I have an old house. We put in white beadboard cabinets, stainless appliances, and farmhouse style faucets with schoolhouse style lighting. It's gorgeous!
Vinyl strips in a medium grey weathered wood look. The walls are a lovely light blue grey. The kitchen is very light and airy with just enough darks in the floor and appliances to hold it down.
my husband and I are always bickering about stainless steel appliances . I always associate stainless steel with hospitals . I don't know why but I do and to make stainless steel is impersonal and says nothing about your style . my husband thinks stainless steel looks very clean and very lean . My mom used to have the same conversation with my dad and she ended the conversation by saying "well when you are cleaning them then you can have a say as long as I'm doing the cleaning I will have the say " this used to shut my dad up . But I say you both should have a say and just add up how long you are going to be in this house .
Buy what you want, not to suit some phantom, future buyer's preference--which may or may not, BTW, be stainless. Stainless may be all you're seeing on TV, but it's hardly the only thing in appliance showrooms. Not by a long shot.
If you are going high end on appliances, then I would l think white would be okay. If you are going Home Depot Special, I think the stainless appliances in that price range are going to look nicer than the white. White low-middle end appliances scream 1995 to me. Which is probably why you saw them in that 1995 magazine.

I bought my stove used in 1995, from a coworker who also bought it used. I guess that makes it dated, but it still works great. I can't even fathom what a 1995 stove would look like compared to mine, or my moms earlier one that I took when I moved out (that was dated by the brick color, but pretty similar in shape)
I can see stoves from the 1920s, 40s-50s, 70s looking very different in their basic forms. But except for the fancier cooktops available now, what on earth has changed?
My husband and I chose white for our new appliances; we feel it is less cold and sterile looking than stainless steel.
