Knobs

The knob arrived, and though I thought I'd really, really like it, and almost did...
it has some problems.
The first problem is that it arrived with a "stress" crack and a few other cracks in the acrylic.  It is also acrylic, so it is a little lighter weight and has some surface scratching that looks like it will show wear.

So, unless I want to inspect each and every knob and be prepared to send some back for replacements (and potentially need to do that process again!), I'm passing on these.  Too bad.  I liked the concept.

Kitchen Bits

I have found my tiles, and they have arrived!  The kitchen cabinets are here, also.  I just ordered my kitchen faucet and am looking at cabinet hardware.  Here are some images.  The tile will have a dark green grout instead of light, and I'm not sure of the nickel knob yet.
I'm still looking.  I'll have a nickel faucet, so this would match and I like the beading on the cabinet and knob matching.

However, I also like this acrylic knob with green and nickel.  The sample is coming soon, so I'll be able to see it next to the tile and cabinet for real.  Then I'll know.

And here's the faucet that is on its way any day now!

So we're on our way to a full-fledged kitchen.  We have the narrow LG refrigerator and a small dishwasher, all white.  I can hardly wait to get pictures of the finished room.  Kitchens are a lot harder to do than others.  So many separate items need to coordinate!
