Mine are all dog related and I love them!

Not tacky at all, IMO and since it's my fridge I can do what I want, LOL!

Never liked things on the refrigerator. I do have a magnetized calendar on the side of ours.

IG is right, my fridge. I put menu, recipes, or whatever stuff there. Sometime cute jokes or dog or animal pictures. Sort of a bulletin board.

My husband’s a fridge magnet maniac. I think they’re tacky, but he loves them. At the end of every season I throw the sports schedule ones away. It could be worse. . .

It may look tacky but I have them on the side of my fridge. When we travel or go to concerts, we no longer buy mugs, t-shirts, etc. so we started collecting magnets to reminence where we’ve been or who we’ve seen. Yes it may be tacky but for we love it.

I have a nice little collection and I love them BUT when we moved into our house 7 years ago the fridge that came with the house had a smooth surface and every time I opened and closed the doors they would slide.... and I didn't notice (at first) that they were scratching the door !Off they came and I'll be far more careful with the next fridge.....

Had travel and humorous as well as a few inspirational themes. After paint job dh removed them. They are clutter but add a homey feel to a kitchen.

I can only put magnets on the one side of my refrigerator. Along with a calendar, I have magnets displayed. They come from different places I have visited and .other magnets have been given to me by family and friends as souvenirs from their trips. I have a variety and at the holidays I display Christmas themed magnets.

Decorating is whatever makes you happy and is a matter of taste. I think the magnets give my kitchen a cheerful look. My other rooms lean toward formal decor , the magnets add some fun.

My stainless steel fridge does not hold magnets much to my surprise and disappointment. However we have heating/cooling vents that the magnets work great on. I have a collection of them from all of the world and I love being able to display them.

A couple of my faves are:

"It's all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone!"

"My therapist has a wet nose" (with a pic of a doggy nose)

And of course, "I Love my Granddog"!

I have them on the front and sides. I don't care if anyone thinks they are tacky. To each their own. Sayings.cats, names, pictures. Also have cups hanging with my name and I have clocks in the kitchen also.
