We've got one on the floor of our breakfast nook--TERRIBLE place for it to be as it gets walked on all the time, and gets chairs pushed over it...so we've talked about replacing it. But that looks like a much more viable option.<br /><br />BTW...last Christmas I bought a "new" (5 years old) Amana Fridge with freezer on the bottom for my sister off of Craig's list--$75. It was white, she wanted black...so we bought some black appliance spray paint...viola! $1000 fridge for less than $100! To think that when she wanted a black fridge with a freezer on the bottom I'd said to her "ummm...you'd better relax your expectations, because we can't afford that."

I've bought some white plates, but then they look awful with the off white switches. My hubby is NEVER going to get around to changing all those switches...so this would make the difference less obvious and still get rid of those ugly plates!
