Kitchen Countertops and Cabinet Handles

I’m continuing a series of posts about different aspects of my new kitchen, which still isn’t finished, but I am just happy with already. Green is my favorite color, and green will be showing up in my kitchen and the rest of my house quite a bit. I am using green for some of the permanent features because it has some neutrality to it, and I think it complements the wood floors and cabinets nicely. The kitchen countertops are green granite, specifically it’s called Verde Butterfly. It is dark green with large, lighter green crystals as seen in the photo below.

For the kitchen cabinet handles, I used satin nickel modern arch cabinet pulls from Amerock. I used only handles on both the drawers and the doors. I didn’t use knobs at all. I chose these handles partially for their simplicity but not so simple to be boring. The arch also matches the arch of the appliance handles on all the new appliances. Thus, the handles on the cabinets compliment the handles on the appliances, but they don’t match it so exactly to be too monotonous.
