Do you like the new smoooooth front refrigerators?
Comments (1)Sippimom Maybe in my neck of the woods we (folks) are a bit odd, but I personally and everyone else I've talked to HATES the texture stuff. Yes I was thrilled with the idea when we bought the fridge we have now, after dealing with it for several years I can't wait for fingerprints:-) Mine is bisque, no kids, and your mileage my vary....See MoreDo you like refrigerator placement?
Comments (16)What is the actual length of that wing wall? Some fridges won't be able to open the left door as is, depending on what size and type of refrigerator it may be. Aisle clearance for a fridge should be 42" minimum, from the fridge handles. You have to know the model of fridge, and how much clearance it needs at the rear, and to open the doors. It looks like the clearance that you are talking about is from the cabinet to cabinet, not taking into account the depth of the appliance. You have to factor in the depth of the appliance, as well as any traffic patterns through the space, like between the island and kitchen table. That should be 60" to allow through traffic....See MoreResearching refrigerators, what do you like (or don't) about yours
Comments (19)I over planned and bought too early. It was an error. Appliances sat around in the garage for months and I lost warranty time because that counts from date of purchase usually. When you buy too early everything is months old by the time it's installed. Take the list of must-haves to a big appliance store. Shop those features, take pix and make notes on prices. When you get down to actually designing the kitchen and know space requirements for various pieces that's the time to get more specific with actual picks since you will need exact dimensions for the cabinet order. Meanwhile, there is plenty of time for the inevitable learning curve. There is one no matter how many suggestions you might get. Now to answer your question: I have a built in Miele refrigerator. What I love about it is the amazing lighting, the sturdy build quality (no clattering or chattering doors when they close) and the door storage. I have a bottom freezer that's excellent and very cold. My fridge doesn't stick out much from the cabinets -- I don't care for that look. No big grill either. It's super easy to clean -- everything comes apart in just the right way and goes back in a minute. Very quiet and very reliable. But bi fridges are a huge cost commitment. I extensively researched bi fridge styles and didn't want storage loss with FD. I don't care for the taste of fridge water -- I have an excellent filtered water faucet which gives me terrific quality water that I know is OK. That's used for all drinking and cooking. No way to do that with a fridge door dispenser. Just a thought if there will be kids in the house....See MoreDo you think this is a good choice for a new front door
Comments (4)Makes sense. I like the look of it. Where is the home located? A storm door might be overkill if the area is temperate and you don't need to ventilate through the entry door. The storm will certainly hide some of the look of the door in that case if you do go that route....See Morelowspark
