Do you have an iPad? Do you own a home? If so, I’ve got five awesome apps for you to play with, most of which are free. Even the ones that aren’t free are so worth it that you might want to try them out anyway.

Who would have thought that you could control your TV with your iPad? And match colors you see in the world to exact hues with Sherwin-Williams? And carry a comprehensive wood grain library with you everywhere you go? Oh, and did I mention: An app to measure your rooms and a different one to help you decorate them?

Here are 5 incredible apps for the iPad that I think most homeowners will love:

ColorSnap: Capture real world colors and match them to Sherwin-Williams paint colors—for free.
