Do you long for a fancier fridge? Me, too. But we can make a few simple upgrades and rock what we’ve got!
Is your bulb simply pitiful? You can switch it out for some bright LED lights! You will have an easier time finding what you are looking for on the lower shelves.
2. Right Product Placement
The door of your fridge fluctuates in temperature, which could cause early spoilage. We use DairyPure milk in our home (Learn more about DairyPure ), so we want to treat it as well as it treats us. We also want it to not go bad early. So DairyPure milk gets top billing.
3. Add Practical Design Elements
I added this shelf liner to the door area to make clean up easy and to help keep everything from sliding around. It’s functional AND cute!
4. Keep the Meat Neat
I LOVE using a small cookie sheet (with raised edges) to hold meat. This catches those juices and contains what needs disinfecting.
5. Keep It Cool
Refrigerators use coils for cooling. They get dirty and need to be cleaned roughly twice a year (dirty coils = less efficient refrigerator, and eventually, a dead refrigerator). The cleaning process is quick and didn’t require me to look like this guy, so that’s a win. This is the coil brush for the job.
Now that you have new ideas for making your refrigerator look good, you might need some inspiration for what to put in it! You can get DairyPure Recipe inspiration on Pinterest and you can follow DairyPure on Facebook.

My fridge is so ridiculous right now. It needs to be defrosted – desperately! And cleaned. Oh my gosh, it needs to be cleaned. But the thought of dealing with that makes me want to hide from my entire kitchen. 🙂 So I think I’ll start with a baby step and move my milk to the shelf. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get around to the rest of it…
I love it! You are already 20% of the way through the upgrade list by doing the 5 second project. 🙂 The other stuff can happen in time!
