I saw a pin on Pinterest about how to use vinyl placemats to line your fridge. That way, you can take them out and wash them, and they look so pretty. I couldn't find any I liked at the store, because my kitchen theme is olives/olive oil and hard to find.
So, I found a beautiful vinyl table cloth with olive oil and olives on it, so I made my own. here is what I did.
Tablecloth vinyl with a flannel back and was 52 in. X 90 in. Dollar General, $4
I measured each shelf, since they were different sizes. Cut the tablecloth to size, allowing for a small hem.
I sewed a hem on the cut sides. This helped them to lay down better, and I can just throw them in the washer on gentle cycle.
Next was the hard part...to clean the fridge out. Not too bad since the hubs did it after New Years. Then, wash, wash, wash.
I added a lunch meat and cheese container that can be removed to make sandwiches. I placed a vinyl-coated wire rack over it, so it can be removed without having to take leftovers out. My second from the bottom drawer is warped, so I can only put light stuff in there, so I put the shredded cheese and my meds in that drawer.
I moved all the heavy veggies to the bottom drawer. Works much better!
Here is the result:
I had enough material left over to make a mat for my coffee center, and still have about 1/3 of the tablecloth left for future matching projects.
Cool Idea!
ReplyDeleteKimberly, you did a good job on your fridge. It seems everyone wants to be better organized these days! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog, I appreciate your kind words. I have not been blogging as consistently these days but hope to get back in. With a new round of check ups and lots of family stuff it has been a dry time, blog post wise. But I find that if I post good content I get loads of positive feedback and earn a little money with Google, so I really need to jump back in. I just made lots of gifts using freezer paper stencils so that post is cooking in my subconscious. Bless you and keep your chin up!
