Our old beer fridge in its newest incarnation

beer fridge

This refrigerator, in its original plain beige paint scheme, was in the kitchen of the house we bought on South Pearl Street in Thorntown, Ind. during the winter of 2000-01.

We wanted a new fridge, so we moved this one to the garage where it served as a beer fridge for the next six years. When we tore down the garage with the intention of building a new garage/photo studio in the spring of 2007, we gave it to our friends Jim and Lauri Shillings. Jim said he’d like to paint flames on it, but other stuff got in the way.

Until recently. He sent me this photo of the now-ultracool beer fridge that lives in his shop. The addition of a bottle opener to the door was truly inspired.
