Paint chip nirvana: ChipIt! from Sherwin Williams

paint chips

I just discovered Sherwin Williams Chip It! through one of the Facebook groups I belong to. Chip It! is to colours what Pinterest is to images. You add the Chip It! widget to your browser’s toolbar…

…and then click ChipIt! to create a colour palette for any image. Like this:

OMG, as if Pinterest wasn’t addictive enough. Thank you Sherwin Williams for turning me into a complete pinning and chipping addict!

And on a totally unrelated topic, I just realized that I have a bunch of comments that are waiting to be moderated – whoops! I opened my comments settings to make a change, and then I was like DUH, how could I have forgotten to check comments on older posts that need to be moderated?! I’m changing that setting right now so all comments get published automatically. So if you’ve left me a comment in the last couple of months and I never visited your blog, please don’t hate me! I’m off to visit you all right now….

Pinteresting, very Pinteresting

Have you heard of Pinterest? It’s like one-stop shopping for beautiful inspiration pictures. It’s free to register, and once you’re signed up, the internet is your oyster. You create boards on your Pinterest page, and as you surf the Net and find images of beautiful things, you can quickly and easily save them to one of your Pinterest boards. The cool thing is that the link to the image is saved with with image, so it’s easy to go back to the web page it came from, which is super-handy for giving proper credit for the picture.

It’s really easy to use. You install a little Pin It widget onto your browser’s toolbar, and any time you see a picture you want to save to one of your Pinterest boards, just click the Pin It button. All the images on the web page that you’re on appear on the screen. Click Pin This on the image you want to save, write a short description of the image, click Pin It, and there you go! You can also repin images that you like from other boards onto your board.
