I've been wanting a French Door for awhile but haven't been able to justify getting a new fridge when the current side-by-side, which I hate, just keeps going.

Our french-doors-style fridge died and we needed a replacement. I LOVED the storage, the big drawers, the water dispenser, the opening...BUT I couldn't stand that the doors wouldn't close easily. Drove me nuts! Hopefully they've changed this feature for your new one. ALSO I wanted my kids to be able to reach stuff, and the french doors fridge was too tall. And this was IN addition to the fingerprint issue. GAH! It sure is a beaut, though! Have a great time filling it.<br /><br />I love your blog!<br />LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-15470779094451489332011-09-28T18:52:35.250-04:002011-09-28T18:52:35.250-04:00I have a french door fridge too.

I keep all the kids snacks there(yogurt, juice boxes) that way they can grab it themselves. Your fridge is really nice. I have to get that cleaner for the stainless steel. Where do they carry it? I can never seem go get mine perfectly clean and it drives me crazy. Can't wait to see the new floors.

Since we have only fluoridated water from the taps, we skipped the water/ice maker, and it allows loads of room on the inside of the left door, for all the little bottles. We keep two huge 2.5 gallon spring water jugs at the ready in the top section, one facing out for serving, one for a backup. I love ours for all the reasons you stated, except we don't have 3 freezer drawers, just two, plus a really neat "dashboard" up front on the pull out freezer's door top, where I stash all my bits and pieces, like ready to use tomato paste in tablespoon size frozen chunks, frozen banana halves for sherbet, etc. As a professional housekeeper, I really like the limited holes in the freezer drawer bottom, keeps most crumbs in there. LOVE the copious lighting in both the fridge and the freezer! Major spoiling of Us consumers, not food! Love love love! Our black unit, which we got on an excellent sale for under $900, is sleek and whisper quiet.

Thanks for sharing :) I didn't read through all the comments so don't know if this has been mentioned, but what about using bins for all the "little" stuff? A few years ago I put all of our jams, cream cheese, syrup (breakfast-y things) in a bin and I just pull it out in the morning. Then I got another and it has all condiments and salad dressings. It does take up some space (we have a regular 2-door-freezer-on-top) but I've since gotten over losing the space and love that I can tell guests "the jams are in the blue basket" or "pull out the white basket for dinner" (which has mayo, mustard, etc.). Bet you're on pins-and-needles waiting for that flooring. . .Jennibellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902786008061968790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-49920633055684821452011-09-26T17:20:46.704-04:002011-09-26T17:20:46.704-04:00My old side by side died 2 years ago and we got an...My old side by side died 2 years ago and we got another one. I hate it! The freezer shelves are so narrow and don't go all the way to the back of the freezer and things fall off! My next fridge (if I live long enough) will be a French door, but I want it in white!!! Do they even make them in white?

Mine is 6 years old so it's not as fancy as yours but it's still great! My MIL has a side by side & I HATE that thing. The freezer is just too small. When we bought ours I commented that I wish they had the ice dispenser in the door (that was before they came out with that) & the salesman & my hubs "chuckled" & rolled their eyes as they talked about how with "gravity & all it wasn't possible". Don't think I don't remind the hubs of that everytime I see one of those fridges! If only I could find that salesman!Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394041890043330124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-90805180084999655302011-09-26T16:34:18.115-04:002011-09-26T16:34:18.115-04:00Oh my goodness I want to hug your fridge, too!
