White Kitchens

We are reverting to an early 1990's trend of white kitchens.  EEEEEEEgads.  It's every cooks nightmare.  No, not that we are unsanitary slobs, it's just that the kitchen (for us cooks) is the busiest room in the house.  It's like putting white carpeting in a heavily traveled hallway.  Why??? 

Anybody who has a white kitchen does not actually use their kitchen - it's all for show.
