1. What kind of appliances do you have in your kitchen?
Old stuff. White-ish.
2. How do you feel about them?
Could definitely do with newer ones, but not changing the colour scheme much.
3. How would your dream kitchen be equipped? (If you are the type who thinks about these things, I'd be happy to hear about the whole picture, not just the appliances.)
I am thinking there needs to be a lot of space, and maybe some sort of island with the stoves. Double ovens, easily, and as for cooking... one induction cook top (?) and one gas. A fairly large fridge & freezer (preferably hidden with the same sort of surfaces as the rest of the kitchen). My problem is generally that kitchens are made for runts, so I need fairly high boards and stuff. Need at least one marble bench for when such is required. Much of the easy access to cooking pots and pans, none of that hiding them close to the floor crap which is common in older kitchens. Large windows, need a lot of light in a kitchen. Need some kind of dining area close by the kitchen, preferably so there is visibility between them. Oh, and a dishwasher. I hate doing dishes
4. Do you think white can ever look good? (I'm thinking of some floating glass appliances I've seen... link at bottom.)
white can look good, but you need something to contrast it, then. Perhaps a coloured floor, or creative lighting.
5. Which do you consider more important in home design: resale value, or personal tastes/comfort? Would it change if you were planning to sell about 10 years down the line?
Personal taste and comfort. My taste is pretty generic, and most people will gut a kitchen the first thing they do when buying new, so as long as it doesn't look dirty or cluttered, it won't matter all that much unless they really like it.
6. Are there any home design fads you really hate?
yes.
7. Any you love?
well, yes?
8. Have you ever liked something, then pulled away from it just because it was a fad?
perhaps.
9. What do you think is going to be labeled the "'00s" look in a few decades?
cooking shows on tv
10. What's your favorite feature of your kitchen?
My knives
