love all metals. The ceiling fan in the living room is dark wood with oil rubbed bronze hardware and my door hardware is ORB too. Hi Caitlin! Love your article! Thank you for posting it! All paint will be light gray to the bluish side, not beige side. Dark hardwoods. White trim. Kitchen uppers will be white.

Island will be light gray. But I just ordered beautiful latern-like pendants for the island in ORB. Even though my style is traditional, I love the look of the farmhouse ORB in light fixtures. Also what is your thought then on doorknobs if I do this? I was originally planning on brushed nickel for all of the knobs. Should I reconsider this? Appreciate your thoughts and perspective!

Hi Hillary! Hi Kathy, I am super stressed out at knowing what to do with our kitchen in the house we are building. I want a white kitchen and I want to decorate with copper pieces and our cast iron collection will also be displayed as well. Can I do stainless steel appliances with this setup? I am tempted to do all white appliances for that nice clean and seamless look. But I am also realizing that nice modern white appliances are hard to come by. Hi Deanna! We are redoing our living room and have nickel finishes with wood beams and fireplace.

For the ceiling light fixture, is it ok to do a bronze finish light? As a rule of thumb, as long as you stick to two metals max, you should be fine. So yes, the bronze light should work! Love, love, love this article. I do have a question regarding mixing the metals in my own home. I have stainless steel appliances with brushed nickel hardware throughout the whole home. I decided to do oil rubbed bronze fixtures and am wondering if I should do brass accessories.

My living room is neutral with shades of grays and taupes. Hi Alyssa! You have no idea how refreshing it is to have come across your article. I have been at a loss with my guest bath remodel. Very light grey walls. My dilemma is the vanity has a black marble counter with antique brass fixtures, lighting and mirror have a lot of muted gold. Hi Courtnee! Mostly modern farmhouse style with some vintage touches, like jadeite accessories and white subway tile.

We have a vintage-look, diner-style table which is a chrome base and white top with gray and white vinyl chairs. We will have 3 lighting fixtures, a pendant over the white farmhouse sink, a pendant over the table, and a sconce over a little coffee bar which will have floating wood shelves.

Can I mix the oil-rubbed bronze with the chrome and stainless? Is matte black better? Hi Sharmilla! This article was very helpful, so glad I stumbled upon it. I have a question regarding mixing different golds together. Specifically mixing a brass shiny gold faucet with brushed gold handles and drawer pulls. We have brushed gold light fixtures throughout the house as well. Is it ok to mix metal finishes? Would I need to add in more brass accents to accentuate the faucet?

We have an open kitchen and floor plan and you can see the mixed finishes very clearly when you enter the home. Thank you in advance. Hi Jordan! This article was the most helpful I have read!! We are building a new house and I am using champagne bronze gold hardware in the kitchen. After read this article I think I will go with a chrome faucet. The master is a grey and white marble. Also all my lighting seems to be the farmhouse style bronze or iron like metal in the main living areas.

Should I just make it easy and use chrome everywhere else and accent with gold decor? Thank you!! Hi Monika! I am wanting to replace my light fixtures on my main floor. I found a fixture that I love for over the dining room table that is a large rectangular dark distressed wood beam with black piping that hangs from the ceiling. I have 3 pendant lights over the kitchen island. Would it look ok to have these fixtures in bronze or should they also be black to match the piping of the dining room light?

It is all one open space. Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for this article. I could not have come across it any sooner. I am right in the middle of changing my foyer area, and although I read in the article how different color metals can be mixed; could a rose-gold console table, a beige wall unit with rose color piping 1 tall piece go well with an antique gold pendant light above? Oh, and I may add a pretty gold color looks close to antique gold bow chair too.

What are your thoughts please? Thank you in advance!!! Hi Harriet! Hello Kathy, I am so grateful I found this blog. I like your taste and advice about mixing metals. I am renovating a home and need some help. In the kitchen I have stainless steel appliances. I have a bronze Hubbardton Forge chandelier over my breakfast table and intend to put pendants in the same finish over my island. My faucet will be a centerpiece in my kitchen because of where it is. Do I need to stick with a bronze faucet and bronze cabinet hardware so as to only have two metals, the stainless steel appliances and the bronze accents?

Or can I use a polished nickel faucet with the bronze lighting and stainless steel appliances? If I can use a polished nickel faucet then would my cabinet hardware need to be polished nickel also or could I use the bronze cabinet hardware?

What would be your choice? Also I have already installed polished nickel faucets in all of my bathrooms except chrome in one. I have a lot of dark bronze or black chandeliers and sconces in the remaining areas of my house but I wanted polished nickel in my bathrooms because it looks so clean and spa like. Do I need to bring in the bronze tones with the lighting and cabinet hardware for harmony with the rest of the house?

Or can I bring in gold and do the bathrooms in totally different finishes from the rest of the house even though in some areas you see the bathrooms from within the bedrooms as there are no doors between the berry and bathrooms in my guest rooms? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer! Hi Sherry! We are remodeling our kitchen. Can we mix oil brushed bronze with gold? Cabinets are white and island is navy blue. I just read your article in searching for help with mixing metals.

So informative!!! We just recently moved from a new transitional home to out of state to a home with oil rubbed bronze on all door knobs and very traditional. The cabinetry in the kitchen and family room are wood color and we hope to paint the wood white at some point to match the white trim in the Home. We would like to update the fixtures in the home at some point as well. Would u do the brushed gold everywhere then like the other 3 fixtures or just go room by room? Would u do the kitchen island lights in that gold since the breakfast nook area already is?

When we paint the kitchen white could we do polished nickel or needs to be that brushed gold? Hi Heather! Hi Jennifer! You can definitely mix together oil-rubbed bronze and gold since they offer a nice contrast.

Keep the hardware one finish, and bring your other metal finish in through the lighting or decor. Thanks for this great article! I have a question about a new kitchen that will be white, black and warm gray all is new except we are integrating an existing stainless steel refrigerator.

The perimeter cabinets will be light gray, the island dark gray, all countertops black and a little white soapstone, and backsplash is white gloss subway tiles. Hi Alicia! The dining room flows right off kitchen could I do a chandelier in rustic iron? Hi Kathy, I find this article super helpful and love your design esthetic!

I do have a question: I am currently moving and need to buy larger furniture at my new place but keeping most of the decor from my current place. Lots of gold accents ie. Please let me know your thoughts. I am also redoing my bedroom and wanting to bring in mirrored accents with silver but need to incorporate white shelves that hold my shoes.

How can I best mix white and silver furniture without having a strong contrast? Thanks for reaching out! White and silver furniture can also pair together since white more or less acts as a neutral.

Just make sure to include some sort of color in the room as well. If you need more design help for redecorating your bedroom, feel free to reach out to our Design Bar!

Love this article! Can I go with a matte gold or brass for my eat-in kitchen ceiling light maybe sputnik-inspired , and a chrome or nickel finish light in my entry foyer? I am just not sure if eating area light and entry light should be the same color of metal or not.

Personally, I say the more the merrier when it comes to mixing your metals. Is your lighting the cohesive detail that brings all of your rooms together? If so, keep them consistent, but if not certainly feel free to mix! Three finishes is perfectly okay. Thanks for this article. It was very helpful. Here is my question. We have brass plated fixtures everywhere e. We are redoing a bathroom and I would like to use polished nickel or brushed nickel faucets, cabinet hardware. Would it be a problem to use nickel in the bathroom cabinet hardware, light fixture, faucet if everywhere else in the house uses brass plated fixtures?

Also, if the door handle is brass plated, would I have a problem with leaving it as is and using nickel hardware in the bathroom? On a side note, the new bathroom vanity will be stained in mocha. Since the bathroom is a completely different room, you can definitely get away with using a nickel tone in the bathroom even if most of your fixtures are brass.

Hope this helps! Your article is so helpful and informative!! The door knobs are also satin nickel. The kitchen cabinets are a brown grey, floratta white granite, and ash wood tile floors. The house is an open concept so the living room, kitchen, and dining are all in one large area. I really want to do a mixed metal look for the kitchen pendants and the dining room chandelier, but I am so scared about how it will end up looking since the kitchen sink and appliances are satin nickel.

What kinds of other metals will go with this look? Since your kitchen only has one metal tone, you can really go in several directions to mix your metals. I need help please! We are trying to renovate our hall bath. Currently the bathroom is a deep garnet color with dark bronze accents mirror frame, curtain rod.

We are about to get new flooring, vinyl that mimics the stone in the shower. I want to repaint the bathroom vanity currently it is white to save some money. The sink will be replaced with a solid white sink and we have ORB faucet ready to be installed. We kind of tried to go with a Venetian theme and it does look pretty nice some tiles had some bronze medallions so we just carried it over.

