iWanna give you an iTouch!

If you know me, you know I like gadgets. When I'm cooking in the kitchen, I love to pop the iPod into the Griffin speaker system, play some background music while I'm looking up recipes on my Mac, all the while watching Chloe TV (we have the infant monitor hooked up to our flatscreen). I love to multi-task multi techs :) So when DuPont and Ogilvy PR asked me to check out their new mySurface app on the iTouch they sent me, I was giddy as a schoolgirl.


mySurface is a free application that you can download through iTunes and load onto your device. Think of it like a paint deck but for counter surfaces. Handy, no? It contains a gallery of Corian and Zodiaq surfaces which you can view by easily scrolling through the colour bar. You can even zoom in on the pics to see the textures that more clearly, and save them to your Favourites too.

We totally could have used this app last year when we were searching for counters for our kitchen remodel. And if we had the room, we may have considered a custom Corian counter for our bathroom remodel too. It would have been easy to whip out the app while we were in the store looking at tiles or fixtures to see what surfaces could work.

Could you use an app like this? Bet you could - and you're in luck because DuPont has given me one iTouch to giveaway to a lucky reader! Now you can download mySurface and have it handy for your own projects. Here's how to win:

1. Leave a comment here and tell me your favourite DIY or decorating related app. Don't have one? Make one up! For me, I would love an app that could create room layout plans if I input room and furniture measurements!
2. To get an extra entry, use the links on the left to follow us on Twitter, subscribe to the blog, or add us to your reader. And leave a comment here letting me know you did!
3. Prize must be shipped to a U.S mailing address.*
4. Contest closes Tuesday, October 20th, 10pm EST. Winner will be randomly selected and announced on October 21st.

Good luck!


*Canadian readers, unfortunately one of the stipulations from DuPont who kindly sponsored the giveaway was that the prize ship within the US :( But if you have an American relative that could enter on your behalf, please do!
