DIY Chalkboard Refrigerator

You guys... this was the easiest and cheapest kitchen upgrade I have seen! And look how gorgeous it looks!! It took less than 30 minutes and $25. My fridge has been an eyesore in my apartment. Since I rent, I don't have a choice but to keep it. I was thinking about ways I can make my kitchen look nicer and this popped into my head. This is the perfect DIY for a renter! It is no mess, no hassle and it is easy to remove when it is time to move out. 

All you need is peel and stick chalkboard vinyl. I purchased (2) rolls off of amazon. It even came with a chalkboard marker. 

First - Clear off all items from your fridge. Then clean with soap and water. Make sure to dry completely. 
Next - Cut vinyl pieces to size. Peel off the back and stick onto the fridge. I laid the vinyl horizontally on the fridge, sticking from left to right. The hardest part was working around the refrigerator handle. I used a utility knife to get the perfect cut around the handle.

For this project, I used just over 1 roll. You could probably get away with one roll if you have a small fridge. I was being generous with my cuts in the beginning so ran out by the bottom of the fridge. 

Last - Let your creative side loose! Add some fun sayings, your own artwork, weekly tasks, or a grocery list :)

Thats it! sooo simple and it seriously changed the look of my entire kitchen (for the better). I am in love with this easy DIY!

Anchor
​I am a major fan of designing with trays. Having a bunch of trinkets can seem messy and cluttered. Setting those items on tray anchors the objects to that place. Trays help to make the pieces on your coffee table feel purposeful.

Create Varying Heights
Layering and using different height objects creates interest. You can layer books and place objects on top of coasters. Do not use all objects that are the same height (unless you plan on layering them). Varying height and width pieces are key. Make sure to not use too tall of objects as it may interfere with your view of the TV.


Add Intriguing Items
This is where your own personal style comes into play! Be sure to add objects that are personal to you and show off those things that you love. GET CREATIVE!

Go Green
Adding a plant to your decor instantly brings life to your coffee table. Your choices here are pretty limitless. Houseplants are a great for adding color and something organic. I am newer to the plant mom club so I prefer succulents as they are easy to care for.

Bring Some Ambiance to the Table
Last but not least, one easy trick to creating the perfect coffee table is to add a candle. This adds ambiance when you are relaxing on the couch or entertaining guests. It can also serve as a decorative object if the candle comes in a unique container.
