Actually, I do too, Barbara, but I think it's been a bit overdone by now.
Many new kitchens or kitchen remodels are being done in more of an "old
world" look. Even the most modern appliances are being housed in exteriors
that belie their technology. I think many of them are charming. But if
it's sleek and modern you want, then stainless steel is still about the
only way to go.
