In my opinion, white kitchens are a reaction to so much granite and highly detailed tile backsplash decor.
In my experience, after white kitchens come one of the following:

1.) the ones with dark cabinetry and "coziness."
2.) the colorful ones.
3.) traditional,

and the cycle continues, with tweaks along the way. Usually a 30 to 40 year cycle.

It is very similar to ladies' fashion. Remember the 1980s when we all wore 1940s shoulder pads? Fashion has just about finished with a 1970s cycle now. It will be interesting to see what the "new" clothes will be like this autumn.

Oh, probably shoulder pads!!

I prefer some contrast with the white.

So next up: Dynasty meets the Kitchen...

Actually, I'm moving toward all white rooms. They're so versatile for someone like me who gets bored easily with the same old same old décor. White rooms allow you to change your accessories and decorations with the seasons and holidays very easily.

Bobbi, but then one day you will wake up and find the all white boring too! It's just that for now the all white would be new to you.

Handy, that's entirely possible, but Lordy I hope not. I honestly don't think my hand could ever hold another paintbrush!!!

You will when you can't stand it anymore!

Bite your tongue !!!
