Steel Magnet Wall

So we got a stainless steel fridge when we built the new house.

I was okay with a white one.

But the Ram wanted stainless.  In fact, that's about all he wanted in the house.  A wood ceiling and stainless appliances.  So we got a stainless fridge.

No one told me you can't clutter a stainless fridge with magnets.  Not just because it's not cool, but because magnets don't stick to stainless.

Only when you don't have a magnetic surface do you miss it.  Save the dates, Christmas cards, shopping lists - where do they go?  In our home, they went in a pile, never to be found or looked at again.  Until now.

Because roofing is way cooler than a fridge.


You all are just too smart.  Yesterday, when I posted my desk plans, you said, that's cool Ana, but we want that wall!    And trust me, you want this wall.  Not only is it functional, but it adds depth and shine to an otherwise blah and least desirable bedroom of the house AKA my office.

Matched with Valspar Silver Leaf in flat, and the entire room just comes alive!  Also check out this shot, see how the metal trims out nicely on the edges?  A few snips with tin snips, and baseboards are no issue.

Here is how we put together a steel wall that is both magnetic and cool looking for under $100 in about 2 hours.  Yes, that is correct.  I can't spell, but that is not a typo.  $100 and 2 hours.  Yes, two hours.  It's taken me longer to hang curtains.  Or get a gallery wall just right.
