(40,319 posts)As a little kid our household appliances were sensibly white.
Then we moved to a place that didn't have appliances, which is where I acquired my mad living-without-a refrigerator-skills. (It's really not that difficult, especially if you have goats, pigs, or chickens, or you are a vegetarian with some space to make compost. My wife has never considered going without a refrigerator a reasonable option. We have a refrigerator and a freezer, both white.)
Then my parents bought a house with the avocado kitchen. What were people thinking in the 'seventies??? Pink and baby blue colored appliances from the 'fifties were much nicer than that.
The "stainless steel industrial look," which seems to be going away at last, does not appeal to me at all.
