It’s a fridge makeover

Our fridge, though quite large and pretty awesome, isn’t so great on the good looking front. We’ve been lusting after Lara Rossignols gorgeous smeg refrigerator on her photo blog called Piewacket for awhile now. Let me tell you, I’ve had dreams of this fridge (really). The style is pure perfection.. but alas, why in the world would we spend $2000 on a refrigerator when we already have a perfectly good one?

1 can of magnetic primer, a can of chalkboard paint and some leftover paint for the trim, after.

Sure, it’s not perfect. It doesn’t have the smooth retro lines and glossy color like a Smeg… BUT, now it’s a menu board/inspiration board/ refrigerator all in one. We pretty much love it.

    Anyone can buy a fridge (so long as they have enough money ;) ) but not everyone can choose to personalise their fridge and make it unique. Love the ethos of this blog and tossed you into the melting pot in my rss feed reader. We are just about to take an old defunct fridge and turn it into a bookcase…might even go hunting for some more at our local tip shop to make raised garden beds (water wicked) out of…recyling, re-using, repurposing…I love it! :)
