Just saw this comment. Yep , you lose space with counter depth and there are even shallower ones that are super small. Most fully blended ones are a mix of counter depth fridge/ normal cabinets and regular fridge/ deep cabinets. I need all the fridge space and the walking space so the fridge poking out is what i get.

We took a long time to decide on colors, comparing swatches and planning it, but it worked out and we love it. I'm glad you like it too!

If you are implying that my cabinets/ doors look like ikea im flattered. Some of the base and upper cabinets are salvaged from an old apartment complex and i rebuilt them and all of the rest including the cabinet doors and entertainment center i built from scratch.

I was able to get it pretty flat, but its far from perfect. I custom built the upper extensions and cabinet doors to work with the shape and hide the unflatness as much as possible.

Yeah, its pushed all the way in. They make shallower fridges, but you lose alot of space internally. When i was planning out the kitchen, it was clear that the fridge would stick out from the cabinets but we live that fridge. I could have made the cabinets deeper to cover more but i wanted to keep as much space for movement around the island as i could so i stuck with standard depth cabinets and a protruding fridge

Thanks! I ran the vent straight up and through the roof. I didnt want to put cabinets up there with the 6 inch pipe going through them and i like the look of dedicated vent space above the range.

Thanks! The counters are one of my favorite parts. Yeah, its a samsung range. We've only been using it for a week but it's pretty nice. Being able to air fry without the countertop device is great!
