These fridge mats are so adorable!!
I love them!
They just dressed up my plain ole fridge. Well, it is just a fridge...
Am I so desperate to decorate something, that I decorate my fridge? Yep! I guess so!
I have to tell you that this was not my plan for tonight's post.
The plan was to do another awesome frame post! I had this idea, but I needed Hubby to cut something out for me.
Well, that plan was supposed to happen this afternoon when we got back from working at the apartments.
When we got back I showed him everything I wanted. So good, so far! He said no problem! Oh wait...The saw is at the apartments! Really? Are you kidding me? We were just there! Ugh!
Ok, another day.... Hubby is overnight two nights a week, so that means, it won't be happening til this weekend. (If I'm lucky.) We'll see.
On to Plan B. Not that I actually had a Plan B...
These things have been on my counter since we went to IKEA back in February.
I know, I know. And when I realized how EASY this was. Ugh... I don't want to talk about it. :P
Anyway, they are just plastic placemats. The neutral ones on top I picked up at the Dollar Tree, but I was going to have to cut and tape them together to fit my fridge.
So, when Hubby and I saw those bright and springy ones at IKEA it was a no-brainer, plus they were more square like my fridge shelves.
These will be nice and easy to clean. If there's a spill, I can just take out the mat, clean it up and slap it back in.
I don't even know what that is. I don't want to know. So, I guess I'm cleaning the fridge out tonight too.
That's fine.
The first shelf I did, was super duper easy. Cleaned it up took the sticker off the back and slapped it down. It fit perfectly! No kidding!
The first one was so easy, I only had to do a bit of trimming on the rest. All I did was mark it, measure it, draw a line and cut.
I'm sure you are overwhelmed with the difficulty of this project, but trust me if I can do it you can! (Oh, did you note the hint of sarcasm?? :D)
Okay, all done! Awesome, right??
I really love the way it makes the fridge look so clean and fresh! The items seem to pop off the shelves.
Maybe Hubby won't have such a hard time finding things in the fridge? One can hope. :)
Now, do you think I'm nuts for decorating my fridge?
Grab some placemats and freshen up your fridge!
Thanks for reading!
Bye for now...
Oh I love this idea. Was going to wrap the glass shelves in Press n Seal (read that somewhere), but this looks so much fresher!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan! It's so incredibly easy, cheap and makes opening the fridge fun!
DeleteI tried the Press and seal and I found that the glue left a sticky residue on my shelves. Wasn't impressed.
DeleteGreat idea! I don't understand how the fridge shelves get so darn gross!
ReplyDeleteIf you are really that desperate to decorate, come to my house! I've lived here for three years and still haven't hung up pictures or art on the walls!
Haha!! I know I don't know how they get so dirty! I really haven't done that much in my home and we've been here a little over 3 years! There's so much I want to do! You can do it!!
Deletewell that's me too , i have been in my home for 2 years and still a lot of things is still missing... :'(
DeleteAll in time, Yasmeen... There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day... :)
DeleteThe fridge mats are such a great idea! Someone in my house is always just shoving things back into the fridge, knocking over jars and bottles in the process, and it can really make such a huge mess, I hate pulling out the entire shelf to get it really clean. We recently redid our kitchen, so we have shiny new floors, cabinets, walls, and countertops, I think it's time the fridge got fancyfied too!

Thanks, Shannon! It was my pleasure!
DeleteJust yesterday I did something very similar with placemats in my pantry - the post will be up in about a week - I was thinking I should get some more and do something similar in the fridge. This is exactly what I need to do!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love re organizing.... I just need to do it more!! I bet they look great!
DeleteI love the crispy and decorated look of these however, after doing this my fridge and lower levels are too dark. :(
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! Aww bummer. Mine were a bit darker, but not enough to make want to take them out. I guess it depends on where you fridge light is. For me, it seems like items jump off the shelves. It isn't as hard to find things.
DeleteThanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your comments!
Blessings,
