It's not clowns.
It's not spiders.
It's not the irrational panic I feel when I prop the oven door half open to put something inside because THEDOORISGOINGTOSLAMSHUTONMYARMS.
No, I already knew I had all of THOSE fears.
My newly discovered phobia is one of white appliances.
Call it Oileukophobia. (Oikophobia: fear of household surroundings, often including appliances. Leukophobia: fear of the color white. Enough people really HAVE these afflictions that they need to name them????)
I look at a kitchen like this:
(Now, before you guys think I'm calling anyone's kitchen ugly publicly, that's not the case. They've got some great things going on in this kitchen, and the only reason I even felt comfortable using this picture as an example is because the owners apparently thought it was ugly, too - or at least ugly enough to redo the space, which they did, and it turned out beautifully, and I wouldn't feel right if I didn't show you guys that picture as well) :
So, I've decided, I need to get over myself and embrace the possibility of a white kitchen. Yes, it's true that if we purchase a new house, we're going to either be buying our own appliances (most likely stainless with some black accents) or the kitchen will come fully equipped in a more-modern-than-white color, but if we can't get a brandy new home? There's a good chance an older kitchen will be donning some less than current electronics.
I've started looking at some pictures of beautiful spaces with white appliances to give myself a little confidence and to try to convince myself that it'll all be okay. Keep calm and carry on, right?!
