Oh hey, I have a weird question: Does anyone have any idea if stainless kitchen appliance are here to stay? I don't really like them, but if they are going to be the nice standard for the next 5-10 years, I should get them.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I wasn't there, I don't know the tone of the whole situation. But I've had indecipherable conversations with him where he ends with "you know?" and I smile for five seconds and then shake my head because I have no clue how to parse what just came out of his mouth, and he never made me feel dumb for not knowing (I just felt dumb naturally).
Dudes almost thirty and still lives with his mum. I'm not sure how much he gets how to gague responses to different audiences.
Maybe I'm defensive of him because I find him terribly sweet and not malicious or pretentious, just alien.

They never said exactly what the disease was, but he found another treatment and moved back to California (offscreen). The conspirators all went to jail for three years and Amy Ryan inherited millions from the old lady Larry David had been working for before he got all revenge-y (also offscreen). You didn't save much time by bailing after the explosion.

I think stainless steel is on the way out, but that is based on nothing and I am not good at judging trends like that.
Get something you like. You have to live with it meanwhile.
Says the woman with the cast iron faux-woodstove in her kitchen. Which I love, but probably wouldn't be considered a selling point.

I dislike stainless, but not ask much as granite. But I am a kitchen outlier. I think it will probably turn to something else soon.

Ooh, that White Ice would definitely work with what I like. And DEFINITELY no granite. I don't care as much about the stainless.

We're trying to serve both purposes -- make it so I like it, but nothing that's an anti-selling point, at least. I really think my mother's going to want to sell within five years.

But like, for real resale value, you'd make the bathroom and adjoining closet bigger, but I'm obsessed with the tile in the bathroom, so I don't want to get rid of it.

Sure, and that's something to consider. IMO, new appliances is more important than a specific finish.
