Our kitchen has handles!!!

Our kitchen handles and kickboards were installed today :)

The only things missing are the splashback and pantry handle (still undecided about the splashback colour and pantry handle length *shy*).

As you can see it's looking very plain and bare at the moment. I would love your suggestions on how to pretty it up :)

I was thinking green apples in a glass bowl. Would love to hear your suggestions though :)

I would also like to thank KL and M for nominating me for a Liebster award. Thank you ladies <3
I will do a post on this in the next few days.

What length vertical handle?

I've decided to go with a vertical handle for the pantry (right next to the fridge) but not sure what length to go with. What do you think?

The pantry door is 60cm wide and if we were going with a horizontal handle it would be 49.2cm long. The rest of our handles are all horizontal and vary between 36 and 75cm in length. Should we go with a 49.2cm one but just install it vertically?
Also, thank you special 'k' for being my newest follower. Make sure you check out her "a day with special 'k'" blog!

Variations in handle lengths... What do you think?

Our drawer widths vary between 45cm and 89cm. Due to the limitations in handle lengths, the gaps between the handles and ends of drawers vary between 4.3cm to 8.9cm :S
Is this acceptable?

There are two drawer lengths for which more than one length could possibly work. 2 a and b and 5 a and b. Which one do you think looks better? Version a or b?

The photo is pretty tiny, but if you click on it you will be able to see a bigger version.
I look forward to reading your thoughts and feedback :)

Compromising :(

Remember my kitchen handles post? After seeing the handles in real life I decided I too liked Lucca the best. They match our appliance handles perfectly. However, the longest handle they come in is 45cm, and our longest handles are 89cm :(

What do we do? Compromise on the length or design? Palo comes in a bigger variety of lengths though... What would you do?
