ARE YOU SOMEONE who stands and gazes into your refrigerator several times a day looking for inspiration for a meal, hoping for a tasty snack to appear or wondering, “What the heck is even in here”? You’re not alone! Most of us cannot claim that our fridges are inspiring or worth staring into, so when we stumbled upon Lynzi Judish’s fridgescaping project, we had to know more!
We asked Lynzi how, when and why she started:
Cottages & Bungalows: How did you learn about this fun art form?
Lynzi: I was not the person who started this by any means! I decided to try fridgescaping after seeing a few other creators doing it on Instagram. I thought it was such a cool way to beautify an aspect of the home that usually doesn’t get a lot of attention. I did some research after deciding to do it, trying to find other creators to glean ideas from and, honestly, I couldn’t find many. But I did discover that a woman named Kathy Perdue is the one who coined the term back in 2011. I followed her on Instagram @perdue.kathy and read through her blog at agoodlifeofdesign.blogspot.com. She’s a design consultant and has quite the eye for color!
Cottages & Bungalows: Can you tell us a bit about your process? Lynzi: After I pick the theme itself, I’ll start by brainstorming some ideas for it. I usually just keep a document and jot down ideas as I think of them as I’ll pick the themes weeks before I even do them. I’ll also write down items I have at home that will fit with the theme. I have certain types of items that I almost always use, such as a butter dish, egg tray, berry baskets or some sort of holder for them, fruit baskets, pitcher and a vase.
