Milk Crate for Wine!
September 9, 2012 in Building and Repurposing, Kitchen
Have you looked on top of your fridge lately? No… You might want to take a looksie….
I did.
…and I was HORRIFIED. Oh my goodness. It was. So. DUSTY. I know… this post isn’t off to a sunshine-and-rainbows start… but I’m just being honest. DUST-EEEEEK.
I decided that a top o’ the fridge makeover was due. Sorry guys… no “before” on this one. Trust me. It wasn’t pretty. Lots of dust, a couple baskets and a stash of wine glasses.
But now….

Rather than pile things on TOP of the fridge… I decided to use the otherwise empty cabinet to store things. Then, I fetched one of my new (to me) milk crates to double as wine-bottle storage! What do you think?!

I’ve had that silver horseshoe for years. It came off of a horse I bought and rehomed from the racetrack a few years ago. I painted it silver and hung it on my wall. (Sidenote – I’m happy to say he has a wonderful home with a girl that loves him very much!)
The letter magnets on the fridge were so super simple…. They sell a bag of the wooden letters at Michaels for a few bucks. I just glued magnets to the back and stuck them on the fridge. I love when people leave me notes to find later. Right now I’m sporting a “Hi D” and a “Wurp Wurp”.
Have you tackled any forgotten spaces lately? I feel SO much better now that the top of the fridge is clean.

Very cute! And I dread dusting above my fridge and cabinets.
Actually, I’m short….like 5 foot. I can’t see the top of my fridge. I figure if I can’t see it, it isn’t there. Sounds good to me! You did really well, though!!
I don’t need to look at the top of my fridge… I already know from past experiences.. LOL! Loving at the crate, chicky mama!! Waiting for my e-mail with some deets. *ahem*
love that crate…it’s perfect…xo
