ColorSnap App

I was flipping through the latest addition of Traditional Home and there was a one page picture of the Sherwin Williams Colorsnap app. Say What! Its a free app that picks colors from a picture and matches it to a paint color for you. For real… genius I tell ya! I snagged the app and can’t wait to try it out! I’m curious to see how accurate it really is. So far it looks pretty cool. I played around with some colors matching my pillows in my bedroom.

You simply touch the screen in any area of your picture and it pulls up a color.

Once you find the ones you like you save the color palate.

It seems pretty easy and it’s extremely helpful! I think Benjamin Moore also has an app similar to this. So cool… for the love of smart phones ha ha!

Wicker Chairs

Don’t run and hide…. I promise I’ve not lost my mind! We have a really cute consignment store that I stop/drive by every now and then. The other day they had an outdoor table set that had these “to die for” wicker/rattan chairs. I know I know… wicker really?

When I hear the word wicker this is the image that pops up in my mind

and I pretty much want to crawl into a corner and hide. Ha ha no really. Its great and all just not my style.

These “to die for” chairs were A-H-MAZING! I only needed two of the four chairs and assumed they probably wouldn’t sell them separate. I walked away. Ya know when you walk away from something and you just CANT stop thinking about it? That’s how I was with these chairs. I let the thought sit for a few days and I caved in. I called to see if they would sell me just two of the chairs and….. they were SOLD!!!!

I’ve searched for a picture of what they looked like but I can’t find the exact chair. They were a pretty good mix between these two though and I planned on using them in my living room.

Phew…

Oh gosh! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA lately! I’ve been busy with every day life events and haven’t found much time for projects or blogging. So sorry! I’m still slaving away in my bedroom. I have a little sneak peak of my faux brick wall for you! Its a little teeny portion of the wall… I don’t want to spoil the reveal ;) I promise to share my tips and tricks with you as soon as its finished! I was inspired by Brooke’s faux brick wall and I’m using her tips, just adding a little as a I go.

I was out and about shopping the other day and I found these awesome moss balls at Rod Works, love them! They add a perfect splash of green to my media center.

If I Lived In Pinterest World

I found this really cute idea and thought It would be fun to create my own pinterest world! Everyone has their dreams and visions of what there house “will someday” be.

So here we go….

If I lived in “My Pinterest World“

My Kitchen would have open cabinets and a light airy feel

Where we would eat comfort food

and I would have enough time in my day to make my kids awesome lunches

If I lived in “My Pinterest World” my living room would be crisp yet comfortable. I would be brave enough to furnish and decorate it with bold and bright colors

It would have beautiful accesories

and memorabilia and pictures that would tell their own story

If I lived in “My Pinterest World” my boys would have the coolest  room that they could possibly dream of

and a backyard where they could escape for fresh air and let their

creativity and imaginations run wild

Our home would have detailed Craftsman Ship

and be nestled away in a neighborhood with big mature trees.

So that’s “My Pinterest World“. Do you dream of  living in Your Pinterest World?
