Is It The End For Stainless?

If you're replacing old kitchen appliances or remodeling/building your dream kitchen, does your mind immediately go to shiny, new stainless appliances? 

Well you may want to take a look at a couple of the newest trends first. 

White finishes are on the rise again, this time with a more modern look, with stainless hardware. 
With light and bright kitchens being so popular right now, I think a white finish on your appliances can really give your kitchen a seamless look, rather than having stainless appliances that are the center of attention because they contrast against your white cabinetry. 

I'm loving these kitchens where they've used white appliances...

If you're going with darker cabinetry, GE has also recently come out with a new matte finish called Slate. It has a similar look to stainless without all the upkeep and finger prints.

What do you think?
Would you still stick with stainless?

    I am with you on the light and open feeling of white all over the kitchen :) And fingerprints on stainless has always been an issue for me...

    We got stainless steel appliances and I HATE them! With kids it just can not be done. They just look dirty all the time. They scratch, mark up and get fingerprints so easily. We have dark cabinets so I like the slate. Next time ;)

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once. That is one way you can decorate your home, but with this client we took it slow and steady. This results in an equally beautiful home. We came up with an overall design and concept to begin with, but were very flexible with reconfiguring the design as we went and buying things over time, not all at once.  We started with the key furniture pieces (sofa, chairs, console, dining table and chairs) and then a few months later added the side table, rug, light fixture, and mirrors.  Last week while I was in Utah we added the lamps and a few accessories and now we just need some window treatments a...
