Would you ever paint an appliance?
I have had this crazy DREAM of doing this FOREVER because I loathe stainless steel, and JUST THIS WEEKEND told my hubby I want to try to paint the dishwasher and fridge the same color as the cabinets then painting the handles the same color as the cabinet hardware. I'm going to be watching this episode 1000 times!!! YOU ROCK!!!!
No, but I’m happy you’re happy.
Heck yes!!! My sister spray painted one years ago and it looked good😂❤ She is a fearless spray painter!
Scary ! No!
No. Never, ever. But I am impressed that your fridge lasted 18 years.
I remember when black fridges were all the rage. I didn’t realize they were returning. But glad you were brave for those who would like to attempt it!
Decades ago there was a sit-com called "Grace Under Fire". Every couple of weeks the main character, Grace, would be painting her fridge a different colour. She was working a dead end job living on the economic edge and trying to keep her kids fed. It was so hilarious. As a woman living with very, very, very limited means as I tried to finish my education, I felt like I had some sort of cosmic permission to make dumb decisions like painting my fridge! I used automotive paint. It was wonderful. My candy apple red fridge gave me great joy, so I painted the washing machine!
I loved Grace Under Fire!!
That's so awesome! And I loved that show!
Hahaha!!!
@roxiepoe9586 I love your sense of adventure!
Loved grace !! And her painted fridge
Karen from Florida 🌴💕
When your husband hugged you and mouthed the words, "Oh My Word!" I love him!
It’s so funny. I had no idea he did that. I thought he was just giving me a hug lol!!😂
@@designedtothenines Your husband is very brave too 😂 He's like "just go with the flow and maybe it'll turn out nice" 🤣
He walked away, like mentally preparing to invest in a new fridge 😂
I once saw somebody use peel & stick wallpaper on a fridge, and that turned out great! I'm not sure I would dare, but you are much braver than I! Also, your husband is such a sweetheart. You can really see how much he loves you and how much faith he has in you. If I painted my fridge, the first thing my husband would say is "Which of your youtubers did it? 😂
“What’s the worst that could happen?” My mantra for the past 2 months renovating and updating my entire house! 😂
NataLee, you can recreate the label in the ice door, find some brass colored card stock & use your Cricut to print it. Then, just slip it back into the clear pocket & everything should match! LOVE what you did to your refrigerator!
What a GREAT idea!!! I never would have thought of that!!!!!
I had the same thought. It definitely needs to transition into gold. Great outcome!
I was thinking same that her Cricut could come in handy here!❤
I suggested using gold vinyl but that would work!
Or black so it blends in and just the gold handles pop.
When I first got married I covered the rusty rental refrigerator (I had permission from landlord) in flowered contact paper. Wish I had a picture to share. The refrigerator looked so much better.
I painted my refrigerator because it rusted. It looks brand new now!
In the UK, we have a paint called Frenchie. You can paint your fridges your washing machines your oven even your kettle and toaster and it’s brilliant.
I would. My mother painted our fridge red. That was 67 years ago. It was a bad job but it started me on the "you can do this" journey.
Your fridge turned out so pretty! And your husband's support was so touching! I almost cried. That was so precious. How blessed you guys are to have each other. ❤
You have no clue how you have changed my life! I😊 am house hunting and turned down so many because I'm not a fan of stainless steel appliances. You changed that with this video!😅
@@susanbee8574I don't like them either, but I like the matte copper/rose gold type look that I've seen on the high end ones. IF I can ever do a remodel, I'm doing that shade lol. Don't care if I have to paint it to get it there.
My daughter covered her fridge with a beautiful fabric. She glued it on with PVA glue and then sealed it with a clear varnish. It’s lasted for over 3 years and still looks amazing ❤
Fabric?! Thats interesting!! Im gonna help a friend of mine do contact paper with an appliance type sealer om top of it to try to give it that "sheen."
Yes!!! I have heard of people painting their refrigerator! My parents had purchased an avocado green refrigerator in the mid 1970s. When they built their new house in 1980, they took their new refrigerator to an auto body shop to have it professionally painted a golden wheat color that coordinated with their new kitchen. It looked like they had bought a brand new refrigerator for their new house! The finish was super durable and It lasted a couple decades with no chipping and stayed looking gorgeous (well as gorgeous as a 1970s refrigerator could look) 😂
My inherited avocado green fridge, dishwasher (the one the hooked into the faucet and rolled away when finished) and range that my dad gave me just went out like 6 years ago lol!!!
