I have small children and a husband and I have stainless in my kitchen. I love the look.

It seems like there's not a lot of style options for kitchen inhabited by families with small children (or messy husbands)...

Most of the time, I think stainless stain is a good neutral. The fingerprints are a problem, but white gets grimy.

I think your comment about jeans kinda works because yes, they seem to work with almost anything.

I don't know if it can be considered trendy because it has been around for so many years now. And if Grandmas in the Mid West are planning it for their kitchens, how trendy can it be?

It seems like stainless steel is toted as the ultimate finish in appliances. The neutral that goes with everything from hardwood floors to tile, from chrome plated hardware to oiled bronze...

...So, my question is, does it? Is it actually neutral, or is it like the kitchen equivalent of jeans? Because really, blue doesn't 'go' with everything, but blue jeans somehow do.

Does it work for you? I'd especially like to know if it goes with a more warm, family style kitchen, or if it works best in a more trendy kitchen.
