No, he was smart. Insulation in interior walls muffles sound quite well. Unfortunately they took the good stuff for everything, the variety with aluminim backing (so it can be tacked onto the studs).

Wgere did I say ONE goddamned thing about insulation?
No, idiot. Foil backed sheets are for EXTERIOR walls.
Offer it on your local freecycle group. You would be amazed at what people will take.

Oh, we had a fridge that was avocado. We actually bought it used, and had it for about 6 years when we moved into our first house.
White Appliance Spray Paint!
It actually ended up with a sort of 'cloudy' pattern to it, that actually looked pretty nice!

When I bung stuff up like that I call it "antique finish" ;-)

Nah, call it faux painting and it'll sound much more upscale.

My first fridge was given to me 30+ years ago when i bought my first house. It had been painted dark blue. It had brush strokes, and roller marks but it worked for a couple years. I replaced it with one of those tiny dorm fridges that I paid $89 new in 1982, and used it for 20 years. Then I sold it for $25. that means I've spent a grand total of
74 dollars in 39 years. That's less than $2 a year. :)-- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html Goggle Groups, and Web TV users must request to be white listed, or I will not see your messages.

Should have wiped it with a rag to give it that antique wood grain look.
Or use more colors still, and call it abstract "cool" art.
Well, it wasn;'t realy 'bunged' up, I just ran out of spray paint after about 5 cans... 8-)

Or glue on some veneer and create a "woody appliance".

Appliance manufacturers already have that covered. The contact paper costs extra, though.
Contact paper? Yuck. The better built-in appliances have some real wood that gets clipped to the front panel.

It's not real wood. At best it's veneer, much of it as bad as contact paper.
Well, so far I've only seen the stuff from European kitchen manufacturers. Sure, veneer, but pretty sturdy stuff. It looked like you could even sand and refinish a few times if lil' Joey found a Sharpie pen and decided to enhance it with some graffiti.
The best one is the type we had in our kitchen in Germany. When you opened the fridge a heavy wood door would open first, the real door came delayed and followed at 1/2" distance. When we sold the house it still looked like new.

My forty year old freezer and refrigerator both had door panels that accepted 1/8" plywood. The walnut I used was, of course, veneer as in almost all "walnut" furniture.

Sounds too phallic.
No, that would be if you'd plaster it with football team stickers or something like that :-)

ALL the Walnut cabinetry I made was SOLID Walnut. A dart board cabinet. The back was masonite, however. No veneers though.
No, that is Jock Retard style.
