For example, (and I run the risk of dating myself here), I can remember when appliances were that ugly goldy-orange color. And before that, wasn't it like some avocado green? Later it went to black, then white, now stainless--I mean, who chooses? I asked my kitchen remodeler (3 years ago) what they thought it would be after stainless, and they told me they thought it was going to be some metallic goldish thing. I think I'm not describing it right--some coppery type of look, I guess. So far, I'm really glad that I tried not to be ahead of the game, cuz I haven't seen that look yet...

I asked my kitchen remodeler (3 years ago) what they thought it would be after stainless, and they told me they thought it was going to be some metallic goldish thing. I think I’m not describing it right–some coppery type of look, I guess. So far, I’m really glad that I tried not to be ahead of the game, cuz I haven’t seen that look yet…

Please, where is the individuality, there's more out there that looks really nice! Personally, I'm looking for someone with guts (oh why...) to do something different. And I think I should change careers in the next few years to kitchen remodeling, because soon everyone will make fun of and HATE the granite look. I can't wait.
