When Is A Refrigerator More Than A Refrigerator?

When it becomes a decorative element in the kitchen or blends away into the cabinetry. I saw a beautiful paneled refrigerator painted to match cabinetry in a kitchen featured in the current issue of Beautiful Homes Magazine (which, of course, I can't find a picture of online). I decided to search out the different ways of integrating a refrigerator into the kitchen without it looking like a refrigerator.

See if you can pick out the refrigerator in these pictures.



This one looks like an armoire. I think those are even tassels hanging from the handles.



This one is so pretty - it even looks like a painted cabinet.

This one blends in seamlessly with the surrounding cabinetry.

This one looks like it could be a pantry cabinet.

It took me a few seconds to realize that this mirrored piece is the refrigerator - draws and all!

Another that looks like it's a piece of furniture. I would never think that was the refrigerator!

Who would have thought a refrigerator could be beautiful!

Oh, before I forget - here's one for the guys. A toolbox refrigerator. Gotta love the creativity!
