Feeling the urge to redecorate my kitchen and add a boost to my dull bathroom, I found myself surfing the net for ideas. Coming home exhausted from work, I am able to scrape together only enough energy to get to my computer. “If I can not do this online,” I think to myself, “it just won’t get done.” Throwing out catch phrases, I come across a distinctive site pleasant to the eye. “Looks like a woman created it!” was my first thought. Not far off, it is a female-owned business made for women like me; busy women interested in finding the exotic, without leaving their computer screen. All this within my budget and tailored to my scant computer skills. I fall in love with the “Isabella” cabinet knob and jump from brass to crystal trying to decide the actual mood I am trying to capture. Do I strive for Arabian oasis or Roman bathhouse? I can even Fen Shui my kitchen and bath from this site. Oh, didnt I mention the name? www.knobshingesandmore.com - another world only a computer click away.

Catch the fever for NICKEL, COPPER, STAINLESS STEEL and BRONZE.
NICKEL Nickel is a smooth, sophisticated alternative to chrome, usually not as shiny, and offering more visual heft. Though often subtle and subdued, nickel is still eye-catching.
Brushed or polished, the staple of five-cent pieces looks like a million bucks in the kitchen and bath.
If only we had a nickel for every time we have seen this finish lately in a kitchen or bath. Nickel was the household metal of choice in the late 1800s and early 1900s before giving way to chrome. Now its silvery sheen is making a comeback, especially in sinks, faucets and hardware. With its bluish cast, nickel is considered a cool metal. It can be polished to a chrome like sheen or brushed to a satiny matte finish similar to stainless steel. Brushed nickel is a good choice for high-use areas, as it helps hide fingerprints, scratches and water spots.
COPPER With distinctive color cues, the natural conductor is orchestrating a rapidly spreading warming trend.
It is fitting that the word copper is an old slang term for a police officer, given the reddish to orangeish metal’s arresting appearance. As an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, copper has long been a part of kitchens, most visibly in cookware. But in recent years, copper’s warmth has been spreading from cook tops to sinks, faucets, vent hoods, countertops, backsplashes and appliances. A copper surface can be polished to maintain a shiny finish, though more often it is signature dark, greenish, character-rich patina.
Some say copper may succeed stainless steel as a finish for large appliances.
STAINLESS STEEL The always sharp-looking surface of surgeons and chefs can go cutting edge or hone a classic scheme.
The development of stainless steel in the early 1900s had a big impact on kitchens, leading to easy-care cutlery that was virtually immune to rust and corrosion. Stainless steel shook up kitchens again in the late 1900s by bringing commercial style to appliances and work surfaces. Today, the alloy of steel and chromium is the ally of those who seek a clean, contemporary look in the kitchen or bath. Like nickel, stainless steel is a cool metal that can be buffed to a highly reflective sheen or brushed for a more subdued, satiny look.
Stainless steel conjures images of sharp-edged and straight lines, but the rigid metal is malleable, too - perfectly capable of taking unexpected curves.
BRONZE Archaeologists say the Bronze Age ended long ago. We say a new one is dawning in the kitchen and bath.
In Olympic venues, bronze symbolized a third-place finish. But in the kitchen and bath area, bronze is a winning finish. The earthy-brown alloy’s gravitas and sculptural quality commend respect and convey permanence. Between its more common kitchen and bath incarnations, bronze is cast into sink basins, tiles and hardware, and applied as a coating to appliances, faucets and light fixtures. Oil-rubbed bronze, an especially hot look, reads almost black. Oil rubbing, based on ancient practices, creates a living finish - one that changes over time.
Bronze often adorns small items, but it can cover large areas, too.
