Appliance Skins?
So, I was thinking about those really nice flames that Alton has on his KitchenAid, and although I really love the idea of putting skins on my own is great, I am not so sure that flames quite suit me. So, i was wondering if anyone knew of a place where I could get different types, like stars, or racing stripes or something like that.
Also, does anyone know of a place that I could get something like that for grills (how cool to flames on my grill) or fridges and stoves? I have white appliances for the most part, and it's getting a little boring. I can't afford to get nicer appliances (I can't even afford a nice car, to be honest), but I want them to look a little nicer. Shy of taking a can of paint to them, does anyone have any ideas? Or have you done something to yours that you really like or turned out well?

I'm a 1991 Toyota Corolla driver, baby, so I hear you about the car! (Actually I love my little petite gas-sipper). Also, I too have white appliances because they tend to go on sale, for some reason, more so than other colors. What about stickers and magnets--or just decorating your kitchen with framed retro advertisements, or something else that suits your style?

Wouldn't you just use some cheap decals like kids use on cars? I would google "I want to spend too much money on my honda civic".

Try Blik (website here). They make amazing wall graphics, car graphics, glass decals, etc. They even partnered with Threadless, the t-shirt people. No "racing stripes" but lots of fun, eclectic designs.

Threadless actually made some wall decals with contact paper. They made stencils and then cut the pattern out of colored contact paper. You could probably do the same...

Blik was really cool! Iam not sure about the Nintendo-themed ones, but the others were really neat!

I really want the "Do, Re, Mi-quack" one. I bought both myself and my niece the t-shirt in that design.
Not sure about it as a kitchen decoration, though.
