    Atomic starburst cabinet pulls — solid brass — from Schaub

    Posted by: •

    I have a story coming up (Liz and Dave’s gut-remodel bathroom) and they used these wonderful atomic starburst cabinet knobs (affiliate link). There are three colorways, but this polished nickel would be most appropriate for a midcentury modern or midcentury modest house.

    There is one other atomic star cabinet knob escutcheon on the market that I know of. But, the escutcheon (backplate) is stamped metal — thinner and more lightweight — and the design is “just” a star, not a starburst. 

    Sneak peek of how they look in Liz & Dave’s new bathroom. Nice!

    In contrast, this new design — from Schaub — is solid poured brass, and the starburst escutcheon is super starburst-y.

    When it comes to cabinet pulls and knobs, I recommend getting the best “hand feel” you can afford. That is, every time you pull on the knob does it feel like… quality. I imagine these do.

    Available from Amazon and other retailers. I earn a wee bit o’ commission when you click and buy from Amazon.


    Great find, Liz and Dave!

    1. Hi Pam! I love these, they would go very nicely with my Kohler Triton shower fixtures! How do we access the link to Amazon to order them?

    2. Cabinet hardware is one of my weaknesses! The price on these keeps me from stocking up for my someday kitchen remodel, but if I win the lottery, I’m going for it!

      LOVE the bathroom. Can’t wait to see more!
