We have had the issue of tiny fridge since we moved into this house, it came with the house so we have dealt with it as an inconvenience.
Its literally so small that it is shorter than I am it comes up to about my cheekbone. You can't fit much in the freezer at all (thankfully we have a deep freezer) and grocery shopping was always a Tetris game upon returning home. Add a breast fed baby to the mix and the freezer is quickly over taken by frozen milk storage and the fridge by the daily milk stash...ugh. Top it off with wire shelving so that everything you touch falls over and doors with shelfing that pops off when the door shuts too hard so you have a fridge full of everything that was in the door.
Here it is packed to the gills and we barely bought anything grocery shopping the other day. Needless to say adding Addison to the mix means that that crappy
wonderful tax return was going to a nice new fridge of larger than 11cubic feet!

I dreamed of wonderful side by sides (none which would have fit into our kitchen where it needed to go) and I dreamed about getting one with the bottom freezer but for the extra money that it cost to get that option I just couldn't justify needing a fridge like that when we do have a deep freezer for the big stuff.
So we got a new 18 cubic foot standard old school white fridge. But none the less I am in love with it.
Look at all that space!! This is everything that was in the top picture of the little fridge minus the casserole dish leftovers that I tossed. (don't mind that the kickplate was not clicked on the bottom yet here, I was excited to load it back up) Why do we have 4 jars of pickles in the fridge? I have no clue. Addison even gets her own space.
and the freezer space, amazing. I hadn't reloaded the freezer yet when I took these but, I love the little pull out basket for veggies that don't stack up well. (that plastic thing is for milk storage if you were questioning that) The shelves on the freezer door have the capacity of almost as much as the entire freezer of the old fridge! and theres a light in there..fun! Oh and don't worry while the fridge was pulled out I cleaned the floor under there! :) What you can't see in the dirty floor picture because I had swept already was the pile of 6 hair ties that the cats had played with and knocked under there and the toy mouse that my husband thought was a real dead mouse as we were pulling the fridge out! Oh the treasures we find!
