2. Hafele Pendant Pull in Dark Oil-Rubbed Bronze (HAF-59568) - Makes cabinetry feel more like elegant furniture.  Perfect on top drawers and false drawer fronts under sinks.  ($7/each)

3. Hafele Solid Brass Pull 3 3/4" Centers in Dark Oil-Rubbed Bronze (HAF-58499) - Traditional and beautifully functional.  ($14/each)

4. Coordinating architectural mouldings - Frame the edges of tile with coordinating architectural tile pieces to eliminate the "lick-n-stick" look where tile transitions to painted walls.  (Price varies / sold per piece)
