Handles and Knobs

So I mentioned that I will be refinishing some bedroom furniture and I'm fully aware that I haven't posted any pictures of the furniture...  Heck, I haven't really started refinishing it, but I have started looking for drawer pulls!  To be honest, the major obstacle to the project is that the furniture is at my parents' house since they have room for it and we just don't at the moment!

But, that said, picking out new hardware is important because the current hardware wouldn't work well once the furniture is painted black.  Moreover, one of the backplates is missing and I can't find a replacement anyway!

Now, I have no idea how many people have tried to find drawer pulls before, but this is a tough job!  Brick-and-mortar stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.) are just plain expensive!  I mean, I found the same or similar handles online for a 1/4 of the price...  That's just outrageous!  So, as I just alluded to, I found that online shopping was the way to go!  New issue...  There are several dozen big sites out there that specialize in (or just carry tons of) drawer pulls.  And each of those sites may have thousands of options...  Since I'm a bit anal retentive, that means I need to check out all of the pulls on each site in our price range!  Ahhhh - that's a lot of looking to do!!

I had done a bunch of looking a while ago and got discouraged...  This time, I decided to enlist Aaron's help!  Getting an idea of what he liked really helped me narrow things down; combining both our likes, I did my search again (and Aaron did some on his own too), and came up with a manageable list of options... My list is down to 7 options - I need both a handle and a knob that match and need 14 handles and 9 knobs.  Each option is shown below, with a name for the set (often given by me, LoL), website that I found it, and the price for all the pieces I'd need.  Also, I'm well aware that Options 2-4 have the same handle; I didn't know which knob I liked best and they vary in price according to the knob!

Option #1: Amerock Inspirations - Satin Nickel Leaf Handle and Knob, eBuilderDirect.com, $34.10 for all

 Option #2: Atlas Twig Pull and Natural Leaf Knob (Pewter), myknobs.com, $144.85 for all

Option #3: Atlas Twig Pull and Oak Leaf Knob (Pewter), myknobs.com, $148.54 for all

 
Option #4: Atlas Twig Pull and Ivy Leaf Knob (Pewter), myknobs.com and knobsandhardware.com (for the knob), $152.59 for all

 

Option #5: Amerock Nature's Splendor Pewter Leaf, myknobs.com, $94.34 for all

 

Option #6: Hickory Hardware - Mayfair in Satin Pewter, myknobs.com, $107.69 for all

Option #7: Satin Nickel Leaf Cabinet Handle, ebay.com, $34.27 for all

Well, seeing the comparison makes me eliminate Option #6...  And the price of Options #1 and #7 is appealing!  But part of me still likes the handle for Options #2-#4!  Aiye... Maybe Aaron can figure it out from here!
