how to keep a pretty fridge

Pretty fridge 1 6326517851_3a7fa67470_z

I feel kind of ridiculous posting my fridge on the Internet! A few years ago I blogged this photo of a styled up fridge and my mom made it her mission to make the inside of her refrigerator all perfect and immediately started putting everything into glass jars and making cute labels. She's a much better Martha than me so I am just now catching on. The other day, after a grocery shopping trip to New Seasons, my fridge looked quite lovely. I have a weakness for good packaging design and have been known to pay quite a lot more for butter with nice labels. Here are a few ideas for keeping a pretty fridge other than spending your retirement on butter: 

1. Keep leftovers in French canning jars.

2. Use an egg crate.

3. Store veggies in cheesecloth bags. Buy here or make your own like Anabela.

4. Place a tiny vase of flowers in the fridge.

5. Clean your fridge once a week or whenever you shop. (Novel idea for me!)

6. Wrap butter, cheese, or meat in parchment paper and string.

Any other tips?
