I really liked your idea here, if you had removed the glass and replaced it with a piece of 26 ga sheet metal, that would solve all your issues 😉

Hello, I use to work at a craft store and whenever we used that chalkboard paint we found we would have to mix it really well and it usually took 5-6 coats of paint to make it magnetic. There are little specks of magnetic material and it takes a lot more than they say to make it work. I would try some more coats. : )

I like this idea better than a cluttered looking frig. I have wood on my frig and dishwasher and love it and yes, it was done in the mid 90’s when we remodeled the kitchen. My frig woodwork has more detail on it compared to yours. It matches the cabinets. My cabin in WV has butcher block counters and the white cabinets popular in the 70’s when we built it; and I still like that kitchen too. I guess dated does not bother me.

This is a really good idea and something I will definitely have to try. Although, when i do things like this, they rarely turn out the way they are supposed to.

Very cool – I like that it’s magnetic. I just did a chalkboard for the kids for another project but I can’t wait until we have a wall in the kitchen that can handle a large one like this.

In reply to Kendra Cameron. I thought about it but we are going to get a new fridge when we redo the kitchen so I decided against it. Thanks for the great idea though!! :) Anna

Have you thought of painting your fridge with the chalkboard paint? A chalkboard fridge would be so cool!
