I think it looks neater (because it hides the back of the fridge and it could give you a bit more cabinet storage on top or the fridge and maybe to the side, maybe put shelves or cubicles on the side of the fridge.

The black fridge does stand out a bit..but it if still is in good shape why spend the extra money on a new one. You picked a perfect paint color for the kitchen. Its calming...and has that beach feel. I would not worry about the counter. It looks nice and you never know when you might be able to pick up a piece of granite that is a "left over" from a stone company. Thanks for sharing and have fun looking for extras...check Anthropologie for window treatments, I find they have a nice selection of different patterns that will add some texture to the room.Carolyn Bachmanhttp://www.facebook.com/carolyn.bachmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-80451726763898329842011-03-25T01:09:42.300-04:002011-03-25T01:09:42.300-04:00That fixture is amazing.
