April Calendar Printable

Nothing like waiting until the last minute...I thought I posted this for April but realized that I had not! Anyways, here is the free April Calendar Printable. Can you tell I am loving gray and yellow right now? Go here to download. (when I went to test the download, it is showing up with weird gray spots, but those shouldn't be in the file when you download it...its just displaying weird on the file sharing site!)

Good news is that because my life is getting crazy...I will have May, June, and July's Calendar printables ready and posted all this month as well. I was afraid if I waited then I maybe wouldn't get to it with the move.
Enjoy!


p.s. Let me know if you have any problems!

Fabric Inspiration

Lately, I have taken after one of my favorite designers, Sarah Richardson, and have been looking for fabrics to inspire me. I love that she always seems to start her design off of a fabric that she loves. I am moving to a new place and it is always fun to dream of starting fresh.

I found some fabric that I adore. It just spoke to me when I saw it. I so love it. Isn't it lovely? So many shades to work with and a beautiful pattern. You can see it accented in this amazing home.

The only problem is at $178/yd might be a little out of my budget! Cue fabric.com. I love looking on there for inspiration. Especially when I am stuck in my house because of rain. (It was so nice last week but my ds was sick so we were stuck inside most days...now this week is turning rainy and yucky!)
Anyways, I went looking for similar fabrics that could fit my budget and ordered a few samples of coordinating fabrics. I am thinking either accents for my living room(I have light beige leather sectional) or for my bedroom. 

 

Online these looked like they would coordinate...uh not so much! I was hoping for a main swirly paisley like pattern with light blue, a little green, tans, and maybe some ochre. 

I wanted to love this one. But it is kind of dark and more on the green side than anything. (You can't really tell here though)

This is beautiful. I really love that it is mainly a beautiful blue tone, although I would love it if it had a tiny bit of sage and ochre. Just a little bit. I'll keep looking but this fabric is gorgeous in person. Definitely an option, but I am just not sure if it allows me as much range as I was hoping for design wise. It looks great next to my couch though. I've got plenty of time to dream and plan. We won't be buying until we live in the new area for a year or so and know our way around so maybe our rental will have orange shag carpet and wood paneling and I'll have to accent that. Yikes, I hope not!  How do you get inspired? I want to find something that I can enjoy for a while without wanting to change it up too soon.

{Spring} Printables

I just wanted to share some of the Spring printables I am using to add a little bit of Spring to our home. I had some purple fringing when I took these pictures (its called chromatic aberration) so please note that these printables Do Not have purple on them! Its just the way the pics came out because the light shades I used made it hard for my lens to determine the light and dark parts of my printable I was focusing on. Plus, my lighting was all over the place. Its hard to see the colors right...I promise they are not this 'light and faded' IRL).

I decided to offer these as 8x10 jpegs. Why? Because that way you can crop them and print them as different sizes if you like. I did grey as 5x7, the yellow as 4x6, and the blue as 8x10.
(These look super cute next to my new Spring Vase.)

For yellow go here

For blue go here

 Here are a few more. I just wanted to add a warning, I always try and print and proof each printable I make.  However, things got crazy and I have not had time to test print the following printables. I am afraid if I keep waiting until I get around to it then Spring will be over!  Just wanted to give you a heads up! These are pdfs size 8.5x11. You can crop them to 8x10 as you like. Can you see the 'egg' shape? This is probably as close to an Easter printable as you'll get. I'm not much of an Easter decorator.;)

Personal use only. Link back with credit if you can so others can enjoy them too!  Plus, it makes me more inclined to keep offering free printables! 
I'm linking to the parties listed on the left sidebar of my blog. 
Oh and its my first time linking up to this party so I thought I would share the link here too:
