Well, my grandparents recently moved into a hostel and we had to clean all their stuff out of the house.
I made the best find in the garage, a really old fifties/sixties style fridge, y know with the rounded top and the funny handle? and it still works!! Double bonus!! so I'm wondering ... does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do on the outside? or the inside or whatever!? it's currently cream in colour and I've been thinking about painting it, but I dunno any suggestions would be most welcome!! Also does anyone know of any really cool fridge magnet ideas??
Thanks glitterati!

painting it red would be silly. <33.

I love the vintage look! I wouldn't do anything to it, and just use it! Clean it, of course. Magnets is probably as far as I would go.... Marble magnets, of course! Maybe use a piece of cardboard or tackboard or something stiff... And print out vintage pictures, like pinup girls, and decopauge (sp?????) it to the board, and use a magnet on the back?

Hey, I saw this idea before.... You can use the fridge as a closet for hanging your clothing!

There was this really cool display of refridgerator art in San Diego like a year ago. Different artists had done different things, like one was underwater, &... stuff. Link: http://www.artwalkinfo.com/fridge.htm
I've always wanted to paint racing stripes down a fridge, & a number. But I agree, it seems a shame to do it to a rad vintage fridge!
Magnets- I took foreign postage stamps, covered w/ contact paper, & glued a magnet on the back. I also took a doll's head, some fake flowers, & small toys & glued magnets on. They're fun! Just make sure the stuff isn't too heavy & the magnet's strong enough, or it will fall off & annoy you. Or you could shellack cookies or crackers & attach a magnet.

Slip cover it in fuzzy fabric. I think it would be a pretty funky looking fridge then. Just be sure to leave the back open so it gets the air it needs to cool off.

This post reminds me of a site I found today!

Click on the Northstar 50s fridge icon to see the pretty pretty fridges. I am in love with the mint green one!
