Our side-by-side is smallish, too. But if we had bought a bigger one to fit the space in the old house, it wouldn't have fit in the space in the new house. It's a tight fit as it is. There's a drawer on the bottom of the freezer, and to fit the frozen pizza in, we take it out of the box and stand it up in the drawer. I, too, would love one of the french door fridges, but way out of our price range, and would require taking out counter and cabinets in the kitchen. We have a galley kitchen, so a bigger fridge would require a major remodel, which we don't want to do. We're still doing the remodel for the new laundry/sewing room and don't have all the baseboards and moldings up yet in the rest of the house. Then we have to remodel both bathrooms to make them bigger and more useful. Never ends!
