*POLL* Black vs. Stainless Steel Debate! Plz read post first!
Here's the deal...
We would like to replace the stove and fridge... Do we go with all black to match microwave and dishwasher? Or a combo of black and stainless steel? Has anyone seen a kitchen with a mix of black and stainless? Is it even worth going stainless or is this a fad that's going to fade in the upcoming years?
Here's the current kitchen:

We have cabinets slightly darker than yours, with similar floor tiles. We chose black dishwasher, black refrigerator and a stainless/black combo stove and microwave.
They all go together perfectly.
IMO i don't like the all stainless look - i think it's too cold in such a warm looking kitchen. As for fad.. well, i guess we'll see in a few years time!

I can take pictures tonight of our kitchen if you want- we are mid-transition to stainless- I have a black & stainless micro, black stove, black dishwasher and a stainless fridge- eventually we will get a stainless stove & dishwasher- but in the meantime, it all pulls together fine- so I would go with the stainless

I don't think everything HAS to be the same color, stainless & black will always go together. Some stainless steal friges have black handles

I'm not a fan of stainless steel....to many fingerprints to constantly wipe off. I love the look of black appliances. Good Luck!!!

I have stainless and regret it. I have to constantly clean -- it shows dirt and smudges BAD. Also, it dents very easily.

although i like the look of stainless in OTHER people's kitchens i find it such a PITA to take care of. for that reason, i prefer black. but i also think that mixing black and stianless steel pieces is absolutely fine because most appliances that are SS also have some black in them.

I like the look of the mix actually. And I don't think SS is a fad. its actually been in for a long time, its just made in more affordable lines now so your seeing it a lot more

Thank you girls so much for your input! I had wanted to do all black myself but DH is the one who wants his stainless steel kitchen... We can never agree on anything... But I'll just show him this poll now to shut him up

I've never had black but we did all stainless in our kitchen and I don't really like it. The fingerprints drive me crazy and it's such a pain to clean. But stoves do look nice when they are a mixture of black and stainless.
