Claim:
A kitchen appliance comprising: a compartment with a frontal opening; a door supported for selectively closing the frontal opening, said door including a main body panel having an inner surface, an outer surface and opposing sides; and a decorative front panel assembly including: at least one spacer including spaced front and back walls, said at least one spacer being secured to the outer surface of the door through the back wall; a decorative glass panel mounted to the door through the at least one spacer, said glass panel having an outer surface and an inner surface, said inner surface being secured to the front wall of the at least one spacer while being spaced from the outer surface of the door; and a trim piece having a front wall and a side wall, the front wall extending across one of the opposing sides of the door and said side wall extending between the inner surface of the glass panel and the outer surface of the door while being spaced from the inner surface of the glass panel so as to define a gap between the side wall of the trim piece and the inner surface of the glass panel, wherein the at least one spacer is not visible from front or angled views and the gap creates an illusion that the glass panel floats relative to the door.
