Sherwin Williams Color of Inspiration site makes you a paint palette genius

Filed under: Haute Home



There is something about painting a room that brings out the inner artistic genius in all of us. Suddenly it is of vital importance that we find just the right shade of velvety chocolate, and that it be paired only with the perfect teal.

Sure, you can bring swatches to Home Depot, but we like to do some prep before we make the apron'ed folk run in circles for us. That's why the new Sherwin Wililams Color of Inspiration site is the perfect way for us to spend a few blissful hours trying out color combinations and trying to remember what we learned in color theory class all those years ago.

There are a couple of ways to use the SW Inspiration tool. You can upload a photo and the site automatically generates a palette inspired by your picture of the best green motorcycle ever, or the amazing yellow and red tulips from your garden.

Just as satisfying for us, you can also check out other people's photos and palettes. It's like spying! Plus, why go to all the trouble of finding a perfect picture, or you know, taking one, if the work is already done for us?

Warning: this site will eat your day, and it's twice as dangerous if you're a bride, or involved in any kind planning for a large event. Block out your calendar before you click thru!

Library of Congress Unleashes Fashionable 1930s-40s Photos on Flickr

Filed under: Vintage and Retro

Library of Congress adds fashionable photos from 1939-1945 to FlickrI just found out about the amazing collection of color photographs from the 1930s and 1940s that the Library of Congress has just made available via Flickr. This set is comprised of over 1,600 photographs taken during the Great Depression and World War II. Being a history geek and a huge follower of vintage fashions, I naturally found this collection extremely inspiring.

This is a massive collection of photos to sift through. Believe me -- I know because I just did it. But I did manage to gather some of my favorite fashionable photographs from these collections. They are filled with beautiful colors, amazingly coifed hair, utilitarian and military stylings, and loads of fashion inspiration. If you're a fan of vintage or retro fashions like I am, I urge you to take a peek, or check out the Library of Congress blog for more info on this amazing project.
