[Sponsored Post] Finding your interior design style

Everyone wants their home to reflect who they are. But designing a room to reflect your personality is more difficult than you might think. The brand-new TEC® Skill Set™ Color Selector Tool, a mobile-friendly online application, helps you define your personal style and create rooms that show it off. The Color Selector Tool helps with big-picture design decisions – like color scheme -– and small details – like tile type and grout color recommendations.

Check out the tool here.

The Color Selector Tool will lead you through an image-based quiz to get a sense of your lifestyle and personality. The web application uses your favorite photos to identify your design style. Then, it generates a mood board that shows how you can highlight your style in your kitchen or bathroom.

For example, for those who value “a life of simplicity”, the Color Selector Tool recommends a mood board with “gray natural stone tile” and grouts in gray and brown tones for the kitchen.

In contrast, it suggests that those who enjoy entertaining combine porcelain or ceramic tile floor with a glass tile backsplash – accented with white grouts – for a sleek, modern look.

You can save your mood board to your smartphone, share it on social media, email it to a friend and even send it to a local Lowe’s® designer to set up a free design consultation.

I’m trying to include more knits for kids in my posts because I know a lot of people do a lot of their knitting for the little ones in their lives.

This child’s striped vest from Lion Brand Yarn is not only cute and great for kids who might find a full sweater too hot, it’s also an easy project if you’ve never knit a garment before.

Lion Brand rates it as level 2 easy/beginner +, probably just because there’s a little shaping and seaming invovled, but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

The pattern comes in three sizes that are meant to be for ages 6, 8 and 10. The finished chest measurement is 30, 31.5 or 33 inches, which is 76, 80 and 84 cm respectively. This makes the vest a little roomy and makes it easy to slip on over a T-shirt or other top.

It’s worked in two pieces from the bottom up, with the neckband and armhole bands worked in the round after the body pieces are sewn together. One benefit of knitting stripes on a project like this is that it’s easier to make sure your pieces are the same length because you can just count the stripes (it’s also a little easier to seam because you’re always lining up the stripes).

If you’re knitting the smallest size, you only need one skein each of the two colors you choose, and for the larger sizes you will only need two, making this project a pretty good value. The suggested yarn is Color Theory, a worsted weight acrylic yarn that comes in 18 relatively muted colors. Of course you can use any worsted weight yarn you like. Keep it acrylic for easy washing or use wool to make this a warmer garment for kids who live in cooler climates.

You can grab the pattern for free from the Lion Brand website, or get a kit that includes the yarn you need (and needles if you don’t have them already). I think this would be a great basic to knit a kid for back to school in their school colors, or make it holiday with red and green, or whatever colors the child likes.
