I like both the polished and raw crystals, but I guess I'd lean more towards raw just because you can see the natural state of it. The cabinet pulls look great! When we got our new kitchen cabinets about 15 years ago, I had the idea to make the pulls out of the scrap pieces of the Verde Marinace granite that I had the fabricators save for me. I've made 0% progress so far, but it's only been 15 years, so there is still time ;-)
I've been thinking about doing it for about 8 years now ....
But, I just may have gotten some inspiration seeing these. Thanks for the link to the hardware place, too, oldschoolrocker! Your welcome! They are very reasonably priced and quick w shipping too. I Definitely recommend them to anyone needing similar items. |

Really love the hardware pulls, and I think that the subdued shine works well for a kitchen setting. What an interesting pattern on them both. Thank you sir! |

Ooooo, glad I didn't miss these.
I love the drawer pulls. I imagine they add a lot of class to the cabinets and drawers. You did a fine job. I'm envious. 
I love the lamps! They positively glow with sunshine cheer! I think I like the raw best, but it's really close.

I'm afraid you are going to have to delete these pictures immediately.
If our wives see them, we will all be busy for the rest of the winter making cabinet and dresser hardware. And speaking for myself, the bar and expectations will be set too high. Your results are nothing short of perfection. Well done!

Apologies for the super late reply, new year has been busier than normal for me. Thank you for the kind words! My sister in law really loves the handles. And Thank you for the feedback on the lamps as well! Glad to have found something interesting to do with the calcite crystal lol. |
