"What do you ladies do with the empty space over the fridge?" asked CafeMom JasonsMom2007 recently over in the Design on a Dime Moms group.
So I'm curious. Tell us what's on top of your fridge? Share your ideas for keeping it organized.
Some of you in the group have canisters, a cookie jar, glass jars, a wine rack, baskets, plants, cookbooks, or other decorative items up on top. Some of your refrigerators are built into cabinets. Others have the microwave, toaster oven, or a TV on top of the fridge. And just a few of you have an empty spare nothing up there. You like it clean. One or two admit that the fridge top is a catch-all.
I fall into the latter. Our tiny 1920s kitchen doesn't have room for a fridge really, so ours is tucked around the corner in what used to be an outdoor porch (it's weird but not that weird). So because the fridge is out of sight for the most part, I do keep the tote with the cleaning supplies, the cereal boxes, and a basket for chips and whatnot up there. It's not pretty but functional.
+++ What about you? What's on top of your fridge? Any good ideas for using that space?

lol we keep cereal boxes on top of our fridge. lol not empty ones ! we're big on eating cereal
Dust. LOL
Also, cereal boxes, tortilla chips, a basket of vitamins, a mini painting that fell off the wall and we have yet to re-hang, granola bars...and get this. All of these block my wine glasses!!!
I'm not organized there at all.
Cereal boxes, Vitamins, Extra Napkins, Paper plates, and a empy glass canaster set.. lol pretty unorganized!
A box of oatmeal baby cereal, a box of rice baby cereal, a loaf of bread, and atm...a kitten that's trying to figure out how to get on top of the cabinets (they don't go all the way up to the ceiling).
Cereal and Cook books, and toward the back I have pot holders.
Love the dust comment, that is very funny. We keep snacks. Cookies if we have them, chips and my hubby puts his golf balls up there so our daughter does not get them and give them to the dog.
We have a glass pitcher, a mug and a few empty bottles of wine. oh and a wine bottle holder
Cereal, Chips, my bread box, dust.......................
I have a bottle of pancake syrup, 2 packages of disposable plastic cups, and one of those single-burner portable cooking stoves on top of my fridge... I would like to get some nice organizing baskets up there!
We usually keep a BUNCH of candy up there. In a big bowl, it's our stash. lol. We also have paper bags up there...and a deviled egg plate, and some other stuff...it's messy. Maybe I should clean it. lol...
