Come on a Tour of My Home!

Home Tour via MakelyHome.com

I am over the moon to be joining 24 other DIY bloggers on a Summer House Tour!  Throughout the week, they’ve been taking their readers on tours of their gorgeous homes – and today it’s my turn to share with you.

We had our home built in 2008 and absolutely love it.  We picked the floor plan, the lot, the exterior stone, and most of the interior finishes.  After living in a home that needed more early 1990s updates than we really wanted to make, we were thrilled to have a home where we only had to change the things that we wanted to change – not the things we HAD to change because they were falling apart!

Since then, we’ve been slowly tackling our builder’s beige walls and transforming our home into our dream home.  My family members share a love of pattern and color (on his last day of school, my 7 year old filled out an “All About Me” worksheet declaring that his favorite thing about his bedroom was that it was colorful), so we’re taking a ‘no holds barred’ approach to transforming our home.  Let me show you what I mean….

My 40 Favorite Free Modern Fonts

by Lindsay Ballard on June 5, 2013 2,378 Comments

When I started blogging a hundred years ago, I had no idea that I would one day figure out how to make my own graphics, watermarks and titles in Photoshop.  I would have been all, “Shut up!”, if 2013 Lindsay would have run into 2008 Lindsay with the news.

Since then, I’ve developed my own taste in fonts.  Sometimes I go for scrolly and sometimes I go for handwritten, but most of the time I’m really drawn towards the clean, modern fonts for my graphics. My go-to font these days is one called Hype, but others that I’ve just discovered, such as The Copenhagener and Vintage Straps, are quickly making their way up to the top of the list.  Some of these fonts are too thin for things like making signs or using in your Silhouette machine (Did you know you can cut out any font installed on your computer with your Silhouette?), but they are great for online graphics and image watermarks.

Below is a list of 40 of my favorite free modern fonts.  Under the graphic, there’s a link to the website where you can get the free download for each one.
