I am moving into a new place that has a decent kitchen, but I need to shop for a fridge because it doesn't come with the house. The current fridge is on the corner up against a separator wall between the hallway and the kitchen, with some very narrow cabinets on the other side. The current fridge is either 28" or 30", and at my old place we had a 36" side by side counter depth and we always ran out of space after a run to grocery store. So I am thinking of taking out the cabinets and that would open up the space to 50", and it would give us plenty of space for a 48" fridge.

Problem is, that space is designed for a full depth fridge (the cabinets were custom ordered to be extra deep) and I cannot seem to find a manufacturer that makes a fridge like that. Does anyone know of any? If not, what other ideas do you have in terms of how to use that space? One idea is to take out the cabinets anyway and buy a 36" full depth refrigerator, and just leave it as-is (the other side opens up to the kitchen workspace so it won't be too too odd). But I want to see what other options I have. I appreciate any idea, no matter how odd you might think it is!
