Built In Cabinets And Storage Walls

Wall-Type Refrigerator-Freezer

THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT AT THE RIGHT HOLDS 2.0 CUBIC FEET (70 POUNDS) AND THE AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING REFRIGERATOR ON THE LEFT, 8.7 CUBIC FEET. ALL SHELVES ARE AT convenient eye-level height. The unit hangs on the wall as shown in the photograph, combining with the other kitchen equipment, or it can be installed completely recessed into the wall or in a built-in wall alcove. Doors have magnetic closers. Six colors are available: white, canary yellow, turquoise green, petal pink, cadet blue and woodtone brown. The eight-inch decorative band extending across the base of the cabinet can be in harmonizing or contrasting color. Be sure that the wall on which you intend to hang this refrigerator is properly constructed. The refrigerator weighs 338 pounds empty and a bearing or load-supporting wall having 2x4 studs spaced 16" on centers is indicated. The unit is from General Electric.

Knotty Pine Pass-Through

WHERE A ROOM DIVIDER IS NEEDED BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND THE DINETTE, THIS SOLUTION PROVIDES A HANDY PASS-THROUGH FEATURE. IF YOU ARE ADDING A DISH WASHER TO YOUR kitchen equipment and are hard put to find ample space for it in your present setup, this may well be the answer to your problem. As shown here in natural pine, it makes a very homelike early American setting.

There are two drawers, one on each side of the counter. Both cupboards on each side of the dish washer are accessible from either side and the hanging cupboards, as you can see, allow the newly washed dishes to be placed in them on the washer side and removed from the dinette side. The counter top is of ceramic tile although plastic or linoleum would also be suitable.
