REALISTIC REFRIGERATOR ORGANIZATION | Clean & Organize A Fridge With These Functional Tips & Ideas

[@tinnalaco]

I was immediately attracted to the word: REALISTIC. Thanx for a GREAT video! ❤

[@lelaburris]

So glad you liked it, thank you!!

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

I know right because those other videos are doing to much. There’s a science behind storing food and these TikTok videos are not doing that. Thank you!

[@darcyferrigno]

I know, right? Like the Pinterest pantries and fridges are beautiful but let's be honest. NO ONE (at least without a personal assistant) it keeping up with that.

[@rebeccav.8560]

I just watched your video. It was so nice to see a realistic refrigerator clean and restock. So many content creators make you feel bad if your refrigerator doesn't look like a KitchenAid ad. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@lelaburris]

That's why I call myself Organized-ish. 😊 If my house were perfectly staged all the time, I'd never actually use anything. Glad this realistic approach helped you!

[@rachelbee7921]

Your relaxed organizing approach calms my perfectionist tendencies. Thank you! ❤

[@lelaburris]

Aww I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@sharonsmith5656]

i love how you explain you don't have to have the best bins etc... I live life like everyone, just older than most. Fine job here and I did learn a few things. Thank you!

[@thelotus007]

very inspiring thanks for all the idea, Loved this!

[@annechristine500]

Thanks for presenting a realistic fridge organizing video, now if I only had a great, big fridge like you have lol 😁

[@rellimarual]

This is fascinating, mostly because I have none of this stuff in my own fridge!

[@paulakoenig4081]

I love the stickers on the drawers.

[@lelaburris]

Thanks! That was a fun little Cricut project.

[@makeupbychelleb6599]

Thank you so much. Your video was very helpful!

[@MsDesignDiva]

This is the kind of fridge organization that I aspire to have in my future home, it's organized but leaves space for real life to happen. It's not the pretentious type of organizing where there's not even room for leftovers.

[@lelaburris]

You have made my day! Thank you so much, and I'm glad you saw value in the -ish part of organizing.

[@MsDesignDiva]

@@lelaburris Of course, the ish part of organizing is honestly the best part! So often I see people making these stupidly instagram perfect spaces and I'm just thinking a few things like 1. these people must be rich because no one can afford so many containers all from the container store all at once to organize just one space 2. these people must also have a secondary fridge somewhere to store any leftovers, or they're that person who throws out leftovers because leftovers are for poor people and they're wanting to project that they're rich (I actually had a friend who did this, we didn't last as friends) 3. do these people have 0 variety in their diets? cause how do the super specific lables work week to week otherwise? that's what I end up wondering when I'm watching fridge organizing videos by others and why your video is so refreshing to watch.

[@sonyaluhman4648]

Very realistic & helpful video. . .thank you for sharing and keeping it real 💯 👌 ❤

[@sparkplugpeggy4910]

bought a new house and moving in a few weeks. this is exactly what I'm going to do.

[@lelaburris]

So excited for you! I'm sure it'll look just as amazing in your home.

[@teleiagunby1155]

This was the best refrigerator organization video! Definitely realistic!

[@lelaburris]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@twohassles43]

I just got a new fridge. First time in 15 yrs and trust me refrigerators change. Lol.. Your video is the best one on KZbin. I am making my new yrs resolution early (6 months early, lol). My New Years resolution is to keep my new fridge clean and organized! Tyvm for the great video.

[@lelaburris]

Glad it was helpful for you! Refrigerators do come with a *lot* more options now, and it will take time to find and maintain a system that works for you. Good luck tackling your resolution.

[@fullhousea8]

Love your video, your voice is soothing. Thank you

[@lelaburris]

Thank you, and thanks for being subscribed too!

[@nonnieTerri]

It looks so nice!!

[@lanielynns]

So thankful for your relaxing organization method!!!

[@lelaburris]

Awww, thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it. 🖤

[@teresahayden6990]

We don’t refrigerate our tomatoes unless they have been cut. They get a mealy texture when refrigerated

[@lelaburris]

Ohh good tip! Thanks!

[@Fevo-Fu]

My cherry tomatoes last long on the counter. 😊

[@actualangel5133]

Depends on climate… in hot places it is better to refrigerate them

[@martinsusigbe3743]

This was a perfect video, thanks

[@sandhyarrakesh7923]

Am sooooo happy I watched this video ... Something that is more relatable😅❤

[@lelaburris]

Thank you so much! So happy you're here!

