Money, time, and vision.We can't fit a standard size refrigerator in the space that was built for the fridge in this house. We can't buy one that will fit in there either so will have to do some sort of remodeling on either the fridge hole or remove some cabinets. At this point DS1 is thinking about removing some cabinets on the end of the sink counter run for the fridge, and converting the "hole" to a pantry. Removing the base cabinets won't lose me any storage since they are not reachable - being hidden under a peninsula that comes out at right angles. The overhead cabinets above the peninsula are almost unreachable as well. Once we remove the peninsula, we will install an island whichwill give us plenty of base storage. A new pantry in the old fridge space will give us more overhead storage. It only takes $$$ and time.![]()
