Like Kevin, the side of my fridge is a vast minefield: 2 sets each of measuring spoons and dry measure cups, large & small scissors/shears, church key, a steel. small & medium whisks, a larger-holed microplane, garlic press, tea strainer, Ah-So cork puller, Vacu-vin wine bottle pump (for Jack - I use my FoodSaver although it is not 100% reliable.
On the front of the fridge are clips for various grocery lists, which are each arranged by aisle number (& contents of the aisle) for the particular stores I frequent. I even have space for a few pictures!
I have barely enough space on my magnetic knife rack to snap on my microplane.
Now, if someone could tell me where to find magnetic hooks that don't come apart.....the other night we were watching the news and heard a crash. The hook holding a couple of measuring cups had spontaneously become separated from the magnet...again. They've been super-glued together but that's not permanent either.
