I think it will add a nice glimmer to the kitchen. I love that it’s the warmest of the silver finishes. I’m not sure why, but I’ve become mildly obsessed with polished nickel hardware.

Hopefully, I can find something I love AND can afford. So, I’m looking for new hardware with that MCM style. Because of the number of knobs (31) and pulls (19) we need (yes, 50 total!), finding enough matching vintage MCM knobs is highly unlikely. I want a mix of knobs and drawer pulls-knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. Because of that second point, I didn’t even want to take their hardware and change it out later because the holes might not match the hardware I’d choose…especially if drawers have a hole in the center for knobs or doors have two holes for pulls. We didn’t choose hardware with the design center because 1) they had less than a dozen choices, and 2) you could only choose knobs OR pulls, not a mix. Shiny new hardware can make a big difference, fast.

It’s one of the easiest and most affordable kitchen makeovers. Today, I’m sharing my favorite places to shop for modern hardware along with a roundup of my favorite knobs and drawer pulls.Įven if you’re not building or remodeling, you should consider changing out your kitchen cabinet hardware. I’ve been looking everywhere for the perfect midcentury style cabinet hardware for our new kitchen. There are a million options out there, and it’s kind of fun to shop for hardware-gives me something to do while I anxiously wait for our house to be done (or should I say started?). I’m not mad that we didn’t like the cabinet hardware choices at the design center.
