If they were so unpractical, how come they are so popular? Lots of popular things aren't 'specially practical! High heels and sports cars, for example. Going to see your team play at the stadium isn't as easy or cheap as watching them on TV in your comfortable living room ... ditto for going to a concert. Going out to eat is more expensive than cooking at home, and it's a fleeting pleasure for the money --not 'specially practical. The list could go on. Practical and popular don't necessarily gang together. Are white kitchens one of those things? Depends. Are you the type of housekeeper who likes white because it'll allow you to see the dirt ... or would you welcome stain because it would hide the dirt? Something I don't think has been mentioned yet: White is more expensive than stained cabinets. And painted cabinets have a shorter lifespan than stained cabinets. So, yeah, from a value point of view, maybe they aren't the most practical option. My suggestion: Go to Pinterest and make a new folder. Go through and click every kitchen that really "speaks to you" ... don't stop to consider what you like, just click ... then go back and count how many are white vs. how many are stained.

That's a great idea. Will be done installing the kitchen cabinets tomorrow and I'll upload some pictures. Thanks!

that's a lot of text. you have nickel and stainless so far, so I'd stick with that. pick one of the fixtures first and try working around that -- whether that's the chandelier or the pendants, say, is up to you.

nope, don't think it will be a problem, in case it is use some brush, u will be good to go.
