Today, I dived into a project that’s been bugging me for awhile. I took a few days off and went to our vacation home. I like getting away...as any self-respecting vagabond does *wink*. We redid this little cottage a year or so after we bought it, mostly because the wiring was from 1923 and the bathroom was from the ‘40’s – yikes and yuk.
In our re-do, I messed up big time when it came to the kitchen. I don't cook (much), therefore no cooking = no need for a lot of storage = no upper cabinets. This gave me the option of putting a row of cute little casement windows in their place. So, you see where my mind was when deciding how big the refrigerator needed to be. I decided a little undercounter fridge would be just fine. Rrrriiiiiiight.
(pay no attention to the insulation in the cracked window) |
Fast forward three summers spent with an undercounter fridge without a freezer, and the fridge/freezer that we needed after all (because the ice cream truck only comes sporadically) was in the back room. The function was all wrong with this set-up, and I moved the fridge to the only place in the kitchen where it fit. Right in front of the storage unit stove. I only use the stovetop to heat up my tea in the morning. Need a stove, but not a proper fridge? Major brain-fart!
Why no, I don't use the oven... |
Much better! The undercounter fridge will now just be a beverage fridge - now that's function! |
What are you hanging onto because it's the 'norm'?
This is such a great site! I like the way you set this up! Great content! Thanks for sharing this!...Daniel
