The Onion Chair

She has been offering free high resolution art on her blog to her readers. After her last give away she asked what we’d like to see next and I asked for one of her chair prints. Well, lucky me! When I logged on to my Google Reader yesterday morning I found The Onion Chair for give away until Wednesday!

Stop in and view her give away, and definitely follow her on Twitter to keep up with her work. Thanks Stephanie!

More Ways to Choose Paint Colors
Colleen | July 6, 2009 | 11:37 pm

I found this quiz (via Apartment Therapy) that helps you choose paint colors based on your personality traits & body type.  The basic idea, founded in ancient India, considers what colors will create harmony in our lives.  There are three basic types of people, and each may benefit from different colors…some earthy colors, some cooling & soothing colors, and others bold, mobilizing colors.

For my personality/body type, I should lean toward subdued earthy colors or complex colors that are cool & calm.  I agree.

ColorSnap IPhone App.

colorappColorSnap is a free Iphone application from Sherwin Williams.  It allows you to select a color swatch from a photo, and it returns a coordinating color pallet.

I’ll surely use this tool for more than choosing paint colors.  I could take pics of all my favorite outfits & look for new bead combinations for jewelry.  Or perhaps I’ll discover more interesting color combinations for my favorite scrapbook papers.  Who knows?
