Today I am sharing an organization refrigerator makeover that is so easy and doesn’t take a lot of time. With the right storage containers, you can have your refrigerator organized in no time.
How do I keep my fridge clean and organized?

I just updated this post (it’s from my old house) and am planning to clean out our current refrigerator this week.
Our refrigerator prior was a mess. Kids drinks, snacks and a variety of food were items strewn everywhere.
I removed “everything” from the refrigerator, washed the walls, the shelves and drawers and oh my, it felt good to clean this thing!
First, dispose of all expired food and condiments and start fresh.
I used plastic storage pull out bins for the juice boxes, jello, pudding and other smaller snacks.
Tip: dispose of the cardboard boxes that the food comes in (yogurts ect.) prior to putting in your refrigerator.
What is the best way to organize a refrigerator?
The pull out bins are perfect for deep narrow cabinets or a refrigerator.
These pull out bins are also a little bigger and great for storing fruit or soda cans.
I used the same ones in our pantry makeover as well as a few I picked up at Home Goods.
I love that the smaller snack items are corralled in one spot and stay in one spot!
These plastic pull out bins have a nice grab handle opening making it easy to remove the bin from the refrigerator.
Here is another shot of the refrigerator before.
One of the biggest problems we had was the soda boxes being stacked on top of each other. 
I love the soda organizer.
This metal organizer would also be perfect for cans of beer.
Having two containers for fruit is ideal because it’s so easy now for my son to pull out the bin and get his own snack.
Nicole says
looks great! but where do you put things like leftovers?
Jessica Bruno says
The top shelf 🙂 The juice and butter stay on the side door now so the top is open 🙂 You can always get a single soda organizer that doesn’t take up as much room.

Looks fantastic! I see you have a T1D in the house. My 16 yr. old son was dx in Dec. =/
Jessica Bruno says
Yup, my husband has T1D (since 18 years old) and I finally put all his meds in a plastic container to keep them organized and from falling out of the fridge! 🙂
Ida says
This is wonderful. It looks so clean and appealing. My fridge is always a mess and this gives me great motivation to clean mine out! Thanks!
Theresa says
Hi! I LOVE this! I’m going to do this as soon as I can find the containers! Can you tell me where you got all of your containers? They’re perfect! Thanks!
Jessica Bruno says
Thank you! I will be sharing a resource list this weekend on the blog with the links to the sources but most of them came from HOme Goods and The Container Store 🙂
Christine says
Looks so clean and fresh! Where did you get the plastic bins? Home Goods?

Hello:) I am new to your blog and I read that you have two refrigerators. I am just wondering do you share a kitchen or do your parents have one and you have one? I have had fun looking around your blog when I get a chance. It is something I am just curious about. I thought I read somewhere that you had a separate living spaces (I.e. kitchen, living room, dining room, etc.) Just curious! Love your style and your blog:)
Thanks!
Jessica Bruno says
Hi, we have two kitchens but we still end up in both! ha. We added a secondary to accommodate another refrigerator ect. There is only so much room in one 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by and stay in touch!
Bonnie @ Uncommon Designs says
Oh I so need to do this! Things get shoved to the back and forgotten! Thanks for the spark to get me motivated!
Jessica Bruno says
You are welcome Bonnie! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Jessica says
Where did you get your soda holder and other items to make this look pretty! I plan on adding this to my early spring cleaning list.
Jessica Bruno says
It’s from Joss and Main (it was on sale). Wayfair.com I think has one as well.

Your fridge looks awesome. Having said that,you know how they say there’s one in every crowd ? Well I just can’t heck myself, but honey should not be stored in the fridge. Pancake syrup either. But most especially the honey. I would love to organize mine like this instead of finding scary stuff in the back, or a 15.00 packed of lamb I bought at whole foods as a treat for myself 5 days later stinking to high heaven, haha. I follow your blog all the time but this my first comment I think. You guys are awesome cheers Frances

All of your organization posts have really lit a fire under my butt to work on our kitchen/bathroom organization! Which in turn has inspired some projects for when the weather warms up! I’m ready for spring!
Jessica Bruno says
haha Thanks Ashely ! 🙂
Jackie says
It looks awesome! I’m inspired to do the same.
Jessica Bruno says

I noticed you keep your honey and syrup in the refrigerator. I keep mine on a shelf in my pantry. I also keep my pancake syrup in the pantry. Here’s a link for storing honey… http://www.ask.com/question/should-honey-be-refrigerated-after-opening
