My eyes have been opened. Not everyone, it seems, plasters their fridge doors with postcards and magnets and recipes. Some prefer the sleek, clean, pure look of a bare fridge. Other poor souls do not even have the option of adorning their doors, their fridges being non-metallic or elegantly disguised as cupboards.
To all of you who weren’t able to join in the competition, I promise the next competition will be more inclusive.
Now before I share the fridges with you, let me point to towards my Flickr Fridge Set where where we can ooooh and aaaahh and puzzle over the finer details of the fridges individually. Wonderful idea, Lucy. 🙂
On to the doors!
Zoe – Progressive Dinner Party
Canberra, Australia
Love that Zoe’s 4 year old son’s to do list includes “Woch Woms anD Goit” i.e. watch Wallace and Grommit. A boy with his priorities in the right place.
Kathryn – Limes and Lycopene
Sydney, Australia
There’s that diet character from Little Britain! I hate her so much she’s great!
Lucy – Nourish Me
Melbourne, Australia
The woman who can make anything look beautiful does it again.
Chelsea – Figs and Twigs
West Virginia, USA
This fridge is actually a washing machine – see, I am inclusive!
Jess
Hawaii, USA
Jess doesn’t have a blog but she does have an AMAZING Flickr site which makes me want to move to Hawaii. Now.
Deb – Deb’s Key West Wine and Gardening
Key West, USA
Come back soon, Deb! The blogsphere misses you!
Kelsie – Travels With My Fork
Glasgow, Scotland
Kelsie sent me no less than three fridge pictures. A true fridge door lover.
Bev – B Baking
Belgium
Bev’s blog is new to me. Gorgeous pictures of gorgeous cakes. 🙂
Christina – A Thinking Stomach
Pasadena, California
Christina has just moved into her dream home (and mine) but managed to snap this picture of her old fridge before she packed up. Love the big brown eyes top-right.
Sylvie – A Pot of Tea and a Biscuit
Manchester, UK
Dinosaurs! Fantastic.
Rachel – Coconut and Lime
Baltimore, USA
There’s a pug on this fridge. A sign of good taste, in my humble opinion. 🙂
Rosa – Rosa Jackson’s Edible Adventures
Nice, France
Rosa’s son Sam is the artist. I’m in love with that pink bug. Absolutely in love.
Genna
Kintore, Scotland
My best friend Gen’s fridge. Her spaniel Rufus wrote the message to Marco. 🙂
Lysy – Munchkin Mail
Warwickshire, England
So much do I love the quotations on Lysy’s fridge, I’m going to put them on my own!
Cindy – Where’s the Beef?
Melbourne, Australia
I’m trying to figure out where that postcard is from… Hmmm….
Johanna – Gourmet Green Giraffe
Melbourne, Australia
A definite giraffe theme going on here. 🙂
Mary – Shazam In The Kitchen
Ohio, USA
Two pictures as Mary uses two sides of her fridge. Just as well – look how much is on here!!!
————————–
Marco will randomly select a winner tomorrow. 🙂

Another entry!
Nathalie – Spaced Lawyer
Rome, Italy
A late entry. Just couldn’t say no to the one sleek fridge sent to me. 🙂
we LOVE the fact that marco is choosing. whenever we can’t (or dont want to) decide on something we let our dog sila choose. dogs are smart! fab competition!
LOVE IT! Sorry I couldn’t get the fridge pic in on time but it’s so low down I don’t stick things on it. If you had asked for a pic of my pin board/s however, you would have been in for a shock…
Your pictures make me miss my old fridge. The new one hides behind a wooden door and the washing machine is in the utility room downstairs so no good as an alternative. Might have to invest in a magnetic notice board…
What great fridges! Really interesting and fun x
I love the roundup! What a creative event!
How fun! I really, really enjoyed looking at all the fridges! I haven’t had so much fun in a roundup in a long time!
“Sleek”, “clean”, “pure” are words I’d love to use about my house and kitchen. But boy oh boy I’m so far off that mark.
Love the fridge round-up Wendy.
Thanks for such a fun idea – I actually found some magnets I had forgotten about in shuffling for this event and now I feel like going out and buying more – such cool ones in this round-up!
That’s a fun gallery! Our fridge is behind an oak cupboard door, matching the kitchen we gained with the house. Our old fridge freezer is black and is in the utility room – it used to be plastered with freebie magnets from felix cat food tins!!
This has inspired me to find some fun new magnets and postcards to celebrate the new fresh blue colour scheme!
Celia
This was so much fun seeing what other people put on their fridges! I have lots more sayings in the same set made by my sister – would be happy to send you some!
Lysy
It’s great to see everyone else’s fridge doors!
ooh that was fun! I love seeing everyone’s fridge doors! Now I have lots of new blogs to visit too”! Yay!
Too much fun! Thanks for getting this going. I love that we are all incidental collage artists when it comes to our fridges (or washing machines, as the case may be)… How creative!
How Great! I wish I had saw this in time to participate. Love the pictures. Mine is covered in magnets, recipes, a need to buy stick out list, and a knife holder that also holds your small chopping board, and a ton of magnets my sis gave me, lol, she works at a fertility center so they are of the phases of change a fetus goes through, lol.
That fridge art is fabulous! I am feeling a little morose about my little fridge hidden behind it’s door! I think you should do this again sometime 🙂
Love the fridge doors. I am actually starting to hate my fridge – not only does it have a non-magnetic door but it is also way too small. Time to trade it in for a lovely one that I can decorate. Incidentally, I have a pin-board in the kitchen instead which is bursting to the seams with photos/notes/post cards etc…
Am way too late for this but finally rose to the challenge – and extended it! Want to share what’s lurking behind the fridge door?

Looks like a fun way to brighten up the kitchen!