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

Glad I came across your channel. 😊 new sub here. I agree with everything you said. That’s how I’ve been since being on my own as a teen. I watched my Mom do things before she passed. This kind of fridge is very realistic to maintain!

[@lelaburris]

Hi! So happy to meet you!

[@DenisePiktelis-bf5uq]

After I wipe down my glass shelves I put down absorbent liners I pick up from TJX. Just cut or fold if you want to customize. I like them in the draws as well. Change out as needed

[@carolowen9595]

Thank you. This is helpful!

[@pattyrazon2746]

Good morning ☀️ Your video came at the perfect time, today is fridge cleaning for me it needs organization and cleaning 🧽. Thanks for the video 😊

[@lelaburris]

Oh great!! It’s a great time to do it so you’ll have it fresh and clean for the week ahead. 🙌🏼

[@8_six7_five3_09]

Thanks for the helpful and beautiful video. Just wanted to mention that it's inaccurate that there's no specific way to organize a refrigerator. Actually, there is a very specific way we should be organizing our refrigerators based on food items and coldness/humidity zone in the refrigerator, but almost no one actually tells people how to properly organize a refrigerator. I think either the USDA or the FDA puts out guidance on how to properly organize a refrigerator.

[@missbell1634]

Nice job! I love the cheese tray idea.

[@lelaburris]

Thanks!

[@donnamedica9014]

Omg my husband love to startle me ! I startle easily much to his delight and amusement !!😂

[@centre_stage5599]

Hi Lela thank you so much for sharing your in depth knowledge on home organization, may you please do a video of the top organizer bins and basket that you would recommend and are the containers from the Container store worth the money.

[@lelaburris]

That’s a great idea!! I will absolutely add that to my list, thank you!

[@maryann6365]

Your video came at the perfect time, since cleaning out my fridge is on my to-do list today and it reallly needs to be reorganized. Kids just left for college and I need to change the everyday contents a bit and sort through the leftover condiments from summer. I also need to implement your tip to have a bin for raw meat. TY for the link to that slim duster! Cat fur plus dust are always accumulating under there and sometimes the vacuum hose just can't reach it all!

[@lelaburris]

Oh great!! Perfect timing! So glad you got some ideas for your fridge, especially since your kids just went back to college. And YEs, that slim duster is great for under the fridge, stove, and washer/dryer. 🙌🏼

[@dylpicklethebugslayer]

I loved this video. Realistic, straight to the point. I just would have liked to see the products you have, specifically the sauces lol😅

[@SapphoSneeze]

Also you can thrift some of these containers. I see similar ones at goodwill often

[@Arleen1010]

Great tips. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

[@lelaburris]

Thank you! Have a great weekend too!

[@patriciaobrien3134]

Ella your fridge organizations are great my fridge looks a mess I don't have a fridge like yours I have two shelves and a small one at the top door two small section at the top.i bought a Crofton large fridge tray so it's hard to know what to put into it or how to layout my fridge thank you for sharing this information if you can give me and ideas with organization my fridge greetings from dublin ireland Patricia 🇮🇪

[@AmberGilbertson]

OMG! You're the first person besides my great grandma and myself w/the name Lela I ever came across! It's not my first name but still!

[@lelaburris]

Always glad to meet more Lelas!

[@susancromer6758]

Great video. Love the simplicity and the organization. Also love your calm vibe. I just have to ask... why did you put your tomatoes in the fridge? That's a HUGE no no at our house lol!

[@lelaburris]

Thank you for such kind feedback! It's all personal preference about the tomatoes. I like them chilled, so that's why I refrigerated them even though it does take away some of the flavor. I confess that I am a bit of a rulebreaker sometimes. 😊

[@susancromer6758]

@@lelaburris Thanks for your reply. I like the rule breaking and personal preference, just don't like chilled tomatoes. We're gardeners and feel like refrigeration drastically reduces the flavor.

[@lelaburris]

I get that. Each person has their own preferences, and what I put in my videos are just suggestions, not hard rules. Always happy to be educated though, and best of luck with your garden.

[@shannydunc]

Tomatoes are left out room temp. 😊 Little tip to save you some room! Love the video. ❤

[@lelaburris]

Thank you! I’ll try that next time. 🥰

[@rnguyen2516]

Lela, what font do you use for your fridge labels? Thank you so much! You always offer great, practical advice.

