I've been wanting to make a calendar for my refrigerator for sometime. I have a pretty standard size black refrigerator that came with my home. It's in good working order and matches my black stove/oven but I wanted to add some kind of design element to it since it's just so… black.Elsie used to have a large marker board/magnet calendar from Pottery Barn in one of her past studios. I tried to find a photo online, but I guess they don't carry it anymore. Anyway, I loved the design and decided to create something similar. My brother helped me create print outs of the months, days and numbers with hand drawn circles around each. If you want to make your own you can download them here: Download CalendarOnce you print off the sheets, cut around the words and numbers. Then adhere them to magnetic sheets (I needed two of the size you see above). Now cut out your new magnets and hang them on your refrigerator.I really love the simple design and feel like it adds a lot of needed character to my plain refrigerator. I'm excited to move the magnets around and update it as the months go by. xo. Emma

How nice! You can use the magnets to attach some notes below the dates or some papers that have to be send etc.
Cute! I made one out of little acrylic domed magnets and I shove concert tickets and whatnot under the numbers so 1.) I know I have something happening that day and 2.) the tickets are right there!
Wow! Looks like the one I did! But I used a little bit of color! I also added some figures to remember the appointments and it´s available for download at my blog! Take a look if you can, I´ll be glad 🙂
This is really cute! We’re moving soon so I have a hunch that this is a project I’ll be revisiting soon. And it would be so easy to stick invitations, concert tickets, or appointment cards under the corresponding date magnets to keep track of your month!
what a wonderful idea! I always wanted a red refrigerator and I am sure this calendar would look great on it. I would add some magnets with quotes, notes and pictures. I love a crowded fridge, all these memories…
Very cool! To take it a step further, maybe laminate the dates so you can write things in the white sections with a dry erase marker. Then it’s functional too!
this is a super idea!!! I must do this. I have been loving decorating my fridge with magnets lately. I have loads leftover and a whole other side to fill so this is the next project for sure! thanks for the inspiration! xx. gigi. food and beauty blogger @ http://www.gigikkitchen.blogspot.com

Looks cute! I like how it makes the fridge seem more playful… if that makes sense.
What a wonderful idea! Love that you can just change them around for each month

Love it! This would work on a file cabinet in the office, too!
That’s a cute idea. I would love a fridge with chalkboard paint on so that I could draw my own calender every month and write in important dates