I loved seeing Garald and Lori in the video. Two wonderful people that I loved knowing back in NH. Natalie, you are so talented!
Thank you so much! They’re the best! 💕
The black fridge makes your cabinets look even nicer. Good choice.
The fridge is amazing! Why not use your Cricut to cut out new dispenser control panel? It might take some design time but we all know you could knock that out of the park! I love watching your videos and you inspire me to be bold! And what about finding a used high end fridge like Sub Zero and transform the outside and have exactly what you want? I’m a Floridian too! Maybe we will meet up at IKEA!
I've learned so much about painting from your channel. #1, being patience. My dad always told me when I tried to rush a job,..."if you don't take the time to do it right the first time, when are you going to find the time to fix it?" Spend the time, and the $ the first time, so you don't have to spend more time and money another time. You do that well with all of your prep work, primer, etc. Thank you
One rainy day my children and step children were bored so I had them paint the fridge. We loved their creative expressions and enjoyed it for 10 years. A refrigerator is a large canvas!
My Dad painted my Mom’s white refrigerator avocado green in the 70’s to match her new double oven and matching stove top. It was PERFECT!
Nataliee,
If you have any of that tape left over after you complete the hood range, consider framing the silver panel (for tbe ice box) with it.
That should tie it all in. 💜
Lovely family. 💜💜
PS:
If you find the tape to be too thick & competing with the handles, then try thinning it down by cutting the width of the tape in half
That's exactly what I was thinking 🤔 😂❤
Ur husband is so trusting. He is funny.
Ur family is very happy to see you.
Lady when you tackle a project, you really tackle a project!! The fridge turned out beautifully!! Would I ever paint an appliance?? I would now!! You are absolutely amazing!! I'm proud of you!!
Your hubby made me LOL when he mouthed "Oh my word."😂😂😂
Take care beautiful lady and God bless you and yours!!❤❤
WOW Natalee, your refrigerator came out gorgeous. It looks brand new. Your husband is so sweet. He has faith in you and knows that you do great things. LOL
For the control panels you should try your crecut machine to print a sticker on top of the existing bottons
Your project came out awesome! I’ve seen people wallpaper their appliances too. Love watching your episodes and love your enthusiasm!
Use your cricket to make a new overlay for the ice/water dispenser 💡 It looks great!!!
Natalee, you’re very daring! Fridge looks great! Can’t wait to see the range hood. My husband used to paint cars, a couple of times people would have him paint their fridge doors, so you’re not crazy, people paint fridges. 😁
It turned out fantastic!!! Your husband is so sweet. He reminds me of mine, I’m a bit crazy doing things he looks at and then just walks away trusting me. And your daughter is simply gorgeous! The fridge is beautiful and I can’t wait to see the kitchen makeover! 😊😊😊😊😊
I ❤ your sense of adventure! The fridge looks STUNNING! You are so creative Natalee and you inspire me EVERY DAY! I look at the world differently since I started following you. Indeed, we are more powerful than we know. TY❣️. 👏🏻💖👏🏻💖👏🏻💖👏🏻💖👏🏻💖
Wow! That’s super sweet of you. Thank you so much.💕
Natalie, is there ANYTHING that you can't do??!!! Your hubs reaction in the beginning was PRICELESS!!💯😂🤣🤣🤣
OH! and of course we want to see video of Studio 5! ❤️💯 "It's all Natalee, all the time here on Design to the Nines". Hahaha! 😂😁😉👍
Thx for sharing your creativity!
I painted my freezer & it has held up great. It was white & in my garage. It started to rust, so I sanded it and rolled it black. Love it. You will like your fridge! Good luck!!!❤
I am SO doing this! I already have the range hood style that you're going to paint, it's the 90's wood now. My fridge is about 10 yrs old and I want to redo my kitchen, painting cabinets etc. I'm so jealous of that sweet husband of yours!
Go for it! and thank you so much!💕
Your husband is awesome. Always supportive. You got lucky with him. I have faith in you. I bet it will look great.
Yes, I painted the side of my refrigerator because it was warehouse damaged (scratched). This was a number of years ago and there was little info. I decided to use automotive paint and luckily I found some that matched the original. It turned out ok. Nowadays with the more info and soecial supplies, things have a much better chance of turning out well. Your projects always turn out good.
