And it's fashionable - which means that someday it won't be. Give me plain old white any day. Also, my kitchen is on the north side of the house so I wanted lots of white. Otherwise it would have been too dark and gloomy.

I also agree about counter space next to the stove - got to have some. The old kitchen had almost none, and it was a PITA.
