Which Appliances?

[ourcrazynavylife]

Also, if you have a brand you love or hate, please let me know.

Black Appliances Ex

Stainless Steel Ex

White Ex

Mixed Example
(Stick with me on this one you guys.  I couldn't find a whole picture so I've collaged it together.  Thinking the white farmhouse sink, white dishwasher, and a white range  then the stainless refrigerator and stainless range hood).  I feel the white helps brighten the place up when the cabinets are so dark but is mixing & matching appliances a no-no ??

I vote all light-colored stainless with farmhouse sink. I like the white open shelving too though in reality you're gonna need some cute dishes to make that look good.

Definitely not the black, that's too dark for your grey cabinets, I think. I kinda like the idea of the mixed. Looove the farmhouse sink! We have a mix of Whirlpool and Frigidaire appliances and they've been fine. Some things I could never live without:
-Gas cooktop. After having electric and gas, I love the gas cooktop sooo much better.
-Ice in the door because it gives you more freezer storage.
-A silverware rack on the door of the dishwasher- easier to load dishes.

Every time I see open shelving I can just picture my cat up there knocking shit over and getting cat hair everywhere. Having a cat who gets into literally everything really limits your decorating options. Lol

I feel you on that all too well.

I agree with pp. The dark appliances make the room too dark. I like the idea of mixed appliances.

ashlantic that makes me really happy.
That mixed set I posted is from whirlpool and it has all of those features.

I love my stainless frigidaire appliances so much I bought the exact same for my new kitchen. I also ordered the white farmhouse sink!!!!

[laceysbryan]

I like the white sink with stainless appliances.
We had a stainless Samsung fridge that was a total POS that I FUCKING HATED and now we have a GE that I love love love. Our microwave and ovens (double!) are frigidaire and I have no complaints.

[laceysbryan]

A note of caution: low ovens suck and need door locks. Luckily, ours have that but you can't lock it while it's on. We have been teaching about "hot hot hot" ovens that we shouldn't touch or play near. Ignore the shit on my countertop.

Agree with pp and vote white farmhouse sink and stainless appliances. As for brand I am also going to have to agree with Frigidaire. DH is big on research so when we were redoing our kitchen he spent at least 3 months reading reviews and going places to determine which were best and that is the brand he settled on.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I found a picture of those mixed appliances in a gray kitchen.

[kcrus]

Not black. I have black and I HATE it. I would go mixed.

-Gas for sure

-no open shelving. I know it's stylish but it's a damn nightmare.

-I have a farmhouse sink and it is EVERYTHING.

ourcrazynavylife, what did you end up choosing to buy? Did YH agree or is he whatever you want honey? 

[ourcrazynavylife]

littlelion we ended up Going with all stainless because he freaked out about the white appliances in the middle of lowes. Lol.

At that point I didn't give a shit. It's not our forever home.

I did HOWEVER get my white farmhouse sink.
