New kitchen to design - now what?
Wow! Just discovered this site, and we're about half way down designing our kitchen for our new house here in San Francisco. We hired an interior design team, but haven't had a great deal of "meaty" information or suggestions on the kitchen. This board seems to have a ton of experiential knowledge that I'll need to absorb in a very short time.
I'll ask for your indulgence in advance if any of my upcoming questions have already been beaten to death in some other part of the forum.
The firsty question is on refrigeration. Single unit combo, or separate refigerator and freezer? One option we have is to have the main fridge part be 36" wide, and then have two freezer drawers in the island. Does anyone have experience with this layout?
An option suggested to us is to sacrifice some counter space and go with a huge 48" side by side monster. We're not sure we like that idea.
It seems a single 36" wide refrigerator/freezer would be just a little too small for us (family of 4 plus a dog), with the regular entertaining we do.
Too many choices, too little time....
