The top of our 'fridge has a few teapots I use but rarely. We have so many magnets from travels on the upper part of the 'fridge it's a wonder the door doesn't fall off!

During the holidays I take most of the magnets down and put the photo cards we get from friends and relatives (mostly of the kids) up until February.

Ours is built in so Nothing on top. I'm so happy with that! The fronts are black glass, so ZERO magnets, pictures, nothing.

One of the first things I notice when I go into someone's kitchen is their fridge. Not so much about the color, or the size or if it is side by side or a plane jane older one, but what is on it.

My personal preference is to have nothing on the front or sides of the fridge, and only one decorative/usable piece on top (like a stack of mixing bowls that coordinate with the decor, or a pretty covered casserole in a wrought iron stand). I only want something on top that coordinates, and that I can grab and use to cook/serve.

Many folks use their fridge as a photo wall, a message center, or a display point for their kid's work and art. When my kid was little, I did post some of his stuff on the front, as well as those magnetic letters to spell with. But now that he is grown, I'm so glad to be back to the clean and uncluttered look. To me, a kitchen is cluttered and messing looking with the fridge is covered with stuff.

What does yours look like, what is on it, and why do you like it that way?

OMG I just spent yesterday de-cluttering my refrig from magnets and my child's school things because now my child is starting their second year of college this fall. I must say it looks so barren. Let's just say there was whole lot stuff on there through the years.

I have a very small space on the top of my fridge and store my cooling racks there. I am always grabbing them for something so it is convenient yet not noticeable. The front is always clean.

I have a pic of my daughter, a couple of reminders on the front and lots of papers stuck with magnets on the side. I never give a thought as to how other people,decorate their fridge, their house, their fridge, only a busybody would give it a second thought.

I have a SS French door with nothing on it. The only thing I have on top is my flyswatter. I think it is a great place to store it. It is always handy and doesn't show.

I won't put anything on our frig. It causes a messy look.

Do you have small children or grands? To me that makes a big difference. Of course, it's just a personal preference. It makes life more interesting that we're not all the same.
