Retro Kitchen Ideas - The Fridge

Buying appliances has to be one of the most soul-sucking experiences there is. Last summer our refrigerator died at the New House just about this time, and I was so excited to finally replace that hulking beast with something new and pretty. Until I got down to the nitty-gritty details and realized that, short of removing the center island, there were no fridges for sale that would fit in that space! Our refrigerator already was counter-depth, and had two side-by-side doors with very little clearance in the front. All of the new fridges at the big box stores either had one large door that could not open in that space, or a pull-out drawer for the freezer that could not pull-out for the same reasons.

If I end up super loving the brick color, I might put some down in another texture in the living room. I'm hoping that it will warm up the space and provide some serious stain coverage. Can they be thrown in the washing machine? Guess I should have bought...
