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 🌴💕
“What’s the worst that could happen?” My mantra for the past 2 months renovating and updating my entire house! 😂
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? 😂
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.
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.
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."
The black fridge makes your cabinets look even nicer. Good choice.
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!
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!!!
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!
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
Ur husband is so trusting. He is funny.
Ur family is very happy to see you.
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! 💕
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
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!!❤❤
Your project came out awesome! I’ve seen people wallpaper their appliances too. Love watching your episodes and love your enthusiasm!
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 🤔 😂❤
For the control panels you should try your crecut machine to print a sticker on top of the existing bottons
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. 😁
Use your cricket to make a new overlay for the ice/water dispenser 💡 It looks great!!!
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!
Your husband is awesome. Always supportive. You got lucky with him. I have faith in you. I bet it will look great.
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! 😊😊😊😊😊
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.
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!
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'
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.
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!
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 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!!!❤
You got this girl! Can’t wait for the finished product. You husband was sooo sweet about your project!
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!💕
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.
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 ❤ 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.💕
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.
Hubby was so supportive ❤
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 ❤
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'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.💕
I had a frig and stove painted years ago.. turned out great!
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 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've never thought about painting my fridge. You did a beautiful job on yours. Can't wait to see your kitchen come together.
You never cease to amaze me! The refrigerator turned out beautiful. Love your use of black accents in the new house. 🤍🤍🤍
I painted an older frig for my daughter and it turned out amazing. It’s still being used and looks great ❤️
So funny,my son has been wanting to paint ours for awhile,love seeing this
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.
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!
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 😊☮️💟
Wow. Absolutely stunning. I have painted two refrigerators due to rust.
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!
Bravo the black fridge looks fabulous !!! I painted my furniture and kitchen cabinets with Emerald paint !
My first apartment, 45 years ago, had an old -ugly refrigerator……..I covered it in a flowered contact paper ……. Unique and actually cute !
The fridge turned out beautiful. Your daughter is gorgeous. What a wonderful loving family you have.
So good to see your parents and daughter, I bet they’re so proud of you!!! NataLee you got me, I was doubtful (kinda like your husband😂) but you did it, you can do anything!!!💕💕💕💕🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍🙌🙌
I've painted a fridge before and a dishwasher. Granted, it wasn't a stainless steel one, but it worked a treat and it held up for years.
turned out amazing! Great job!! Perfect situation for a temporary fix until you get your new kitchen. I'm with you, I'm not paying $5k or $10k for a freaking fridge! Insane.
WOW Natalee, how amazing is the refrigerator, I LOVE IT!!!
You are more powerful than you know! KICKIN Aaaa-pliance! Have followed long enough to know, YOU GOT THIS! I may have to cover my eyes (some times until the end), but you always nail it. Truly love your courage, and the results! Handled it like a pro!
On that control panel, gold wasabi tape trim? Or car pinstripe in gold. I was going to suggest smoked clear cling knowing many would say but you can't read the control. Just snap a pic of the control panel before and post it inside the door for quick reference. Odds are 18 years of use you know the panel pretty well.
LOVED THE encouraging/supportive HUBBY insert! AND congrats on the Studio 5 segment. They have always recognized top shelf quality in you! XO
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.
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!
There is appliance paint at Home Depot and we used it on our dryer and the finish held up until we sold it, many years later.
My brother painted a 1950s era fridge he put in his basement re room. We thought he was as nuts at first, but in the end it was GREAT! I have faith in you Natalee!🙂
🥰🙏💕
Yes Natalie I have string faith in you it will turn out fantastic❤
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.
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
I absolutely love my botton freezer drawer next a drawer and double door. The drawer is used for so many things.
Beautiful job! Love it!
I painted my first refrigerator 35 years ago. My parents gave me and my husband their old refrigerator and it did not match my kitchen so I painted it gray and it was awesome!
LOOKS GREAT
Looks good ! Nothing ventured nothing gained! You go girl!
Crazy Awesome. Love that look.
Everything you do turns out beautiful
Wow! Its beautiful!! The gold handles are everything!!!
I gotta say I was like your husband I had my doubts but you totally nailed it! I never should of never doubted you because you always amaze me ! Love it !
It looks awesome
It looks amazing
I love your self-confidence! Congratulations! What a woman!!
What an impact. The whole kitchen look changed completely, well done!
Now I know there’s nothing you can’t do! WOW my mind is blown!!!
