Spring Cleaning: Part 1

I have been so busy cleaning out my kitchen cabinets and sprucing up my porch that I haven't had a chance to post. So I decided I would show you what I have done in the last couple weeks.

I am fortunate enough to have two refrigerators in my home, one in my kitchen (obviously) and one in the laundry  room. I have gotten to where I cannot stand clutter on my fridge and decided to organize the refrigerator in my laundry room using cork boards and dry erase boards. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the before, but you can imagine seeing magnets, pictures, work schedules etc. plastered randomly all over the fridge.

I went to my favorite store "Target" to get one large cork board for the bottom of the fridge and one small cork/dry erase board for the top of the fridge. I also got some scotch brand fasteners (velcro) while I was there. Just a note: I tried magnetic strips as well, but they were not strong enough to keep the boards on the fridge so I had to use velcro.

First I turned the cork board over and applied the velcro to the frame.

I put one on the top and the bottom for the small one and then for large one I put some on the sides and the top and bottom.

I peeled off the backing so it would be sticky and pressed the board  (making sure it was perfectly straight) to the fridge. 

Here is what it looks like with both boards on it! 

I found the cute magnets and tacks at Office Max to match.

Stay tuned and I will share with some of the other Spring cleaning I have been doing. It feels so good to be organized, just wish I had started a long time ago!
