What should I do with this empty wall next to my fridge?
Right now it has an air purifier & the dogs food bowl (I’ll gladly find a new space for this) It’s an 84 inch space… ultimately I’d like a built in bar but until I can afford to do that… thoughts?

last yearSomething like this? I’d try to keep it streamlined and not too cluttered.

Can't find post anywhere--can I put my oven next to my fridge?
Comments (15)Like pdxgal, I've had my fridge and wall ovens next to each other for 20 years with no problem. I, too, don't want to change my electrical service for those appliances, so the new ones will occupy the same positions. That said, you should be sure to e-mail customer service of the company that manufactures your new refrigerator and ask what their policy is regarding ovens and refrigerators next to each other. GE customer service told me it would void the refrigerator warranty. KA customer service told me the warranty would still be in effect, but they recommended 3 inches between the appliances if it was possible. I am going with the KA built-in side-by-side, and I have their answer IN WRITING (love e-mail!) regarding this appliance issue. FYI: When I asked GE customer service by telephone whether their policy was "carved in stone", they said yes. But their own marketing brochures have at least two photographs where their ovens and fridges are right next to each other!...See MoreWhere should I put the fridge when I re-do my wonky little kitchen?

Comments (1)I would us the cabinets under the microwave for a baking area. Putting a box around the refrigerator would finish off your kitchen very nicely. The area by the fridge has too many cons working against it. - the area created wouldn't be wide enough for me. - it would put the fridge right in front of the island making more of a pinch point - isn't very close to the sink. - puts up a wall in what looks to be an otherwise open floor plan. would a wall make sense with the rest of the floor plan?...See MoreFridge Next to Wall---what's the issue?
Comments (4)I just measured my LG and if I want to open the crisper drawers or deli drawer, I need to have at least 12" of clearance from the side of the fridge to accomodate the door angle, door thickness, and door handle. The doors really do take up a lot of space because they are so thick (3.5" thick) and the handles stick out another 2.5", plus you need to open the door more than 90 degrees. I think the same is true of side by side fridges as well....See MoreMrs. S

I am an avid shopper on Offerup and Craigslist and I see things like this practically given away. You can have fun with it, esp if it's temporary.

last yearLove these ideas - i was thinking about a rolling kitchen cart as well, they tend to be about 48in wide but there are some out there that are wider

The armoire is moveable, and when you decide to get your bult-in bar, the armoire could be moved to another room. In my living room (adjacent to my kitchen), I have a large armoire where I store a lot of smaller kitchen appliances

last yearIf you want to try to do a bar there, you have a few options. If you can't afford built-ins like below, you might try a console with a mirror or piece of artwork above and then all of the bar stuff on top of the console.
