I wanted pulls that were longer.\u00a0 However, since the screw mounts were three inches apart, our new pulls needed to also be the same distance.\u00a0 I was able to find a pull that was five inches long with three inch mounts.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28334\"

contemporary.\u00a0 It is traditional through and through.\u00a0 But with some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2015\/07\/21\/rustic-shelves-in-a-modern-kitchen\/\">rustic additions<\/a> in our kitchen, I thought a contemporary pull would be the perfect yin to the rest of the kitchen&#8217;s yang.\u00a0 Debra Hupman, my friend who is a kitchen designer, agreed.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p

pull that was somewhat farmhouse, but after visiting some wonderfully remodeled kitchens on a recent kitchen tour, I decided that the contemporary and chrome pulls were the way to go.\u00a0 I love the
