The east wall of the kitchen--where the windows and sink are--is very short. I wanted to have the fridge on the left side of the sink and counter on the right, then cooktop and ovens on the south wall, but the east wall is so short, I would have very little counter space to the left of the sink wiht the fridge.
Enter John (mixrman)'s turquoise GE wall fridge. I've still got to work out the measurements, but if the wall fridge fits to the left of the sink, it will be fantastic.
I've purchased (but not received yet) a vintage 6' stainless Elkay Lustertone double drainboard, double sink. I forgot to save a picture before the seller pulled down the ad. It's got some pitting and someone took a rotary sander to the drainboards. It's going to take some elbow grease, but even with freight, the price beats a new one by about 1,600. That's worth a lot of hand sanding and polishing, but I think it is fantastic that seventy years later, Elkay is still manufacturing this same sink.

Now, I'm looking for the right wall ovens. There was a marvelous Thermador side by side double wall oven in Georgia. I was still wrestling with whether I was going to get a 40" double oven range or use the stainless cooktop with wall ovens. It finally clicked--I want wall ovens so that I don't have to bend down for ovens on a range. I missed the Thermadors by one day.
I'm undaunted. So far, it seems like everything I've considered and missed has been OK because as the plan evolves I find better options. I'm going to have faith that the same thing will be true of my ovens.
Best,
Sarah
