So we have this old fridge that just keeps humming along mechanically but cosmetically it was getting really nasty looking. 

I used to keep papers, magnets and comics on it to cover as much as possible.

It was rusting from underneath the finish on the doors. I’m guessing that it was a manufacturing issue since the rest of it isn’t rusting at all. 

I sanded all the rust and painted over it with Rustoleum paint.

I decided on dictionary pages to cover the fridge. My thought was…it’s got to be better than the way it looked before. 

 

And in my opinion, it totally is!!  I still need to put a couple coats of sealer on top so I can wipe it down as needed. I picked up the Golden polymer medium I used as glue in the recycle center reuse room for FREE!!  Just two cheap foam brushes were purchased for this facelift. 

Yes, I know we’ll eventually have to replace this beast but until then it’s definitely a conversation piece in my kitchen!!
