[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no such thing as a "timeless" kitchen design.  Kitchens get dated; it's just a fact of homeowner life.  If you're remodeling to sell, then check current trends and design accordingly.  If you're planning on staying in the house for another 10-15 years, just do what looks good to you. The odds that a kitchen design of today will make a hypothetical buyer happy 15 years from now are so low that they aren't worth worrying about, IMO.[/quote]

I disagree. Some combos hold up well over time. White cabs, and wood or black granite countertops with stainless appliances are pretty timeless. I recently ordered back issues of some home magazines from twenty years ago. That combo did not dradtically date itself. [/quote]

DP. I don't think it's an either/or choice between "timeless" and "not timeless". It's about how fast it ages. The classic white kitchen is going to age slower than many of the trends that flash quickly then date themselves quickly. So, yes, if you go with white right now it may not have as much wow factor as some other current choices today but may still outlive them.[/quote]
