Refrigerator Makeover

I think it's a truth universally acknowledged that men don't like chalkboard paint

(with the exception of Ryan Gosling).

So when I suggested covering the refrigerator panels that Tyler really disliked with chalkboard paint I was surprised he went for it.  Here's our before:  lots of wood.  Country style curved panels.

And after:
The panels are now just inexpensive luann (or however it's spelled)  so they could always be changed back, or replaced with something else.
I think Ryan would approve.

That is such a great idea! I wish I could harness just 10% of your ingenuity.

Does Ryan KNOW that he approves??? Does Ryan even KNOW what chalk board paint is??? You guys will do anything! So gutsy! An ENTIRE frig turned blackboard. Well, what next, I says.

Ok I had to actually go back to the first picture and search for the fridge! Love the idea! And WAY better than what it was.
