Fridgescaping

I agree with all of this.  I also think any one doing this online has a second fridge that does NOT look curated.  I do like having some organization to my fridge so I can see what I have and don’t end up with out of date food.  The examples in the article are just impractical to me - you can’t really see what is behind the front row of food + decor crap.

No, I misunderstood you, sorry. I originally took consuming the content from the viewer's perspective, as actually being engaged in the idea itself---appreciating it or wishing to emulate the idea, as opposed to simply bickering about it. 

But I realize now, that when looking at it from a content creator's perspective, as you were, the bickering is certainly the consumption they are looking for.

I do believe it is being shown only for clicks.

Now if by chance someone thinks it's a fun idea and goes for it, more power to them, but I doubt the creator of the content expects that at all. They simply know something considered outlandish by many will generate participation in the argument. 

This I've seen.  And it's exactly what I was expecting to see again when I clicked the link.

But to me this, and what is actually being shown in the OP here are very, very different from one another. 

So dumb.

Totally ridiculous. Looks like an awesome way to ruin those photos because I can’t think of a worse place for storing them with all the humidity inside a refrigerator. 🤦🏻‍♀️ There wouldn’t be room for all that excess stuff in my fridge. 

I think the all clear storage is kinda nuts too, how do you know when anything is close to expiring? 

I came across this on Tik Tok last week and was also incredibly confused how and why this became a thing.
Weird.

I’m on your bench.  What a colossal waste of time.  What is next?  Mounting photos and flowers to the inside of her toilets in special nonflushable vases glued to the side of the bowl?

I grew up with both milk and juice poured into jugs that were brought to the table. None of us kids kept it up into adulthood much to my dad's dismay. 

I am so tempted to fridgescape next time DH is away. I need to start collecting little dishes, candles and baskets now. How long do you think it would take to transform? Could I do it if he was away overnight or do I need a couple days?

I already have a hundred things like that. Now I'm tempted to do this just because, and share it here.

But not until I get my grocery shopping done.

I hate watching other people's videos, unless they are cats. 😁

I think if I wanted to do something along these lines I would do drawer-scaping instead. Open a drawer and find something unexpected, but cool or pretty in there along with the normal boring contents like towels or socks or whatnot. Of course that would mean my drawers would have to have extra space in them, and while I do not see myself as owning an immense amount of stuff, I do have the tendency to overfill any drawer I have access to. So I'd never have that possibility.

But it would be like putting a ribbon wrapped bundle of lavender in a drawer, kwim? Just an updated throwback to something people used to do. Lavender in with the face cloths, or a framed photo on top of a stack of shorts, or some little antique kitchen tool in the drawer with the cloth napkins. The good news is I'd have to give away more stuff in order to make any of that possible, and I could source the cute things from what I already own. Might serve as a reminder not to buy more stuff that would take up the space for the cute thing.

Might be especially fun if you have a guest bedroom, and you can surprise your guest with little surprises. Maybe some local items you tuck into the drawers like little gifts. 

That made me laugh!!

To each their own… goes against my Swedish death cleaning minimalist heart but if it makes her happy then so be it.
But I am also left asking - where does it end? Toilet cisterns, washing machine interiors, the inside of your oven? I think if I was using my fridge to store ornaments I’d ditch the fridge and just put in shelving instead so I don’t have to open the door to view my pretties… and I don’t care if not having a fridge is weird to others it just has to work for the owner.
It does make me wonder why more news stories are not being made on actual news though… there are still conflicts etc throughout the world that are very nuanced and need more coverage on ALL of the different viewpoints and yet this “news” company is getting article ideas off tik tok??? Journalists of old must be turning in their graves…

I knew nothing about this until about 2 hours ago when I opened this thread. Now I'm all about a nice organized fridge but this is just...I don't know. However, scrolling through IG just now Iliza Schlesinger, comedian, made a hilarious video reel on this exact thing!
