We are building a new house and so we are buying all new appliances. I really like the look of stainless - but hate the fingerprints!! So I've opted for the black finish. But while looking for appliances, I've noticed that they have a new finish called satine - it kind of looks like brushed nickel. its supposed to be better with the fingerprints. It only comes with refrigerators so how would it look if I did the fridge in the satine - and the other appliances in black??

Susan,

I just wrote a column on mixing finishes: http://www.kitchens.com/Remodeling%2DAnd%2DDesign/Table...-editor-Dec-2006.asp

If the fridge had black trim, you should be fine.
