Just bought cooking appliances, but need refrigerator
Comments (2)I did a "budget" kitchen with GE Profile appliances about 10 years ago. I was actually very happy with them! We didn't choose a Profile fridge, either, it was the piece that got squeezed by the budget too. We ended up choosing a basic one, bottom freezer, no ice/water, I think it was Amana or Maytag but the handles were the same style and it was just fine. I smiled every time I looked at it because it worked well and cost well under my budget. :)...See MoreNeed Help With Kitchen Layout & Appliances! :)

Comments (23)Looks good--I have an 18" drawer base between my range and the perpendicular leg where I prep, and it works well.

Comments (8)I'm not sure which layout I like best yet, and it might not be any of them. Here's why. Are you really going to spending your entire time entertaining at your sink? Point being, I actually think an island sink is in the way of any entertaining (and any view) and really limits your prep space. If I'm entertaining, I wash dishes at the end of the party. I try to load dishes into my dishwasher as the event progresses, but I like the island clear of anything since that's where people tend to gather. Having a sink in the middle of the entertaining space gets in the way of all the action. Add dishes that are waiting to be washed will just add to the mess. Having a clear island gives you a TON of prep space. Your prep space in all 4 of those options above is really choppy. So, I'd put your micro drawer in your island. You could also try putting either 1 or both your ovens in your island. Put your dishwasher and sink in your perimeter....See MoreL_P TX
