Even with the brushed nickel curtain rods! Our house was remodeled with a vintage/old beams/"weathered" look, and we have the oil rubbed bronze hardware on all the doors and handles. We really love the dimension and character it gives the white doors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2443080 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 16:22:57 +0000 Littlebit7 2443080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the curtain rods are easily changeable but not so for the knobs and hinges. I'd go for the color knob/hinge you really love and deal with matching later. Maybe install a knob in each color on a door and live with it for a week? Ultimately it's a expensive update to your home so you want to get it right!. Heck you can spray paint your existing curtain rods ORB if you need to.. I've spray painted lots of things ORB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2443073 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 15:57:47 +0000 Portboston 2443073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooooh if the curtain rods are brushed nickel, I would stick with that. I don't mind mixed metals when it comes to jewelry but in homes, I like uniformity! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2443062 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 15:33:26 +0000 serenity207 2443062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the feedback everyone! Right now the results are mostly split between brushed nickle and brushed bronze which I find hilarious because those are the two I am struggling between and just...can't...seem...to...decide! I realize this is a prime example of a first world problem...and yet...it's bugging the heck out of me! I am not great at decorating but would say my favorites are a mix of Restoration Hardware and anything Joanna Gaines does on Fixer Upper. What style would that even be called? If it helps, our first floor has brushed nickle curtain rods. Would it even look okay to have brushed bronze hardware on our doors if we have brushed nickle curtain rods? In my fantasy world, I would just hire someone to do all this in a heartbeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2443052 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 15:17:37 +0000 Littlebit7 2443052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@serenity207: what color is your trim and floor? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2442936 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 12:21:12 +0000 jhd 2442936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH replaced all our door knobs and hinges with new one when we moved into our home.

It looks so elegant to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2442916 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 11:54:31 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2442916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like brushed nickel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2442811 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:26:49 +0000 MrsKRB 2442811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have brushed bronze, and I really like the way it pops with white doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2442770 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:23:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 2442770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My preference in general is brushed nickel, but I think the dark antique bronze looks nice too. Shiny metal would show too many fingerprints I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2442759 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:14:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2442759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really think it depends on the house and your personal style.</p> <p>We have a home built in the 50s and I would say we have a modern country kitchen style. We have brushed nickel Satin finish on all new hardware we replaced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-would-you-choose-in-this-case#post-2442755 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:12:27 +0000 serenity207 2442755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in a home built in the last 30-40 years so not new construction but not very old (at least in my book). We need to replace the doorknobs and hinges on our doors. We have neutral color paint on the walls. What color hardware would you choose?</p> <p>Also would appreciate any recommendations on places to buy hardware other than Home Depot - not moving their selection! </p>
