Our apartment has a plain old white fridge. So, to jazz it up a bit, I made some Pinhole Press photo magnets. Our gallery display makes our whole kitchen feel so much cozier, and Toby loves pointing himself out. For Mother's Day, I'm going to send my mom a package of family magnets:)What's on your fridge?
nothing on my fridge - stainless is not magnetic ;( these are lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I would love to have a collection of my travel memories up on my fridge :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! Love the idea of being able to make your own customized magnets. We have lots of magnets on our fridge as is, but it would be great to put some of our own photos up!

not going to lie, this is pretty cool. now all i have to do is decide on pictures to turn into magnets.
ReplyDeleteJoanna! I won the Pinhole giveaway last year from you and made these exact magnets! Pix from our wedding, one set for us and one for my in-laws for Christmas!
ReplyDeletegreat idea for gifts
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want one of Mick Jagger (obviously), other than that a cute idea.

Those are great!!! I love how you've got some celebrities on there!
ReplyDeleteOur fridge is full of various papers and family photos. :) And of course the schedule for the YMCA because my mom is just a wee bit obsessed!
How lovely! My fridge is covered with magnets of every place I visit. I know, I know... it's a bit kitsch, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy fridge is stainless steal on the front :( , but the sides are magnetic! When my husband and I go on a trip without each other (rare) the only gift we are allowed to bring back is the raddest magnet we can find from that city / state / country! Its a fun and inexpensive way to jazz up our fridge, bring a little culture into the kitchen, and most importantly, its a fun bond we have together. We also always choose one magnet to bring home when we go on trips together. Love your photo magnets! Toby is such a doll.

Thank you for the super easy and yet thoughtful Mother's Day Gift idea...you just saved me loads of thinking!
ReplyDeleteIs that your wedding invitation!? I LOVE IT!! So sweet that you still display it and get to see it every day :) I'm going to get one of ours framed, I think.
ReplyDeleteuntil recently we covered our fridge in pictures of our daughter and lots of toddler artwork...now we've a dedicated 'art wall' (a piece of string with pegged up finger paintings and photos!). in their place on the fridge is our 'happiness' calender...it has some ace shots i'd love to magnetise for when the year is out!
ReplyDeleteI have a stainless fridge and can't put magnets up. ;( xoxo

package of baby fridge magnets + Mother's Day = YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!! thank you.
ReplyDeleteI actually just ordered a bunch of these for my dad's bday! Our wedding photographer got some great shots of him and I on my wedding day, so I chose some of those plus some of the rest of our family. And actually, I decided to peruse Pinhole Press for a gift idea because I've loved seeing all their products on your blog, Jo. Good stuff! :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I think I'm going to give these magnets as gifts for Mother's Day! (Too bad my stainless fridge isn't magnetic!)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. My dad's fridge has so many old photos plastered all over it - I may have to get him this for Father's day or his upcoming birthday. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

So personal and cool! It would be so fun answering the, "Where did you buy that?" question with, "I made it." Cute and chic.
ReplyDeleteWe were just lamenting the lack of magnets on our stainless fridge - we need a magnet space so we can get more cool magnets!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Since our fridge is stainless, we can only put magnets on the side of it - but it's all magnets of places we've travelled to, which I plan to keep collecting as we go. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fridge is covered with the cool graphic cards from restaurants I've been to over the years. When I moved from the West Village to Union Square last year, it was nice to take a little piece of all my old West Village haunts along with me!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I am just playing around with it now - might get some for my mom and boyfriend's birthdays - they're coming up in a couple of weeks!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! They make a statement without the clutter of having random magnets and scraps of paper up on the fridge.
ReplyDeleteLove your fridge makeover! My fridge is stainless, so not magnetic, sadly!
ReplyDeleteOur family loves refrigerator art and we have developed it into quite a skill. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish my fridge would allow for magnets I am in love with the idea of these I'd love to have it covered in pics of my beauties!
ReplyDeletehttp://knownitwasyou.blogspot.com/2012/04/sensory-painting.html
Do you have a source for the picture of the woman caring a trumpet and suitcase? I've been searching for this photograph everywhere and can't seem to find it. My favorite Cuban restaurant has this photo up on their wall and I always admire it. Please let me know. Great images :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute,but you should put at least one of just you and your husband :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Our fridge is covered with photos as well.
ReplyDeleteI have recently started collecting magnets from museum gift shops. I have a set of four from the Guggenheim that are stunning and make a beautiful addition to our kitchen. Beautiful and fun memories.
ReplyDeletelove those. and love your wedding invite!
ReplyDeleteI love your tips :)
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog!

