I am interested in Japanese hardware for my cabinets. Could you please tell me where to find hardware?
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
Yes, Deepa is right, Rocky Mountain Hardware has very beautiful. Please read my post Modern Hardware that Matches a Japanese Aesthetic. http://asianlifestyledesign.com/2012/04/14/modern-hardware-that-matches-a-japanese-aesthetic/
In general, choose hardware that is simple in design and feels good in your hand. For door knobs I prefer levers to knobs as it is easier to open even if your hands are full. Hope this helps.
You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation however I to find this topic to be really something which I think I’d never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I’m having a look ahead on your subsequent publish, I will attempt to get the hang of it!
