WE HAD THIS FRIDGE FOREVER AND I HATE THE COLOR. IT DOSNT MATCH ANY COLOR IN MY KITCHEN SO I ASKED MY HUBBY TO COVER IT UP WITH THE LEFT OVER WAINSCOTTING AND I PUT A DOUBLE COAT OF CLEAR POLYURETHANE ON IT. NOW IT BLENDS. THIS WAS DONE ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAD DONE THE SAME THING. IT HAS DARKENED THROUGH THE YEARS. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT I WAS NUTS, THEN CHANGED HIS MIND WHEN THE COMPLIMENTS CAME IN!

STILL HOPING FOR MY NEW STATE OF THE ART FRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Pattern or design used: My own design

This is a very clever disguise. You and your hubby make a great junking team. You do the thinking and he does the labor. Ha! Love it.

Take care,

I would LOVE to do something like this in our kitchen!

Anyone have any ideas about a similar project for a stove?

Thanks for sharing!