I almost ordered some the other day !
ReplyDeleteHaving a friendly looking fridge is so important :)
I have some chilhood pictures on mine, a few postcards of art I like, a few labels and tickets and notes to keep in sight.
I love picking up nice magnets here and there...
My favourites are from Studio Fludd and Le Petit Atelier de Paris, and my scandinavian letters from Kotona Design.
And some remind me of travels and places, like the Seattle Library one, my canadian flag and my Strand magnet...
My fridge looks like me.
I LOVE this idea, it seems so easy to make or have made!!! I need to do that, our fridge is boring with no fun pictures on it ;( Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeletehttp://ladiesgofirst.wordpress.com
I have these and love them.
ReplyDeleteI also used stickygram.com to make magnets of our instagram pictures. I use instagram so much and Lucia loves to play with the magnets. They are about a quarter of the size of the rectangle magnets on PP so perfect for her tiny hands. A great idea for Mother's Day!
i think the front of a persons fridge says a lot about them. ours is covered in silly kid artwork (mini picassos) and tons of photos and funny to read magnets from all the places my husband and i have visited.
ReplyDeletebut this sure is a cute idea to turn those precious photos that tend to eventually curl up on my fridge- into flat magnets!
I love this idea! My bf is not so fond of my beloved travel magnets, which do, admittedly, look a bit cluttered. This is such an easy, but cute idea!
ReplyDeleteawesome! i've got some vintage photos of family members and a small sketch my grandma did up on my fridge. :)

Great idea... Are there any legal issues with printing stuff that isn't your own? I only ask because I tried one with an on-line printer and basically what they said was, "no can do". (I wasn't going to sell it or anything, I just wanted it.) Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I used to do the same with mine... but my dog has finisehd with all my pics ;)
ReplyDeleteI chalkboard painted mine so it's an every changing display of grocery lists/reminders/love notes. Lots of photos too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! Right now, my fridge is just a clutter of bday invitations, photos and other bits & bobs. You've inspired me to tidy it up now! x

I already do this but I agree it's a great idea!
ReplyDeletewho is the celeb in the up left hand corner? It looks like JFK, but I am dying to know!
ReplyDeletevery nice idea... although i'm still loving my lovely none cluttered stainless steal fridge right now... it's hard to think about covering it up.
ReplyDeletepictures on the fridge, such a classic!

That photo of picasso and his son is actually my longtime background on twitter and gmail calendar! I love what you've done with your fridge, though, I wanna do it too :)
ReplyDeleteWe definitely have those photos on our fridge! great idea! :-)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! We have regular photos on our fridge but magnets would be much better!
ReplyDeleteToby looks so cute on the fridge!
ReplyDeleteOn my fridge I have pics of twin peaks' kyle mclaughlin. My roommates put them up in my old apartment, and I miss things from when we all lived together.
I had old school magnets of my children - perspex frames with a magnet on the back. It was so nice seeing those lovely faces every time I went to open the fridge.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea, we collect magnets from the cities we visit, it's a fun reminder of the places we've been to, and we always have fun while "hunting" for the perfect one ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet mother's day idea. so thoughtful.

You own travel photos on magnets would be amazing! Every time you stepped into your kitchen, you would be transported! I always put children's photos and school artwork on the fridge, but I love the idea of making my own.
ReplyDeletethe magnets are amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy fridge is covered with magnets. I love looking at what other people have on their fridges! And I love the idea of personalized magnets!
ReplyDeletePerfect! I too have a drab white fridge and even worse, my husband collects magnets and they are always getting lopsided and cluttered looking. I'd like to make a magnet wall in the basement for those and implement this photo idea upstairs, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! I love that photo of JFK. All of your fam photos are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteimportant numbers, good recipies, and sily pictures are my and my girlfriends

I would love to see a better picture of your wedding announcement! It looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteDone. I'm doing it.You're genius! A favorite snapshot of me & husband and of our families and friends and maybe a shot of somewhere we visited & loved...wheels are turning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this idea!
ReplyDeleteI will do a DIY gift for my mum, a magnet with a jon photo.

The magnets are awesome and the photos of your son are great but the photos of the celebrities were done by professional photographers who own the rights to those images. So you shouldn't be reproducing them without their permission.
ReplyDeleteI'm a pro shooter and would be devastated to learn that people were taking my photos and using them without my permission or without proper compensation.
I realize people don't always think about these things but it's actually illegal and very harmful to the artists who create the original work.
