Digitally Paint Your Walls Without Spending a Penny

Whether you've just moved in or want to re-decorate an old room, painting a room can add quite a lot of value to your space - with the right color, of course.  Picking "the one" for your space can be a daunting task.  What color would look best?  How much paint do I need to buy?

Thankfully, Sherwin-Williams paint company has presented us with a useful new (and free!) iPad application entitled "ColorSnap Studio," which allows you to digitally try out a paint color in your space.  While you're at it, this application will also calculate how much paint you would need to get the job done.

Simply take a photo of your room on your iPad, select a color, and paint the room with your finger.  While your finger painting may not be the most accurate, ColorSnap will intelligently blend what you have done with the rest of the wall and give you a pretty accurate representation of what you can expect to see in your real space.  Then, when you've committed, ColorSnap will ask you a few measurement questions about the room and then calculate how much paint you should buy.  Cool, huh?

Having a capable Realtor is invaluable in the home sale process - it is proven to put more money in your pocket.  Having a capable Realtor who can also help you with technology?  Priceless.
