Is being able to SEE all the food worth counter-depth smallness?
Comments (18)Hey All - Old thread eh?! Well I got the Samsung french door counter depth fridge which is the FRG238 (identical to the more easily found 237 w/ only difference being that there's ice below in the freezer as well as in the door). It's only been a couple of days but so far - knock on wood - I'm CRAZY psycho in love. Granted I'd been using a 1990 18.2 cu. ft. freezer-on-top standard fridge w/ no space in the door for a gallon of milk and old-fashioned ice trays in the freezer! Also, the contractor doesn't start work on the kitchen (partial remodel) till Monday or Tuesday so until he arrives, I don't have the water and ice function yet...they need to hook the fridge up to the water from the basement I think. Anyway, I feel like a queen. Maybe most of you are used to such luxuries but I'm sure as heck not. I love how the freezer door handle bends up a bit when you pull on it - it makes opening it a lot easier. I love the two shelves and dividers in the freezer and the little skinny-things pop down tray by the door entry as well. I love all the adjustable shelves and how much SPACE there is compared to what I had before...and this is counter-depth! Only 4.5 or so more cubic feet but the layout makes it like it's 6 or 7 more cubic feet. I love that I could have 3 gallons of milk (or more?) in the door if I wanted. I love that the ice/water in door doesn't take up much room. I love the deli tray w/ its adjustable temp. settings. I love the digital display and the blue lights and cool chiming sounds. Love the child lock and door alarm and that I could turn off the ice makers if I don't need them (I think individually if I only want ice from in the door for example) and I love knowing that if we have more people over than usual we'll have extra ice since there are 2 ice-makers. I love how I rarely how to bend down anymore (I use the fridge space more than freezer). I didn't think I would, but I already love the wine holder and the pop holder. I love how quiet it is (haven't yet heard ice drop which I expect to be sort of loud - at least if the tray's open). And lastly, the look. It's so, so pretty. Ok. Now we wait. We wait and see how the water/ice will be. And then we wait some more and see how long it lasts before having problems. The reviews are great. Even consumer reports has updated their fridge ratings and gives Samsung high marks now. They don't mention this model for some reason but I think that's a fluke since the other ones they mention are identical except just not counter-deep - and also cause this particular model gets better reviews than any of their other models, everywhere else. Oh so btw I paid somewhere around $2300 at Lowe's when they just had a sale combined w/ my using a 10% off coupon. After that I paid another $200 or so for a 5 year warrantee. Lowe's is the only store, as far as I know, that offers the RFG238 (dual ice) as opposed to RFG237 which can be found at most other stores. Thanks - sorry this was so long....See MoreCreative Counter Top Storage - Fruit/veggies/bread
Comments (20)syllabus and bleigh - I am going to check out ikea - usually the stuff they have is in chrome or some other silver color which I do not have anywhere in my house at the moment, but I will take a look. Patser - that is one of the problems I have with the huge rack/basket I have now. I think it does leave bruises on things. busybee3 and southernfrenchie. I do love the idea of those hanging baskets. I would love to find some that are two tiered and shorter and hang them from under the cabinets. I could just see DH's face if I told him I wanted to hang that from the ceiling in our kitchen. :) I just don't think we have a good place for it. Hmmmm well maybe over the island sort of area. I will ask him what he thinks. oh and syllabus - I will link the item below. It is from a company named America Retold. I have fallen in love with half their stuff. Especially these.... Hopefully that thing I did order will be in soon and I can either decide I love it or rule it out and keep going on the search. I thought of about 4 other places I could use it if I love it so I am hoping it is not too small or to poorly made.

Comments (26)Heh, I wish we had a dog's room! :) We have the same kind of container chemocurl linked (also not that one, but a shorter fatter variety) right now but I'm trying to figure out a better solution since that doesn't really fit in the space we have now. Plan A was to repurpose our old Simple Human trash can (since now we have a pullout trash) but I'm not sure that's air tight enough. Bonus is that we already have it, though. If you want to spend crazy amounts, SimpleHuman also makes an actual pet food can which looks pretty wonderful---the cup hides in the lid, it has an air-tight lock, and it comes in multiple sizes holding up to 40 pounds of food. But...it also costs $100+. *Sigh*...See MoreHow do you store your dog food in the kitchen?
Comments (14)In our "Pet Center". It's a corner cabinet turned 90-degrees that faces the foyer where we feed our dogs. It's the only cabinet that has two roll out tray shelves (ROTS). I meant to order it as a trash pullout type cabinet with the door attached to the bottom ROTS and an independent top ROTS, but I forgot to tell my KD about it until it was too late (I was so focused on the inside of the kitchen!) I put the bottom ROTS as low as I could. On that shelf is the dog food (for 3 standard poodles) in a 6-gallon Popcorn Factory can with a tight fitting lid; treats are in a 2-gallon Popcorn Factory can. I put the top ROTS as high as possible and store pet meds, leashes, collars, etc. The top drawer holds batteries and flashlights and similar items.
