We are currently building and the cabinet guy & builder told us that they were worried about where we planned to put the refrigerator in the kitchen. We had originally planned to put it on the wall closest to the breakfast room, but with the wraparound bar, they were afraid if would crowd the walkway. Here is the placement they suggested. I think it will be ok - what do y'all think? The pic shows cabinets to the right of pantry door and Ref to the left. The cabinets are actually a wall of cabinets (pantry style - with no countertops). This is a rough draft I drew, so please excuse the errors. Each block represents 2 ft.
