Is there any way to create some sort of vented area above it (behind the cabinet above it)? As for wiping them down we just use a moist microfiber cloth. Hope it helps! xo, s

My dishwasher broke and to fix it will cost approx $250 and the Gallery series frigidaire is on sale at Lowes for $379...next thing you know it I'm looking to replace my dw, fridge and double wall oven all in Gallery series....but I'm concerned b/c there will be only 1/8" clearance on each side of fridge- recommended is 3/8". I don't want to move the side panel. (btw the doors will have plenty of room to open on their hinges since the fridge juts out enough). thanks! oh and my other question….frigidaore recommends using only soap and water or stainless cleaner on appliances and NO paper towels…what do you guys use?

As far as window treatments, what about cafe curtains? Limitless fabric options. Not much obstruction. Great reno! I see I’m late to the party… As far as window treatments, what about cafe curtains?

How much fun are we having reading through all of your tips! Quick question - your gorgeous kitchen - where is the microwave? We love the structural artwork that is your range hood and would love to do something similar, yet hate to lose precious counter space by not having it over the range. Thanks!

Hope it helps! If you can work with the cabinets you have you'll save a ton of money (we had to reconfigure everything, close off a doorway, and install all new cabs so it was a pricier reno than some kitchens call for). In our new house we're planning to work with the cabinets for a much cheaper overhaul, so stay tuned for that too. And good luck! xo, s
