I love turning things I can’t even stand looking at into things that make me smile.  I had a very sad fridge.  It was original to the house and the lovely “almond” color that just looks like it was once a bright white fridge that is now old and tired.

Like most of us, spending $1800 on a new fridge is out of the question, so I began to brainstorm.  I remembered seeing posts about people painting their refrigerators and decided to give it a try.  I decided on chalkboard paint so I could write notes and grocery lists.

I primed it with Kills primer and painted it the black chalkboard paint.  I thought it would look best since our other appliances are black.  However, it ended up just looking like a black appliance.  So I grabbed the green chalkboard paint and I just LOVE it!

I also got inspired and decided to make cute magnets for the gridge.  I bought these typography letters a while ago at an antique store and really had no idea what to do with them.  Once I got my fridge done, I knew exactly what to do!

I took the letters and added a small magnet to the back of them with hot glue.  I bought 8 magnets for $2.99 (they are cheaper on amazon, but I didn’t want to wait!)

 These are for my three little B’s!  Baylor, Broden and Benson

Hope you get inspired this week to create something that makes you smile!
