I am building a new house. I am having a great debate in my head over the front door. If you put a nickel or sliver patina door knob on the front door should I put that same finish on all the door knobs in the house?
Or can I put brass door knobs on the interior doors, and french doors off the great room? I like the braa look better, but the door I like better at Lowes has a nickel caming in the leaded glass. Sometimes I think there are just too many choices. Any insight would be so helpful. I am way to overwhelmed to even think about it anymore.
Thank you,
Jennifer Fry

Sounds nice Smile

Leaded glass is antique, therefore the knobs/handles should be bronze/brass or antique black.

Interior is what suits the decor best, personally I like the rose pattern china knobs on period doors, complete with the finger plates.
