Amanda's Fridge with Children's Artwork

A standard kitchen refrigerator in Amanda's immaculate kitchen whose door is plastered edge-to-edge with children's artwork: colorful crayon drawings, finger paintings, school photos, and family snapshots affixed with magnets. The collage of kid-centric pieces contrasts the room's polished decor and signals Amanda's curated family life; characters (e.g., Kevin) interact with or notice the array during the scene.
