From the Designer
I had several goals when I finally had the opportunity to do my own kitchen: more countertop/prep space, create a coffee station area, have a place for a new built-in refrigerator, relocate the microwave from over the range to a microwave shelf. When I moved the refrigerator to the other side of the kitchen with a pantry, it made for quite a hike when I needed things out of the crisper, so I added in two refrigerator drawers for my produce and dairy products located near the new prep area we created. I love the feeling of efficiency and organization created by really thinking through how my kitchen was going to be used.