I want to change the vanity to a gray color, but using small ORB knobs. What color gray would be good with the ORB hardware and white sink, sitting on a flooring that looks like old brown stone? And what color walls can I use to make it a little more sophisticated?

Paint color can be quite a challenge, and there are usually several options that work so it ultimately will come down to selecting a hue that makes you feel good and at home.

Or if you have a local designer that does consulting, they may be able to help you as well! I recommend you check out the Sherwin-Williams Alpaca grey, or functional grey.

Can I use brushed nickel hinges and door handles if i have Brass door handles and knobs in my kitchen? I really enjoyed this article! I have a super basic question. We are remodeling our master bathroom. The vanity is white with a granite top that looks like marble and has shiny silver cabinet pulls. Before it arrived, we ordered sconces that are brushed nickel. Do i need to exchange them for shiny silver?

Should everything be shiny silver, or if the brushed nickel will be okay, should that be the finish for all of the extras? The walls will be Bejamin Moore Horizon, the floors will be a light gray, and the shower and walls will be white subway tile with dove gray grout.

Both options are okay!. This article is so great! I am picking out hardware and lighting for a new townhome, which has an open floor plan so you can see from the kitchen to the eating area and on to the family room.

I have chosen a light grey palate for the walls, and white accents in the kitchen cabinets, counters, backsplash. I absolutely love the brass accents with the grey, but am wondering if I have to do throughout the entire area.

For example, I want to put brass hardware in the kitchen and a brass chandelier in the family room, but all of the door knobs are brushed silver in the house.

I think it will be too off putting to change all hardware to brass when in an open floor plan. You can definitely mix your metals here!

You have a large space to work with where multiple finishes can play off one another. I am remodeling our master bath.

The trim on the shower door is silver we are not replacing this but all of the accent pieces I am finding are dark iron shelf, mirror, light fixture. Would it be bad to have a silver shower trim and faucet but the rest of the accents iron? Thanks for reaching out. You can totally go with iron and leave the shower trim as is.

Our bathroom has me going crazy. The walls are painted a light warm gray, the countertops are creamy marble, with oak cabinets. What is the best way to mix metals when brass is the main focus? I think you hit the nail on the head! But, you know what I found out?? A Note About Cabinet Depth: I built these DIY cabinets frameless, with full overlay doors to avoid having to use anything except plywood to build them. If you want to change the depth of your own cabinets, rip your plywood narrower or wider as needed.

I saved the thin strip leftover to use later as the top supports. For a detailed guide on how to cut down a plywood sheet, check out this post. Save this for your shelves later. For this, I used my Kreg AccuCut and circular saw for quick, clean cuts. See more on how to cut down plywood here. From the remaining plywood, I cut the bottom panel.

Check out this post for door sizing guidance. That is the length you need to trim your bottom panel and top support pieces. Remember that thin strip leftover from step 1 ripping the plywood for base cabinets? Most kitchen cabinets have toe kicks on the base cabinets.

You can go without toe kicks, but I am pretty careless and rough on things, so I would be accidentally kicking the bottom of the cabinets constantly and scuffing them up. So I added toe kicks. The corner where these lines meet needs to be cut out with a jig saw.

The last detail before assembling the carcasses, is adding edge banding. I drilled pocket holes along the side edges of the bottom panel and the ends of the support pieces. Then, I attached the three support strips so that one runs along the back, and two along the top-one in the front and one in the back. Make sure the one in the front is the one with the edge banding applied. That gives you your cabinet box.

Adding the backs sounds pretty simple…and it is. Make sure when cutting your back panels, that they are square and make sure when you attach them, that your cabinet is also square to this back piece.

Simply nail or staple in place. Now, I made full overlay doors for most of my cabinets. I wanted the entire cabinet carcass to be hidden and basically let the doors steal the show. Make sense?

Once they were cut to size, I applied hickory edge banding to all sides of the doors and sanded well. Check that out for all the details. Lastly, I added some shelves using shelf pins so they are adjustable.

Now, to install these cabinets, I used shims to level them up where they go, screwed them TOGETHER through the side panels, then attached them to the studs in the wall through the top back support. Once all the base cabinets were in place, I glued up a solid hickory wood countertop like in this post and attached through the top supports of the cabinet boxes.