[@lelaburris]

Hi! Thats the Babette font from Cricut

[@rnguyen2516]

@@lelaburristhank you so much! It’s so true what you say about the containers.

[@daniellelemay35]

Thank you for your advise

[@lelaburris]

You’re very welcome 😊

[@JekyllInside]

I just got an Ikea Snurrad and it has been a game changer to have access to all the bottles without struggling... I prefer not to put so much heavy stuff on the doors...

[@lelaburris]

Oh that’s great! Those are a great solution for storing bottles on the inner shelves. 🙌🏼

[@phoenixhazard]

Eggs should stay in the carton they come in. It’s designed to not absorb smells and moisture from fridge

[@joannab499]

Where did you get your labels?? Love them!!

[@lelaburris]

Thanks! I made them with a Cricut machine.

[@laurac56]

You can order extra door bins for your refrigerator if you have room to add them. I fit one extra one in my fridge.

[@lelaburris]

Oh that’s a great idea!

[@thesleevednana]

Update on the baking soda replacement?

[@valentinakiseleva30479]

I love it! The most important that it is clean, you can find everything and no food waste situation is happening.. Do you actially like to cook?:) Do you meal plan?

[@lelaburris]

Very true! I actually do love to cook, and so does my teenager. But we either cook something extra fancy or extra lazy. There’s no in between. 😂😂

[@olgaluciacobo837]

What about a frente review? Thank you.

[@karaolding8751]

what are the bins that you put the cheese in?

[@lelaburris]

They’re from Walmart. Super cheap and come in a lot of sizes. rstyle.me/+f7ef5KOMKhGuYwGlqp26aA

[@phyllisshand6183]

I really appreciate this video. My refrigerator is a disaster and I am not able to keep it organized.

[@lelaburris]

Hope it helps you try a few new methods 🙌🏼

[@darcyferrigno]

Maybe it is the amount of true crime I watch but I am so easily startled. My husband is a quiet walker and I will not realize he is in the room and I levitate. I keep telling him to walk louder LOL😂

[@lelaburris]

Hey, you might be onto something! Maybe we should get our husbands some house shoes with bells on them... 🤭

[@nmnm]

Vegan mayo ftw❤

[@lelaburris]

We are a family full of food allergies 😂

[@kathyingrao6894]

I never store tomatoes in the refrigerator - they lose their taste/flavor.

[@debrabrownawell617]

The only way I could keep my fridge organized is by getting rid of the husband . He puts everything on the shelf right in the front , anytime I open the door I need to be ready to catch something . He'll take stuff from the door to use and then lay it on the top shelf , He won't put anything back in its place and I swear he sets up booby traps .

[@SharletsWeb]

why is the bread crumbs in the fridge?

[@agarza6003]

What fridge you have?

[@lelaburris]

It's from Maytag. I just checked Best Buy where I bought it and it looks like it's still available 🙌🏼 Here's the exact link: rstyle.me/+vAD33cThEG2qid-Zm3hpsQ

[@andyagnew1235]

Why isn't the butter on your counter?

[@lelaburris]

We like it in the fridge ☺️

[@andyagnew1235]

Ha! To each their own, but it isn't spreadable that way.@@lelaburris

[@yleannamercado2960]

Where is the space for leftover food?

[@lelaburris]

As we eat food in the fridge that frees up space for leftovers. Usually the right side of the fridge ends up holding them. ☺️

[@dropboxmoabit384]

Well, speaking of realistic: You can fit more in those two humungous doors than most Europeans (including me) can fit in their whole fridge.

[@pwood6532]

Brit expat here..I have a normal size fridge over here.. ut some of the fridges here are humungous.!They must cost a fortune in electricity.I dont like them tbh ...they are ugly.also people here seem to view them ad a centrepiece.I prefer the ones that are hidden w cabinetry.

[@SheilaCharles-n1c]

Make sure fridge is unplugged with no lights on

[@artblackwood7936]

Video and ideas are good. Tomatoes do not go in a refrigerator.

[@lelaburris]

I definitely know they last longer at room temperature. I just prefer chilled tomatoes. Thanks for stopping by!

[@johnclaybaugh9536]

It's hilarious that people think aesthetic can't be realistic.
