This is the before photo of this kitchen. It needed lots of lighting, and more storage. They wanted a practical traditional kitchen, that would make the space feel bigger. We took out the soffits and recessed the fridge into an existing pantry space and built a pantry wall around it.

This is the finished photo showing the fridge pantry wall. this fridge use to sit 38" out into the room giving you only a 20" walkway. I recessed it into an existing pantry space and fit a full pantry with rollouts next to it. This opening between the bar and the fridge is now 38".
