Is that still a popular thing? I saw a house with them on Property Brother's today, and wondered if that was still a thing.
I have never had a house with them, and I may only know one person that had/has them (Not sure, as I have never been to their house, but by the looks of it, I would assume that it does.)

I have only ever seen it done on TV.

I really like them as long as it is in a modern style and looks built-in rather than having cabinet panels stuck on the front of what is obviously a fridge or dishwasher.
I wouldn't get cabinet facing after the fact, but if I was remodeling from scratch I would try to integrate it into the design. Love the clean look.

The fridge in our new condo is faced to match the cabinetry. I really like it because the kitchen isn't very large and it gives it a nice flow. Our home is quite modern and it suits it well.

I do think they would look better if they looked built in. This one just looked like the slapped cabinet doors on it, which looked weird to me.

I don't know if they're still popular in new constructions. A lot of neighbors have them on appliances here, and they look great if done right. Our former fridge, dishwasher and oven were partially selected because they had this ability, but I never got around to having it done.

My dishwasher has a cabinet face on it, and I LOVE it!
However, I don't like the way fridges look when they are covered in a cabinet door. To me, when I've seen this (never in person, only in photos) I feel like the kitchen looks like it's missing something and that there's this huge boxy cupboard thing there.

Our kitchen has the fridge, freezer and dishwasher hidden with doors. They look exactly like cupboards. The house was new when we moved in but it had previously been reserved by someone else so they had chosen the set-up. It's the first house we have had that has had this.

This used to be very popular in England (maybe still is). My folks re-modeled their kitchen about 5 years ago and once again had a cabinet facing put on the fridge.
It's not my thing. I like the modern industrial look.
