{freebie}

I have a folder on my desktop that is titled, "inspiration". It's for those images I find that I just love.
It's the folder I go to when I need a fresh idea or just some eye candy.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure where I snagged this image but isn't it fabulous?
I love the colors and what a clever decorating idea to have a framed eye chart. 
It reminds me of Potterybarn and their use of letters and numbers in decorating all the time.


I decided that it can't be that hard to make. So I went at it in Photoshop, sent it to Costco to be printed,
threw it in one of my frames (you can find those on my website) and had it up on the wall in minutes.

Voila! YES! I love instant gratification.

Its not identical, I'll admit (though you'll notice I did copy what letters I could see) but still so cute! 
I LOVE seeing this lovely on the wall every time I pass by. 

My husband doesn't understand the whole having-an-eye-chart-on-the-wall thing but,
let's face it, what husband would? To his credit, he still hung it for me, adding, 
"Only because I love you." Aww.

SO... here's the freebie part. I realize the image below is probably cut off on your screen.
It is, however, the full size JPEG of what you see above. Simply right click, press Save As and
save it somewhere. Then, send it to be printed as a photo and you too can have an eye chart
on your wall! 

If your husband asks about it, just tell him you thought he and the kids needed their eye site checked... daily... :)

You are just so clever! I saved it, and hopefully can find a place on my walls! So cute!
