Build a fridge cabinet

A great fridge is a must-have in any kitchen, but it’s a large appliance and sometimes difficult to blend in with the rest of your room. Take a cue from Keeping It Cozy and build a cabinet around your fridge to help it blend in with your decor as well as to create extra storage. Complete the look with the Door-in-Door French Door Refrigerator from LG and take advantage of hosting more chilled items than ever with LG’s ingenious door-within-a-door feature. (LG, $3,500)
Make an accent wall

Remove those doors

Open shelving in a kitchen is a big step. Save some time and money by simply removing your cabinet doors, the way Rene’ did over at Bargain Hoot. It’s cheaper, the look is similar and you can always reattach the doors if you change your mind.
Frame it!
