one product the metal/white combo has been done well is the mac mini, which features white with a silver that has been beadblasted (as opposed to a mirror finish or a brushed finish) to have a matte look and a satin feel to the touch. This would allow people to have white, but with a more...

One survey taker suggested a combo of stainless and white for a fridge, instead of the usual stainless and black. What do you think? Could you see this working? Kitchen Design Survey

yeah, quite a few people think 'medical' when they see stainless. Other people think "industrial" or minimal.... I guess everyone is different! Kitchen Design Survey

It seems like people like to upgrade to stainless. But what if you already have stainless? Do you upgrade to 'better' stainless, or something else? Kitchen Design Survey

but what will the new amazing stuff of the future be? It's really up to consumers who speak their minds to decide... after all, we're the ones who'll buy it, so we should get to have a say. Kitchen Design Survey

There's industrial design and mechanical design. What some people see as aesthetic choice, I see as improvement in the quality of the product (apple vs mac?) but that is neither here nor there. At the end of the day, these two questions remain: 1) Do you have a desire to express yourself...

As an industrial designer I agree that design is a logical choice, otherwise I'd be out of a job and replaced by logarithms or robots or something... However- stainless steel panels are as logical as brightly colored petals on a flower. Make something attractive to a target and you will draw...

ok, so I noticed that this thread kind of got very anti-stainless steel, and most of the people who viewed it did not comment. So maybe the 45 people who viewed but didn't comment are the pro-stainless people who don't want to be the odd man out. I know a lot of people who have stainless and...

It's interesting to hear that what is supposed to be 'desirable' is often not. I think many people who have ss appliances love them, but then there is another group of people who either have them and wish they didn't or people who choose one of the defaults (white/black/biscuit) because there's...

I have a hp DeskJet 5655 which I got secondhand. It was owned by a graphic designer so I knew it was going to be able to print photos and stuff in color well. I've had no problems with it, and the ink is avg I guess. $30ish for color and $20 for black refills. I go through about 3-5 a year and I...

I've heard of people painting appliances, but usually they take them to an auto body shop for a custom color and sealed finish. I wouldn't want to try anything at home for fear of the fumes...

I'm too short to utilize the above-refrigerator storage space, so it's never been a problem for me...

So they still work? That's amazing. I guess it's true what they say about things being build to last...

It seems like stainless steel is toted as the ultimate finish in appliances. The neutral that goes with everything from hardwood floors to tile, from chrome plated hardware to oiled bronze... ...So, my question is, does it? Is it actually neutral, or is it like the kitchen equivalent of...
