Want to give your house a bit of a facelift? Repainting a room can make a room go from "blah" to "wow" in a matter of days. But for me, the hardest part of repainting a room is actually picking a color. Thankfully, there are lots of great online tools that allow you to upload a picture of the room you are painting and try out different colors on the room to see exactly which one you think is best.
