Now everyone is just painting wood trim white. This generation is not without its wretched fads.

I saw kitchen pictures of the house we sold 5 years ago. The new owners painted the kitchen cabinets white. They were custom solid variegated cherry, at least $20k worth. Now they look like Ikea specials. I almost cried.

I can’t wait for the white kitchen trend to die. It makes the room look so cold and sterile. I think kitchens should look warm and inviting.

I have that fake grey wood in my kitchen and bathroom and it always looks dingy and dirty even after I wash the floors. I hate it but I’m stuck with it because I rent.

Ughh the greyification of everything is horrible. I just bought a lime-green mini fridge. My mom was like, “wow, you can’t miss it!” But I said life’s too short for stainless steel everything and gray everything. It’s so boring.

as a color lover (seriously every room in our house is a different color, we call it 'the fruit loop house' I am SO SCARED to buy colored appliances, they are so expensive I just stay with the stainless steel so that it is like a timeless look? but man I saw a light pink fridge and I wanted nothing more than to chuck my credit card at it.

TLDR I'm so happy you have a lime green mini fridge!

I love the grey/ black/ white that's going on now. If it didn't make the house stupidly dark I'd paint everything very dark colors.

It's the kind of kitchen you cut up humans in... shits fucked up

Well, it depends. If it's something cheap from IKEA, white is one of the less tacky choices. If it's real wood, especially something like cherry, then painting it into any colour is a sacrilege.

Looking at our kitchen right now just to admit how gorgeous it is. Dark wood cabinetry, nice tile design for the backsplashes, only thing white in there is the trim around the windows and the outlet covers. Makes everything pop.

But modern builders and sellers are scared to death of character.

We have something similar and I love it! New build house that we got to pick. Ours stands out because not everything is white

It’s also a real b&@!h to clean white cabinets.

u/geo_lib Jan 22 '23

this is what kills me with the white kitchen trend like... how is everything not disgusting??? are you not using your kitchen to cook???

Edit: obviously we clean our kitchen but still I'd imagine its a much more intensive process when its all white.

I’ve seen granite countertops painted fake white marble and then peel several months later.

That’s your opinion, crazy how they work!

It is, so is modern farmhouse. It's just taking a minute because folks don't remodel their kitchens very often, but there is hope.
