apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I just write straight on the fridge with the water erasable pens. It worked pretty well for me.

I replaced one of my cabinet doors with a white glass door. I use dry-erase markers to keep my shopping list, leave notes for my boyfriend, keep reminders at hand, and make art. It was a bit more expensive than a regular white board ($45 for a 15" x 39" door at Ikea), but it doesn't take up extra wall or fridge space.

I don't keep recipes on my fridge, but I do keep them in a mini scrapbook that I sell when full.

I play many, many rounds of the pantry game and so I'm constantly making up new things to cook and eat; usually, they turn out quite delicious!! The scrapbooks sell well on Etsy (so much, in fact, that my storefront is completely empty at the moment), and I love cooking, so it's a perfect match!

There is a fridge from whirlpool that has a whiteboard front! But on a different note i am alwways brushing up against my fridge door and i had to move my whiteboard as i kept erasing things so you may not want it too easy to get to. I use word on my laptop for everything even when i am baking that way i never lose what i am working on!

My friends just covered the side of their fridge with magnetic dry erase material that came in a roll. They peel it off and move it when they want to use it on the table or something, and then just stick it back on the fridge.

They got it online but don't remember where. Something like this, though: http://www.magnetking.com/#dryerasemagnet

You could use a mirror. They're really easy to clean up. Of course, for the fridge, I'd go for one of those cheap, lightweight ones, but I was thinking you could put it up near the mirror. Maybe one of those locker mirrors would work. I used to go to town with my dry erase markers on mirros in my old apartment all the time. Then again, that might look a little too college ... I think it's all in how you handle it. =)

I write recipes on old envelopes, or the back of paper going into the recycling bin.
Saves me printing it out (esp if I havent tried it yet and dont know whether its a keeper) and saves a piece of paper

I only wish that someone mentioned to me that stainless steel isn't magnetic and as a result, nothing on the front of the fridge.

:(

No matter how scuffed, most whiteboards spiff up nicely if you fully clean them by wiping them down with a cloth dampened with (cheap) vodka or watered down rubbing alcohol.

We replaced one of the panels in our fridge with a custom-cut piece of magnetic whiteboard. Throw in some cardboard or thin plywood on the back to act as a spacer and you've got a great solution if your fridge accepts such a thing. It's been fabulous!

My dream is a computer in my kitchen. Yes, the laptop travels there at times, but I get nervous when the mixer starts. Better to have an old computer that is a permanent fixture, from which I could access my files and my favorite websites. Or, ideally, one that is built into the wall or fridge...

But, for now, I have a magnetic clip on the fridge that holds the paper recipes for the week, in their order. A whiteboard calendar helps me track which meal is on what day.

Random recipes and grocery lists. Held in place by Endo magnets. I love the things. http://www.theendo.com/

If you don't want to write directly on your fridge, I bet you could adhere some contact paper to the space you want to use. When it gets messy you could replace it. And, your magnets should still work.

I write on my mirrors with dry erase markers. If your fridge is smooth I'm sure this will work there too. a lil windex or water every now and then will remove "buildup"

I use a huge binder clip & keep recipes on the inside of a cupboard door. Cheap & right over where all my appliances are, & out of sight when the door's shut.
