We are both LSU fans. D is little more die hard than I. She happen to meet me the day that I was wearing my one complete LSU outfit. We also had a very common need of a second refrigerator.
On to craigslist we went in search of a cheap frig. We got this refrigerator for $100
Just as you do with anything you buy off craigslist we bleached everything we could take out. Also took the doors off.

Then we went to HomeDepot and got LSU purple. They have the exact color btw with their Gidden Team Color match. Before painting we used a mouse sander before we found out that an orbital sander is waaaaaaaaaay better. Definitely go with the orbital sander if you have the option and btw harbor freight has cheap tools for crafty people who aren't looking to sand everything they see.
After sanding we taped off the inside of the fridge to keep it white and rolled the fridge purple. We also spray painted all the hinges black and the inside shelves silver. The brown spray is an anti rust spray for the one that was rusted.
Finally we made the LSU Tiger Eye out of Vinyl which you can buy here. hint... hint...
Our final results:
I also bought D one of these through amazon which is an awesome addition to the freezer door: It's a bottle opener that catches the bottle caps with powerful magnets
