Fridge magnets and new paneled fridge: ideas?
Comments (8)We hung a large "bulletin board" in magnetic stainless steel for an angled wall next to our kitchen -- this holds greeting cards, photos, DS' report card, & other memorabilia. Using magnets instead of conventional thumbtacks keeps whatever we're posting from being damaged by pinholes. We put a smaller magnetic marker board in our drop zone for a message center. This holds reminders, coupons, date sensitive items, shopping lists, etc....See MoreFridge panels or no fridge panels?
Comments (17)I think you're right about the window balancing the fridge in this photo. The trick is to get away from photos however. There is absolutely no way to get IRL balance in a rendering because the page ends. You always have to take it back to the space and see what your reality is. Hold up the renderings one at a time and see what is off page. I know you did a lot of mockups...so do you have a beach towel or sheet that more or less matches your current cabinets? And a gray or blue one? Get a family member to stand holding each, one at a time, even waving them a little, where the new fridge goes, during the day time so the window gets its full due, and see how much it matters having a contrast color impacts vs. just having the big towel hanging there. Walk around. Approach it from all directions. The look of this wall is really important to you, and nobody's taste but yours (and your husband's) matters. Maybe the contrast will help lighten the room? And tie in with all the appliances (okay, for that one imagine that a blue towel with fishies matches :) ). It may be that the "hulk" you were worried about seeing when you put the fridge here looks much better if it's part of the cabinetry. The smudge thing really isn't an issue. Actually, the replacement issue is only a moderate consideration too--important, but not the first thing to determine. The overall look is a huge issue. Especially of this one appliance you were so concerned about. Settle that, and make your decisions and compromises from there....See MorePaneling in a fridge: Flush with cabinets? Fridge cabinet?

Comments (10)My cabinetry actually was custom so I was able to get the exact sizes, leaving me extra deep cabinets along that run. However, it can be done with stock cabinets. The stock cabinets are simply hung with some sort of spacer in the back which brings them forward however many inches are needed (as I understand it). The cabinetry surrounding the refrigerator itself is 31" by 39 1/2" (including the cabinet on top of the refrigerator). My refrigerator specs required something like 2" clearance in the back which I decided to honor. My upper cabinets next to the refrigerator are 18" deep. My lower cabinetry is 29" deep so that with the granite overhang, it pretty much all lines up leaving the refrigerator doors protruding forward. And, unlike Buehl's, there is not a wall next to the refrigerator. So the side of the cabinetry is what shows. Looks fine to me. I don't think I would change it....See MoreWhite color Panel Ready Fridge Vs Stainless Fridge with KIDS.