Amazing! Another Natalee miracle. You probably were planning to replace it anyhow, so if it doesn’t hold up, nothing lost.
Very nice! My daughter painted her old refrigerator 3 yrs ago and it's still going strong. She used the same primer as you and Sherwin Williams cabinet paint because she had that on hand in caviar. She even painted her handles with gold spray paint and they don't have any chips or marks. Going strong.
Oh my word! (Your hubby). That turned out fantastic. Natalee, you are fearless and after seeing how yours turned out, I'd be willing to give it a shot as well. If you save a fridge or two from the landfill, that's a real bonus too!
NataLee you are absolutely FEARLESS! Your Fridge turned out brilliantly.🥰🥰 Love your Husband's face when he hugged you and mouthed 'Oh My Word' It's lovely that he's so supportive of you, no matter what project you tackle! He's definitely a 'Keeper'
You have never had a project turn out bad!! I have faith!!!!
Gotta love a husband who's up for your shenanigans. It turned out great! It's one thing to take a beat up old fridge and paint it, but you had a nice one, so hats off to you! Can't wait to see what you do with the range hood!
That turned out gorgeous❣️ I never really expect one of your projects to not turn out great because they always do! Thanks for taking us with you on your trip, that must’ve been a ton of fun. You have a beautiful family. I’ve considered painting my daughter’s refrigerator until she’s able to get a new one. I’m thinking it should be easier because hers isn’t stainless steel, but you’ve given me the courage to go for it 😊☮️💟
Natalee, you are an absolute fearless woman! I don’t believe that there is ANY project that you can’t accomplish! Kudos to your talent! Your hubby’s reaction before you got it done reminded me of my hubby’s reactions when I am in creating mode. Both of us have good husbands for sure! The fridge turned out beautifully! I know you are happy to have it done. Always so much fun to see what you are doing next. Have a great weekend.
I'm so glad you did this video. I have always wanted to know how you would paint a fridge. It looks so good, it looks bought. Thank you so much for all your inspiration. I hope you didn't burn your bread and you didn't even taste test it lol. I knew when you started this it would turn out amazing because everything you do always turns out amazing.
thank you so much and I taste tested the bread about 13 minute mark. It was great.💕
You got this girl! Can’t wait for the finished product. You husband was sooo sweet about your project!
I have NEVER imagined painting any appliance!!! 😅But I’m definitely gonna watch how it’s done…you got guts, and a sweet husband whom believes in you. How sweet!! You go girl!!🎉❤
I think you absolutely can fix that ice label panel. I had to replace my washer key and got a sticky replacement label circle. With something like a cricket or whatever they're called, or with just your ingenuity, you can get a black sticky and write the ice maker identifiers on it. It will be out of this world....OH! You can write them in gold!
Last time I visited my daughter & her husband,I thought they'd bought a new fridge. Very classy. It turns out he'd painted it.
I'm only part way through this video, but I'm sure your fridge will look good ❤
Hubby was so supportive ❤
It will turn out fine, my daughter painted hers black about 25 years ago and now she uses it in their barn, which is an Event Center.❤❤
I've painted my oven once with Krylon spray paint for high temperature items. It lasted several years until we bought a new one. Never a scratch on it.
OMG Natalee. I have been wanting to do this. Thank you so much for this video. I think I am going to do this know. Your the best.
I had a frig and stove painted years ago.. turned out great!
I love your self-confidence! Congratulations! What a woman!!
Beautiful job! Love it!
I've never thought about painting my fridge. You did a beautiful job on yours. Can't wait to see your kitchen come together.
You are so talented! I always wanted to paint my white appliances to look like stainless steel. However, it took 8 years of replacing them one by one with the real deal. I wish I had been courageous like you. You are so awesome. I love so many of your orojects.
Thank you!☺️
You truly are amazing!! Anything you do always turns out beautiful...
Back a few years, auto paint shops used to paint refrigerators. There was a spray paint that was made for appliances too. You did a great job. It looks like a smooth finish. I hope it holds up.
I painted an older frig for my daughter and it turned out amazing. It’s still being used and looks great ❤️
That looks so good. You are a diy goddess! Thank you for sharing ❤
Crazy Awesome. Love that look.
