fridges don't have to be frigid

While checking out Design*Sponge today, I came across a fridge covered with wood grain shelf liner. I love the idea of messing with appliances, because they can be pretty damn ugly and can often distract from any cute decor you've got going on around them. But this is brilliant!

Finally they can blend in, or stand out for the right reasons. I also love the idea of covering things in chalkboard paint, like the fridge below. I'm glad I've never bought a can of it, I think I would get carried away. I already entertained the idea of chalkboard floors. It's a terrible one by the way. (Chalk + socks + shoes = impossible to clean).



Another bad idea: fur covered fridge. I think I would lose my appetite before even opening it. Especially if I was after a glass of milk or a bit of jerky or something.


I think I'll stick to magnets for now since my landlord may not appreciate the aesthetics of a painted fridge.
