White kitchens = McMansions? Dammit, I was hoping to redo our kitchen someday and make it white. I figured the only color I needed to stay away from was cherry!
When we remodeled out other house we kept the original 1950's cabinets. They are and have always been white. The 1880 row house we had upstate had a white kitchen too. I think it's a pretty classic look.
This is a tangent but are you ladies saying that one of those owners called someone up at WaPo and said 'write about this so we can sell this house?" or are you saying they called someone up at the WaPo and said, hey here's a cool story, hoping it would get picked up and help sell the house?
