Before & After: My Beloved Craigslist Refrigerator

When we got married, we had no appliances of any sort. So we decided to do what other broke newlyweds do – “Craigslist”! – Is “Craigslist” a verb now like “Google”?

Anyways, our refrigerator was a steal of a deal ($375?) that we got out of Austell. In the summer of 2009, Jason was in Augusta taking classes and living with our friends Paul and Shannon while I was living in Atlanta, getting used to my job. So it was up to my dad, my 5 year old brother Lucas, and me to move go retrieve the refrigerator. I planned it so we had already picked up the moving truck – a stroke of genius if I say so myself. Anyways, it was the first of many items loaded into the U-Haul headed for Augusta.

About a year ago, I attempted to clean this thing, but I couldn’t get into all the nooks and crannies since it is situated against a wall. This year, Jason pulled it out for me so I could take all the drawers out and clean it really well.

The method:

  • Move refrigerator away from wall – may need hubby’s help with this one 
  • Clear all items from refrigerator
  • Take out drawers and shelves that can be removed
  • Clean drawers out with warm water and soap in the kitchen sink
  • Spray 409 to your heart’s content and wipe with a sponge
  • Spray Windex to your heart’s content and wipe with paper towels 

 Before – Ewww! Yes, I am ashamed. 
After – Who knew a fridge could be this pretty?! I still sigh when I open it – 

Until next time…
