Refridgerator colors

[catnapper]

Our 'fridge died today We obviously can't live without one, so we're out looking.

Question: Which color to get? We have a super small kitchen 9' x 13'. We currently have white, but the dishwasher is blackand the stove white with a large black section. Hubby thinks black, because thats what most people are going for these days. I think white because of how bright it is. Stainless steel is a bit more expensive but we'll consider it if it'll make our home worth more when we go to sell it in a few years.

Also.... we can only get it at Best Buy because of already having credit there. We can't get credit elsewhere because of hubby being out of work and most bills being late these days Things will get better in a few weeks,so we know we can rob Pete to pay Paul, with the credit thing. ANYHOW, any ideas how to find someplace else with a lower price than Best Buy to get them to give us a better price?

Since I clean houses for a living, I think mostly in those terms. I hate to clean black and stainless appliances. They both show fingerprints and you have to be careful when cleaning that you don't see streaks. I'd say white would look good with the other appliances you already have and also help with the smallness of the room. If you are planning on selling the house soon, I think the bisque color may turn off potential buyers because it doesn't match and that may cost you more in the long run. Just the thoughts off the top of my head. Others may have better ideas for you.

I said white - because I read Moesha's post and she knows cleaning!!

We have white, but all our appliances are white. I don't like stainless 'cause magnets don't stick, and I would have to get rid of all the neat stuff on my fridge. My son has black. They like it, and the front is "rough" so prints don't show. But the front of my white one is the same.

Bet that really helps!!

despite black and steel looking pretty... I wouldn´t want to clean it 1000 times a day just because prints or streaks...

I have a cream one... in my current house most decor is green... so green could be an option... but white and cream IMO are more versatile and combine with everything...

It may be pretty inexpensive to fix, at lease keep it around for a garage refrigerator if you don't want to pay to fix it now. My brother was an appliance repairman, he kept all my old appliances going for me, there were times when I would call him and tell him my hubby would be calling him to fix something and I want it to just die.

My garage refrigerator just gave out and I've had the house refrigerator for 9 years so I am sort of looking also.

I hate side by sides's I want a freezer at the bottom and I have all white appliances so I am going with white, as far as raising the value of your house, usually a refrigerator is transportable so that shouldn't really be an issue.

i say white...reasons being a small kitchen and a black fridge will take a huge chunk visually..(and i have a biscuit appliances in a green kitchen).

whatever is the cheapest. Remember a can of spray paint is only a few bucks if you decide you don't like the color anymore

honestly, I just don't see the appeal of black appliances.
