And the operation is mostly a task to find the centerpiece for my future kitchen. I’m not about to buy an expensive fridge in order to cut the electric bill caused by my old one. Makes no sense.
What did make sense for a minute was to buy a standard, inexpensive one. Not a design statement. And make it mine, vintage themed, with markers and acrylic paint.
I want to Roy Lichtenstein a plain white fridge.

On route to solving the fridge problem, I’ve found an alternative from Gorenje. It’s fairly reasonable priced, although I’m starting to want a discount. Or an personalized-clever-fix-ideal-budget sollution (see next post).
there was this fridge when i was little… a creamy white that came with age. and a vertical handle that i always had difficulties in breaking. it was older than anyone in the house (except grandma). i’m surprised i still remember it. but i do and i can think of no better way to add a personality to the kitchen than through a retro inspired design. the fridge would be a centerpiece, given the relatively small sized kitchen i have (no room for a kitchen isle). the problem, though, is that it’s 2500$.
but i’m not abandoning the search. what makes it harder is that i also have to think of the electric bill, and therefore can’t go for the genuine appliances from back in the day.
I would love to model my kitchen like this. Just the right amount of old school and industrial with all the benefits of moving things around.
The great liberty of a modular design is to be appreciated, I asked around and cooks told me so. I was planning on writing about this more extensively, but here’s everything in a nutshell: it’s better for me not to opt for a fixed kitchen (I think this is the current trend) since I don’t know exactly what kind of cooking and eating I will eventually prefer.
Kitchen mobility for the win!
