What’s your Evernote Story?

I just bought a house. Can’t begin to tell you what a headache it is. Remembering where all the documents you need are, looking for the best deal on; mortgage rates, home insurance, moving trucks, etc. If there’s a deal to be had, I want it. That’s why I’m all over the internet, crawling the web for the hottest deal that no one’s caught yet. So at first, I was using Evernote as my deal repository.

Now that I have the house, I have a new issue: how do I paint it? I never thought color was so difficult. You think you like a color… until you put it on the wall. So I decided to start looking for ideas from people who know what they’re doing. Interior designers, graphic designers, design websites, design bloggers, design tipsters… anyone who’s got ideas, I want to take a look at them. But especially with color, it’s super hard to remember. Was that the exact blue I saw? What kind of brown was that? I’m a visual person, but I’m not that visual. So I used Evernote to remember decors, painting tips, color combination’s, find palettes of colors to make sure you wouldn’t get a heart attack looking at that red next to that purple. In short, Evernote’s my personal interior decorator.
