They are the TYDA handles sanded down with a fine grit sand paper, spray painted with a Krylon gold spray paint, and coated with a matte clear coat finish.

I wanted to have a transition strip of the same counter cut from a leftover piece---about 1.5" wide running perpendicular to the strips in the butcherblock, the way they sometimes do transitions in strip flooring from one room to the next. I mean, if you have to have a seam, why not make it a feature instead of trying to disguise it, right? But my contractor refused to do it, I think because it was a little more work. Oh well.SFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220083229675228673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617489617598110269.post-112652111656288222014-07-31T14:09:19.373-04:002014-07-31T14:09:19.373-04:00It did.

We used a combination of 2 fasteners and 3 dowels per seam, to allow them to be tight as possible. We decided against glue in case we ever needed to take them apart down the line. I've heard some people have used wax to hide the seam, but a line is inevitable. Hope that answers your question! erinkellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866330252308332861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617489617598110269.post-12751939703034572072014-07-31T12:37:43.493-04:002014-07-31T12:37:43.493-04:00absolutely stunning! what a beautiful kitchen!!!

Then we painted with two coats of Krylon's 18k gold spray paint. After letting them cure for 48 hours, we finished them with a matte clear protective coat of spray paint. We let that dry for another 24 hours and they were ready to roll! They've held up wonderfully, albeit it's only been ~6 months of use, so I'll be sure to do an update on their durability as time goes on! erinkellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866330252308332861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617489617598110269.post-1511052342156413872014-07-31T10:15:00.941-04:002014-07-31T10:15:00.941-04:00Did you paint the drawer pulls or does Ikea also s...Did you paint the drawer pulls or does Ikea also sell them in brass?
