Top 10 Must-Have Travel Apps!

It's vacation season and even when I travel for work, my iPhone/iPad take a central role in not just planning my trips, but also assisting me along the way once I'm far from home.

There are tons of travel apps that can help you on your trip. Here are a few that come highly recommended.

BLANCO App for Smartphones/Tablets

I wonder daily at how I managed before i-everything. Blackberry(old-school) would never have done what we can do now and good suppliers are sending out great applications to make our jobs WAY easy!

BLANCO is one of my personal favorite sink lines. Recently, BLANCO launched an app that allows users to compare it's SILGRANIT II sinks with various counter surfaces.

Take a look:

As you can see, you can mix lots of BLANCO SILGRANIT II sinks and counter materials! Go ahead and download the BLANCO app now. It's free today, but it may not be for long!

Happy Anniversary iPhone

Last week the iPhone turned 4. Seems hard to believe... this Blackberry user is fully entrenched in the iPhone posse now.

To celebrate the occasion, I'd like to share some of my favorite apps for my iPhone that get used on a VERY regular basis.

1. Twitterrific (shown) - If you follow me on Twitter(which you should), you'll notice that I use two main platforms for tweeting, Hootsuite and Twitterrific. Twitterrific on iPhone is the easiest medium for twitter that I've found and allows you to do lots of looking around with completely eating up all your API.

2. StumbleUpon - Occasionally I find myself in a spot where I need something to do(while ignoring real stuff like emails). There is no better app for killing that 20 minutes while your oil is being changed.

3. Pandora - Best radio app. And yes, I've used up my 40 hours per month on multiple occasions.

4. houzz - Talk about the never ending stream of good interiors(can also throw pinterest, Cool Hunting and DA #4 in there, too).

5. AllRecipes and epicurious - I enjoy cooking. No need for the thousands of recipe books that are contained in two simple apps.

These are just the tip of the iceberg of how I use my iPhone- not to mention that it gets 4 email accounts and enough text messages to make a tween girl go bonkers.

If you're still on the fence about getting an iPhone, go ahead and jump off. It'll change your life.


*Disclaimer: I still "unplug" on a fairly regular basis. iPhones turn off just like any other phone.

If you have an iPhone go immediately and download the KraftMyStyle App from KraftMaid.

Pretty awesome, huh?

Use the KraftMyStyle app and choose from your own photos(snap a picture where ever you are inspired) or photos from KraftMaid's Inspiration Photos.

I couldn't help but throw one together myself....

It really is quite easy and allows one to see lots of elements at one time. Sure beats an old-fashioned mood board!

Try it out... after you get done you can even post your boards to Facebook and share them with your friends and family. More importantly, share them with your kitchen designer. They'll thank you!
