Re: We knew this was around the corner....

Never liked stainless. Cold and industrial. SS always reminds me of my first job working in a hospital kitchen. SS everything.

It isn't actually a new unveiling. The article was published in 2012.

This is no longer popular, but about 9 yrs ago, there was this kitchen look: black granite and stainless steel. I've always thought it looked like the City Morgue.

ETA, nice to see you posting, Joey!

I would have to agree with you, Burnsite. I don't think even visualizing it sounds appealing. Nice to "see" you by the way.

I don't like the stainless finish either. All of my appliances are cream/off white.

Hi, rondell!

How have you been, Burnsite? I had a nice holiday season this year, and I sure hope that you did, too. {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Oh goody! By the time our nice old white fridge conks out, maybe just maybe we can replace with something OTHER than the horrid ugly industrial stainless, which appears to be the only option out there at the moment. Phew!

I've been shopping for a new fridge, but have not seen a model of this new white ice color in any store where I've been. It's hard to find anything but SS. It's about all you see in the appliance stores. I want a plain white one.

I really like it. I've never been crazy about all stainless, due to the cold appearance and the difficulty cleaning the fingerprints. I think it's definitely an improvement and will fit in well with stainless kitchens.

ITA, Topaz. I have never really cared for stainless in my kitchen. It looks too industrial or something. I think it looks better in restaurant kitchen, and not in a home setting.

rondell I agree. I hate to say it but all that stainless always reminded me of a morgue. Very cold looking. I love the metallic copper refrigerator, photo above. That is so warm and pretty. I'm happy with what I have.

Whatever makes people happy is fine with me!
