making EVERYTHING prettier

so my family can't keep the fridge clean to save their sweet little lives. i can't tell you how often i've had to clean up syrup or something else that spilled in there ... especially when NO ONE spilled it and that's why they didn't tell anyone about it. magic, i tell ya!

i saw an idea on pinterest. and i totally copied it. ready? ready? use contact paper on the shelves. it cleans up well. AND if it's too hard to get off, take the contact paper off and put another sheet on. cheap, easy, and fast!! i took everything out of the fridge - cleaned all the shelves, bottom of the fridge, drawers, etc. ... i thought it was clean ;) nope. not so much. but NOW? well, take a look for yourself:

 this is the inside of the fridge as you open the door and look straight in. 

 the door of the fridge (i even cut out some contact paper for the inside of the clear buckets on the inside of the door)

and a close-up

i really looked and looked for a non-girly pink contact paper, but i couldn't find one. i know that i could have used vinyl, but ... i figured this was a good compromise for mr. wonderful - foofie enough for me and "non-foofie" enough for him. lol. i am SO excited!! tomorrow, i'm doing the freezer. if it turns out lovely, maybe i'll share that with you. if i'm brave, i will think of taking a before picture of that. :)
