Apartment Therapy fridge hack is just suburban cosplay

A creator is going viral for painting her fridge and using magnets to create a seamless cabinet look without a renovation. I worked retail long enough to know that a fifty-dollar quart of paint doesn't turn a basic appliance into a luxury built-in; it just creates a sticky mess you'll regret in six months. We have officially reached the stage of home ownership where people are intentionally recreating the landlord special and calling it a custom finish. If you want a built-in, pay for the wood, otherwise stop scuff-sanding your dignity for the sake of an aesthetic that will be dated by Tuesday.
