Warning: Not for the unorganized . . .



I have been on a cleaning frenzy, especially where my refrigerator is concerned!
The first cleaning was "just because" I thought it was time.  The second cleaning
about a week later - I had spilled fish juice, talk about stink!

The third cleaning happened when I discovered I had purple splattered
eggs in my egg bin.  How on EARTH did that happen?  My blueberries defrosted
 and leaked off the plate and ran down the back of my refrigerator!




What a mess!  As you can see, I didn't realize how bad the
 "blueberry murder" was until I took the entire drawer out!


 Scrub, scrub, scrub . . . 


See how organized and pretty she is now!


 I love organization!  A special thanks to my husband for 
organizing everything as I washed and handed it back to him!

    This looks like my poor fridge! I wish mine were larger now that I have a teenage boy to feed!

    What a nice job! Don't you love it when a job has actual results one can see and, in the case of the fish juice, smell -smile-.

    Nice job. There is something about a clean organized fridge that makes all right with the world again.

    It's a big job (especially your blueberry leak) but so worth it when it is all tidied and organized. I clean my sister's fridge too because that is one job she really really hates. I'm so happy they are replacing their side by side this month after 14 years because it is so narrow. I'm weird, eh, excited about my sister's new fridge.

    It looks so nice!
    I just love when everything is scrubbed clean and organized.
    Puts a spring in my step, and a smile on my face :)

    Have a great week!

    Your refrigerator has to be on my wish list. The one I have was in the house when we bought and I TOTALLY DISLIKE SIDE BY SIDE REFRIGERATORS. There, now that I have said it, I feel better. Next house, this one is for sale, will be better, I promise. Now I feel better. Susan

    I see that Kim above had the same idea that I did. When you finish hers, could you come to Georgia and clean and arrange mine?
    Thanks!

    When there is a spill in the fridge it is a big job to clean for sure. You and Ron work nicely together. Organization is key!!

    My fridge is, most of the time, as good as empty (typical single woman fridge, just some bubbly stuff, a few yoghurts and bit of cheese in there...), so it takes only very little time to clean it out.
    Since I am a freak for tidiness and things being organized, I really like your organized fridge :-)

    Love your organized refrigerator. My husband is in charge of that job and woe is me if I put something back in the wrong place.

    I love your refrigerator. I cannot fit one in the space I have without some carpentry work and there would be too much involved. Hate the side by side - so small. We have an second fridge in the garage.

    Well, crud, you had to remind me, didn't you? When I get off this computer (soon, soon!) I need to clean my kitchen, starting with the interior of the fridge. Then, there's the pantry and china cabinet. (How DOES dust sneak into a closed-door china cabinet, doggone it?) Anyway, nice job. One of those jobs it always feel good ... to have behind you.
