Fridge vs. Door: Part II

So, you remember my post about how we ordered this amazing fridge and couldn't fit it in either doorway to the kitchen? Well, Shawn did a little demo work and I went back to Best Buy and purchased the same fridge again. (Turns out, all French door refrigerators are about the same width so going smaller wouldn't have made a difference).

Alas, the doorbell rings and the fridge has arrived! I tell the guys to take the doors off and I hold my breath as they try to get it through the doorway. "It won't fit". What?? Turns out there are these 2 little things sticking out that connect to the freezer door that pulls out. They can't be removed so Shawn tries to bust off the wood in the doorway (hard to explain the set up, plus it's boring), but no luck. All we need is 1 more inch! So we tell the guys to leave the fridge. Shawn and I will do a little more demo and make it work!! We plan on redoing the kitchen anyway so we'll just bust off the door frame, get the fridge in there and fix it all up when we remodel. So yay, we have our fridge!!

What's that? Where is the fridge now, you ask?

Yep--in the dining room!! This is where it will live until Shawn is back from his work trips and has time to work on the doorway...

The funny thing is, I'm not as worried about the fridge being in the dining room as I am not having the ice maker and water dispense hooked up. Haha! I know, I know...I've never had one and I have really looking forward to it.

So the dining room will continue to be covered in blocks of paint samples with a giant fridge in it for a bit longer...but you won't hear me complaining. Yet.
