This looks much better! The continuous row of drawers in the middle defines the space. I like the wine fridge at the side. Just make sure you have enough room for the door to swing. If you follow Celticmoon's advice about leaving a space by the walls that would give you the same kind of breathing room for it that filler would, and add to your furniture look. If you want the wine rack, it should go at the top, because of the visual weight compared with the open shelves, but it wouldn't be so great for the wine, since heat rises and up near the ceiling is the warmest part of the room. If you want to store some wine on the open shelves, you can get cradles or a small, wine rack on the counter or shelf--long term, it's better to store wine low and cool. Again, because of the visual weight, I'd suggest you do the middle cabinets with the glass, and have your solid cabinets on the outside pillars. That would give you a frame. Or do glass all across the top cupboards. Another thing you could do for the furniture look is do shorter upper cabinets all across the top, between the pillars, and an open shelf or two underneath all across. You could do all or part of the lower, shelf area with the built in wine rack, with weight of the cabinets above. If you did this current design as is, however, it would look fine. Better without the wine rack, but fine.

Here's mine. I initially wanted a fully built-in unit but because the ceiling is vaulted the framers and my DH didn't want to drop it on one end to meet the top of the cabinetry. So I went back to the drawing board and came up with this free standing unit. It butts up to a wall on each end so I kind of got the built-in look I was after. The unit is 16' long by 9' high in the center. The doors aren't attached yet (they're just leaning there for the photo)as I still need to have glass put in them and the wood shelves are being swapped out for glass ones so the light will filter all the way down each cabinet rather than lighting up just the top shelf in each one. The cabinets are custom and site finished in BM White Dove. The wood top is American Cherry and finished to match my kitchen island. Excuse the mess and the stack of MDF on the floor, we're still under construction!

I wanted to say that’s amazing! I agree with not painting the wood. Maybe strip it and do a light white wash or natural finish. Idk. I am not a designer just a lady who enjoys this site. Does it have lighting in the top cabinets? If not try adding lights and using them.

Thanks - I'm not sure! We never asked the previous owners, but would love to find out for sure.
