I know it looks pretty scary in there, but this is when we started to get really excited.
This week I might have less trash and spend a little more time polishing stuff.Next week, I might organize the stuff in the door..
Without fail though, every week when I do this little 3 minute thing, I end up feeling so much better about the whole fridge situation.Honestly, too, about my ability to figure out what to feed my family!So the repetition is where the (relatively) sparkly part comes in..
Here are some other little tips that make it get better and better and better each week when I clean it..I have this basket that I used to keep pre-cut snacks in.
I kinda got lazy with that, but I did end up finding a good use for it.
It’s great to have an easy place to toss all those oddly shaped veggies and stuff.You can get these boards in all different shapes and sizes and they’re made up of long strips glued together so you get that authentic “butcher block” look!
We attached the 2×2 trim pieces around the edges using clamps and wood glue and then sanded them down to be rounded on the edges once everything was dry.We’ve made this type of counter before and sometimes we’ll uses a few nails from the nail gun to hold everything thing in place too.
A little bit of wood filler helped to smooth everything out and then we were ready to finish it!.We did just a little bit of distressing around the corners to make sure things still looked a bit rustic and farmhousy and then I finished it exactly the same way as.
