I was introduced to Poppy Seed last April at SNAP and I’ve been a HUGE fan of theirs ever since! Recently, I decided I needed to take some time to reorganize my kitchen and my bills, so I thought it would be really fun to incorporate Poppy Seed projects into my reorganization! Check out my makeover!
Here’s what my fridge was looking like before…I had bills, invitations, my son’s artwork, and more scattered all over my fridge.
Bills were just thrown in a basket on my countertop that I sorted every few days or so and decided on what to shred, throw out, and keep. I didn’t really have any system of organizing our family clutter…and wanted to change that and make it fun at the same time. So here’s what I did…
What you need:
3 mini frames (Eleanor Frame) from Poppy Seed Projects and two large frames for artwork
three plastic hanging shelves from Target
spray paint
Scrap book paper
3M Velcro Command Strips that hold up to 8-15 lbs. for all the frames and bins (I used two for each attachment)
I made two spaces for my son to hang his artwork. I mod podged and hot glued clothespins onto the frames to hold his art in place.
I bought a simple dry erase board from Target to keep a running list of groceries we run out of during the week.
I created a second artwork spot on the fridge, as well, so that we could rotate old work out and replace it with the new stuff regularly rather than have tons of it pile up.
My gift partner from Craftaholics Anonymous gave me that pretty monogram, which was perfect for my makeover project!
My bins were labeled “Pay It”, “Keep It”, and “Shred It”.
Overall, I was able to use most of the side of my fridge, which will free up room on my counter that used to hold all this stuff!
I’m still so thrilled with the end result and have two more projects in the works using Poppy Seed Projects that I cannot wait to show you! 
Disclosure: Poppy Seed Projects did provide me with the frames free of charge to complete this project; however, all opinions are 100% mine (of course!).

Great job! Where did you get your bins? And how are they sticking to your fridge?
I love this! How exactly did you adhere the bins to the fridge?
What a neat idea. I like the folder bins. It looks really good!
I love this! We just got a stainless steel fridge and it’s not magnetic in the front but it is on the side. This would be perfect for organizing all our stuff. Thanks for sharing!
wow.. How neat and effective. Thanks for linking up at Friday Fun Party. Have a nice weekend!
This is sheer genius! I hate having my fridge look all crappy, but I’ve never been able to avoid it. I am definately gonna attempt to replicate this!
Stinkin Great! Seriously. You made all that usual junk look organized and lovely! If you get a sec I would be jazzed if you stopped by and linked up at my party {Get Schooled Saturday} going on right now!

Just wanted to invite you to join my Tasteful Tuesday Party.

Hope you can come by and check it out! http://www.nap-timecreations.com/2012/08/fresh-pesto-pasta-salad-and-tasteful.html
What fantastic ideas!! I love them all. Especially the artwork frames. Megan
I first saw the baby shower gift you made, then this. Everything’s so cute! Now following via GFC.
Where did you get the bins and how do they stick to the fridge?
Love this! Fantastic idea! I definitely need to do something like this with my fridge!
Great job and ideas, pinning it!
Oh my goodness! I’m giddy just looking at how organized this is! I love the bins for storing papers!
This is so great!
It looks so cute – it is a great way to stay on track! LOVE it!
How do the bins stick to the fridge??? I really NEED to do this. My fridge looks very much like your “before” photos. HELP
I was also wondering about the bins. Did you attach magnets to them or use some command it stickers to attach? I am excited to do the same thing. Thanks for the great idea.
Danielle, they are attached using Command Velcro strips.
Darling ideas I’m going to use to make the side of my fridge work for me!! Thanks so much for sharing!