Wow! Its beautiful!! The gold handles are everything!!!
I used contact paper on my avocado green fridge in the 80’s and I loved it!! Now I own a midmod home and would LOVE to have that avocado fridge back!! What’s old is new once more!
I couldn’t comment when it started, but I KNEW it would work out, because honestly everything you do works out. You are crazy talented girl! So fun to see you on Studio 5! I saw you the day it aired. You are so Beautiful. The Fridge is freaking amazing! I love it! It’s going to look so high end when you get the Range hood done. SO FUN. Good job! Better than I even imagined.
Beautiful job!!!!
What huge difference 😳
I loved !!!!
You never cease to amaze me! The refrigerator turned out beautiful. Love your use of black accents in the new house. 🤍🤍🤍
Beautiful job, you did something we’ve all wanted to do at times👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤
This was amazing! It looks so high end and beautiful! Makes me want to do mine. Thank you for sharing! You are so talented ❤
WOW Natalee, how amazing is the refrigerator, I LOVE IT!!!
It looks amazing
Keep going! Can't wait to see the end result.
Oh wow! The fridge turned out great 😊❤️
Love it looks so beautiful and looks like a new fridge Love the colors and who new about the towel bars just awesome
I love how cheerful you are and optimistic!
Thank you Natalie for just being you. You are the friend I need. Your video's are so much fun, show potential that maybe I can do it too. Truly you are and inspiration to me.💝
So funny,my son has been wanting to paint ours for awhile,love seeing this
Yes Natalie I have string faith in you it will turn out fantastic❤
Everything you do turns out beautiful
I am in AWE about how it all came together so beautifully, and that you really painted that fridge in your favorite caviar black and used shower towel handles?!!!?😲😜😁😍🤗Awesomenessssss!
You never cease to amaze me! I just love how we get to see your hubby so much now, you guys are so cute together!
Wow! Thats gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
This was so informative. You also used products I have never heard of too. Thank you!
Bravo the black fridge looks fabulous !!! I painted my furniture and kitchen cabinets with Emerald paint !
This is amazing ,I can only imagine how stunning it would with white cabinets ,Thank you for showing us how. Xx
I have immense faith in you. You're innovative and daring!
This is the most awesome DIY I have ever seen!! Love it!!
Crazy awesome for sure! Great job.
Great idea. I just parted with my 42 year old refrigerator. Love your idea. Keep going. Your inspiration picture will make your efforts worthwhile.
I too painted my fridge several years ago to match my cabinets. It turned out great, and has held perfectly.
Onet of my favorite videos thus far!! You and your hubby are the cutest! The fridge turned out amazing and I'm with you on that sourdough starter. I nursed and babied mine for a month and after 2 failed baked attempts, I threw my starter out. I will definitely be giving Wildgrain a try!
Years and years ago when kitchen appliances only came in 2 colors, avocado and goldish yellow, I worked at a auto body repair shop and was pregnant the time. My job was to sand the appliances so they could be repainted to match the kitchen remodels people were doing. I can say this for sure, back then the paint was baked on and super tough to sand. I hope your paint job holds up over time. Refrigerators in black at the home improvement center here in S Texas run about 2500-3000.
This looks great; but you definitely need to do something with that plastic gray panel! Cricket to the rescue, haha! Years ago, I watched Claire Risper paint her fridge here on YT. I think the prep portion is the key. It looks fantastic, another job well done! I'd love to do this on my stove and add new knobs! 😘💪🏻
I don’t know her. I’ll have to look her channel up! 💕
Love how it turned out!
It’s going to be just fine! All your DIY’s turn out just fine!
Never thought this would be possible, but all things are possible if you believe; it looks great. I will keep the door handle change in mind; very creative.
What an impact. The whole kitchen look changed completely, well done!
I painted an older, textured fridge 10 years ago with chalkboard paint. I didn't even prime it. It is just 2 of us, but the paint is still great! I painted the handles and they have worn, but it made it 10 extra years!
That is awesome!👏
Fabulous idea
Wow!!! So very impressive Natalie and brave but I knew you would do it! It’s beautiful and now take that extra 6-7,000 dollars and buy something for yourself you have always wanted! Well deserved! lol😘💜😊
I think it’s a great idea!!! I love when your husband comes in and shows support!!! You are amazing!
Oh my! The fridge looks awesome!😊😀
