Wine Fridge or Beverage Center?
Comments (2)I'm somewhat confused by your terminology. Typically a "wine fridge" is designed to keep red wine at ideal serving temps--somewhere between 55 and 60 degrees. Certainly some also are dual zone and thus can also cool white wine to a lower temp, usually in the mid-40's. This is different than a wine storage cellar or cabinet, designed to allow wine to age properly over long periods of time. They are usually run in the 55-60 range, for reds and whites alike. This contrasts to what you'd want for pop, water, juice etc--there you'd want typical refrigerator temps, more like 35-37 degrees. That is too cold to server any kind of decent white, though certainly some folks like whites that cold. So first job would be to decide what you're looking for....See MoreDo I really need a wine fridge?
Comments (19)Love that tile and a pretty cabinet. We drink wine quite a bit. I didn't have room to put this in our kitchen. Someday, I might put one in our wine cellar aka basement. One nice thing about a Michigan basement- it stays cool year round. We do have a floor, so officially doesn't qualify as a true Michigan basement. We do have a nice rack to hold the wine I think part of the mystique of the wine experience is going underground and choosing just the right wine for the occassion. I stratify the wines based on quality so when DH goes hunting for a mid priced wine, he doesn't bring up a bottle of the best for pizza! Beagles- good to see you are still chiming in.

Comments (7)I have the exact configuration of a full depth refrigerator (ours is SxS, but the door situation is the same idea) next to a pantry. I was worried. I checked. I measured. I worried. It turned out perfect. The pantry door opens beyond 90 degrees. Actually it opens to its full stop which may be 110 degrees. Here's why. The door is about 19 inches wide, which sticks out WAY past the closed refrigerator door. So the cabinet pull can only hit air and since the door approaches the refrigerator at an angle, it goes past the refrigerator door before it extends as far to the side as the refrigerator. I don't know if that makes much sense. I'll post a picture if you haven't already decided against it. I do have a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch refrigerator side panel instead of 3/4 inch so that helps too. I'm not sure if I can hit the refrigerator with the cabinet door if I try intentionally. I think I can, but my point here was that the cabinet door would open past 90 degrees which is necessary for a pull out. Having the refrigerator stick out past the cabinets (standard depth ref.) has another side benefit. It's harder to hit the cabinets with the refrigerator door too. In my case my refrigerator has a stop BEFORE the cabinets. I can force it further, but it stops automatically before the cabinets. If it were counter depth it would probably be too close to the cabinets when open and might hit them. - Jim...See MoreHow to repaint a built in wine rack
Comments (1)I usually spray it, but those are difficult even with a sprayer. I usually have to get in there with a 4 inch roller for touching up and be sure to plan on getting a lot of paint on your forearms....See Morestillpitpat
