Hi, I have to agree with rwalton5 with regard to the use of space set aside for the boot/ bag area. While the idea of the area is great, it really needs to be located in a more appropriate area of the house. Perhaps in the entry or laundry area. I do have a suggestion for your choice of fridge. I own and operate an Agri tourism business and was suprised when setting up a commercial type kitchen at the reasonable cost of commercial fridges. These fridges are built to take the wear and tear of busy kitchens with multiple users, much the same as a large family. I was able to store large water containers with tap, large platters and large plastic tubs to house fruit and vegetables. I can remember thinking at the time how ideal this option would be for a large family. I was able to install a much larger commercial fridge at a lower price than I could buy from a regular retailer. My thoughts are that you would then be able to fit a large chest freezer in your butlers pantry. While chest freezers are not fashionable, they provide the room you require for buying / freezing bulk groceries. Good luck with your plans!

No, sorry, but am interested in what you find out about it. Are you wanting it for around the fridge or also the door front(s)?

Hi Anita, just saw your dilemma! Have you thought about using an automated system for opening your integrated fridge rather than a handle? Hettich and also Blum have their own version of this, would be a recommendation to check them out, as this will provide you a great solution for your integrated fridge. Thanks, Rebecca

Such a difference! Love the clean lines and the dark contrasting cabinetry and floors, beautiful!
