The boring kitchen in the house I just moved into was almost a dealbreaker. I couldn't afford to replace the builder-grade stock cabinets, but new knobs were just the ticket. These matte black classics replaced the ugly brass knobs and provide a nice contrast. They also pull together the black stainless steel appliances and will work with the new high-end laminate (yes, really!) countertops (Formica FX, Dolce Vita) I have ordered that are a mix of cream, caramel and coffee in a marble finish. Might try to add photos when the countertops come in.
