Having your own microwave and refrigerator in your classroom is common in my school. I am very fortunate that someone donated me one of each! Now my fridge was UGLY!! Like 70's era fake wood paneling ugly. So I decided to use my mad skills to spray paint and chalkboard paint the mini fridge to give it a much needed face lift! I decided to go with a shade of purple matching my classroom theme colors of green and purple. This design fits perfectly!
I am in the process of discovering yard sale items to use in my room. I picked up a book shelf and mirror that need some love.
See isn't it an eye sore! My wonderful handy husband took the fridge completely apart. We then used sandpaper on all the surfaces that needed a face lift. After sanding and a nice cleaning, I sat outside on cardboard and painted the fridge. The purple is a Valspar's "Satin Sumptuous Purple" spray paint. I had to give it a few coats. Then I applied chalkboard paint to the door. I plan on writing myself notes on the door to hopefully replace all the sticky notes all over the place!
