***Thanks to everyone for entering. The winner was announced HERE***
I am cheap at heart. Which means if I have a dishwasher that works perfectly fine it isn't going to be replaced just because it is ugly. And that would be the case even if we owned this house. But since it is a rental, there is no chance we are replacing the working dishwasher. I like my landlord, but not that much!
I have seen people cover the front with tin tiles or even wallpaper. Not too much work, but again, not my dishwasher to wallpaper. But a magnet on the other hand, THAT I could do. It is super easy to install and it comes right off. No proof that it was ever there.
And these guys make them:
Appliance Art has a ton of solutions for your ugly dishwasher. And your ugly fridge. They sell a film that looks like stainless steel:
Pretty clever and a great inexpensive fix. But when they offered to send me one to review I had to go with this:
This beauty was a huge magnet and was really easy to install. I am actually going to trim mine a little and then I will show you the finished product. It looks really great in person. Like someone painted on my dishwasher. My husband didn't know about it until he saw it on the dishwasher and I had to peel it off to prove it was a giant magnet.
We don't usually share the same design taste (another reason temporary is best for us) but he really liked this a lot. I took it down to trim it yesterday and he was worried that I was taking it down permanently. It is a really fun addition to the kitchen. One that is liked by everyone. It does make the kids ask for lemonade a lot though.
They come in a ton of different sizes and designs, and if you don't have a metal front they include adhesive.
They come in all sorts of styles and patterns:
and they even have some fun ones like a dry erase image for kids:
And a huge calendar for your fridge:
And again, all magnetic. Nothing is permanent. You could put up the dry erase board while you were making dinner and then roll it up when you have guest over.
Appliance Art has offered to give away one to my readers. Leave a comment here and tell me what appliance in your home needs an Appliance Art makeover for a chance to win your choice of an 18 x 22.5 piece of Appliance Art.

I too live in a home that is not mine. We live in military housing and our dishwasher is sooo ugly!! It's ugly but it does the job! Winning this would be amazing!! Our little kitchen would look slightly better! :-) Thanks for posting this give-away! I would sure looove to win!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun looking through all of the designs. But my favorite was definitely the one titled "CLEAN". It says, "make yourself at home clean my kitchen!" It is so funny!
ReplyDeleteMy dishwasher needs a facelift! It might make the impossibly, forever long transition from white to Stainless Steel a little easier.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely pick Starry Night!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness these ares simply awesome! We are military family so the dishwasher is never ours to improve. These magnetic covers would be so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the Delirious dishwasher cover -'A Messy Kitchen is a Happy Kitchen...And this Kitchen is Delirious' . It sums up my kitchen to a tee!
ReplyDeleteThe fridge needs some organization.
ReplyDeleteI would go for the blank calendar to see if that can get us ready for the school year.
ReplyDeleteI need it for my fridge too. thanks

I like Water Lilies - Dishwasher Cover Panel, but the idea of blank calendar is great too!

We are in the process of selling our home and one of these over the dishwasher would be awesome...I liked the texture ones the best, but really they are all great!!

This is such a neat idea! My dishwasher could use some sprucing up.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Wine Tasting" one or the "Tuscan Grapes"
ReplyDeleteI would choose to make over my dishwasher, we recently moved in and it is the only non stainless steel appliance in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteTie between the rooster and the dry erase . . .
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a dishwasher... unless you count me. But my fridge could certainly use a little pizazz.
ReplyDeleteWe have a wood panel kitchen. So, if I were going for the kicks and giggles aspect, the wood grain would be perfect. I think it's even the same shade.
ReplyDeleteBUT, I really want to do my kitchen in cherries, so I would definitely pick the Hand Drawn Cherries. So pretty.
I love the Garden Fun panel!
ReplyDeleteMy fridge was bought from a scratch n dent place - great price but the side has a HUGE dent! Would love to cover it up with something functional!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the "Make yourself at home, clean my kitchen"! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable. It's my fridge that needs to have a magnetic-beauty makeover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this review and opportunity.

The giant sunflower for the fridge would certainly brighten up my mood and possibly translate into a cleaner kitchen more often.
ReplyDeletemy dishwasher needs a makeover pronto!
ReplyDeletemy fave design is the Damask Cream and Green Ornamental Pattern
ReplyDeleteMy dishwasher or my fridge--not sure what needs it worse.

I like the Kids Bulldozer Dry Erase Board - Dishwasher Cover Panel. And so would my daughter.
ReplyDeleteruthaw_1974@yahoo.com
I'm torn between fridge & dishwasher. I'd go dishwasher though!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite pieces of art ~ Starry Night - Dishwasher Cover Panel
ReplyDeleteWe just moved into a new house with a decently nice kitchen - and a completely dated dishwasher. I'd love to give it a makeover!
ReplyDeleteWater Lilies is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteMy mother has one of these... and we both love it! I sure wish I had one for my dishwasher!

My dishwasher would be a great place to start. It's white while everything else is stainless steel.
ReplyDeleteThe Kids Butterfly Dry Erase dishwasher cover would be the perfect solution and fun for all three of my kids. Hoping & wishing I win this one :)
ReplyDeleteFridge or dishwasher. Can't decide.
ReplyDeleteI like the Lemonade one and the all over cherry one. Can you tell, I'm really decisive!
ReplyDeleteMy fridge or dishwasher could use the makeover. They don't even match each other in color.
ReplyDeleteI really like the fridge calendar but I also like the magnetic birthday thing for the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteMy dishwasher, for sure!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWas a winner ever announced?!! I'm dying to know!! ;-)
ReplyDeletereally good!!! I appreciate efforts of all. I like all the stuffs. Who is the winner anyway... :)
