There's an App For That

With this yucky weather we have had for the past few days, I have done a lot of web surfing. I mean a lot...hours...days...years (well maybe not that much). My husband said the other day, "What can you possibly look at after 5 minutes?" He's never been to Blogland where you can just click your way from one side of our planet to the next.

Anyway, I was catching up on the Minutes Matter Studio forum and somebody was asking about apps for the iPhone. I don't have an iPhone (I'm a Verizon girl) but I did appreciate the following handy and nifty apps out there for people who do have iPhones. Enjoy and grab an app!

Note: I linked you through a blog or website because the iPhone website was so painfully slow.

For Paint
Sherwin Williams ColorSnap (it's free), here is the link.
Benjamin Moore Catch A Color app, here is the link.

Measuring
Converting Measurements, here is the link.
Drapery Calculator, here is the link.

For Fun
For I.D. wood flooring, here is the link.
How about a font, here is the link.

Window Bar Stools

My neighbor snatched up four of these little beauties the other day. They are divine in her kitchen. I "test drove" one of them and it is really sturdy. They felt solid and well constructed. My neighbor's eat in area is right next to the kitchen (open concept). With a dark wooden table and six leather chairs the bar stools needed to be sleek and airy. CB2 sells acrylic bar stools (Vapor Stools) but they were about $200 each. Yikes! Overstock sells them for $229.99 (set of 2). And, shipping is usually just $2.95.

Home Tour- Atlanta

I enjoy home tours. I like new home tours but I really enjoy going on tours in homes where people actually live. Homes that are lived in, laughed in, cried in, and celebrated in. The only down side is that you can't take pictures (because they are private homes) so I always bring a pencil and small notebook in my purse for sketching. The tour features five homes in the Metro Atlanta Area.

This year is the 39th Annual

Cathedral of St. Philip Antique Show and Tour of Homes. All proceeds of this event go to Cool Girls, Inc. Cool Girls is a non-profit that helps girls in low income communities through education, mentoring, and support.

The antique show and tour run from January 20-25. I hope you get an opportunity to check it out.
