Festive Creations by Artist-Engineers • B.E.Johnson & Joy Alyssa Day
In the true spirit of parody, a customized kit to turn your refrigerator into a POLICE BOX.
A few years ago, I was walking into my kitchen and looked at my Maytag fridge that I've had for about 6 years and thought "I should make that into a Police Box". I'm not sure why I thought that, as it was first thing in the morning and I wasn't thinking, but I seem to get my best and weirdest ideas just out of the blue; and this one sure fits that... especially the "blue" part.
You'll be interested to read my Blog Post about making it and BJ's Blog about "Johnsonizing" various features to make it all work and be extra special.
This isn't a cookie-cutter, mass produced thing. We create each one individually.
Refrigerators come in widely diverse styles. No matter how many doors/drawers they may have, we accommodate them all. Although the surrounding cabinetry does sometimes pose a bit of a challenge, there hasn't been a model yet that we could not fit and fit well.
As long as accurate measurements are supplied, and perhaps a straight-on photograph (taken at mid-height so there's little distortion) to check against, we can make the necessary adjustments for the model you have.
The skin integrates best with a large French Door fridge, because of the way the fridge's doors better match a Police Box.

Please write me if you have questions. When you order, I'll write you for your fridge's make and model number, or you can supply them in the Comments/Special Instructions box in the cart, so I can make sure the kit will fit and look as awesome as ours.
There is the option of including a stiffened "little phone door" that can be adjusted to make it fit over the front of your ice maker, so the little door swings open to access it. You can also choose to have the Telephone Door say:
Likewise, we can provide festive Christmas lights in the windows at no cost, if you want them for a bit of extra cheer.
There is also a Sound Box available; an audio module that fits on top of or inside the fridge that can be programmed to play your favorite Police Box sounds when the doors open.
