Abstract
An apparatus for fitting a decorative door to an existing washing machine or other domestic electrical appliance, when it is desired, to match the appliance to the decorative theme/color scheme of a kitchen. The assembly includes an "L" shaped extruded aluminum plate which can be secured to a domestic appliance by means of rubber faced magnets. Hinges on the plate are adapted to receive a door to cover the appliance and match the same to the kitchen's decoration thus creating an "integrated" appliance.
