Another week of web browsing so you don’t have to……I’m eager to have you all share favorite sites.  The more we share information, inspiration and support for our various projects, the more beautiful our homes will be.  This week check out these sites:1-design-button2

A Canadian and Australian trying to make the world beautiful one room at a time is the premise of Desire to Inspire. The most recent post is all about green walls - lots of shades of green – check it out.

As summer winds down, we’re still enjoying the outdoors and here’s 4 Creative Outdoor Lighting ideas from Real Simple.

Be Jane is a DIY site geared to women – everything from how to faux finish a wall to how to change out a light fixture.

If you’re looking for a site with lots of pretty room pictures, this one is much like a magazine in that regard….not much commentary, but lots of inspirational rooms.  It seems she’s an active designer so she shares peeks of her clients’ homes too - Lauren at Pure Style Home.

Other sites of interest are this great ‘store’ at Etsy.  For those of you unfamiliar with Etsy, it’s a site of individual stores all featuring handmade items – everything from greeting cards to furniture.  Because I love photography, this artist’s work caught my eye and she said I could share her store here.  I particularly love her architectural collages though she has lots more to see.

For those of you busy moms who find time for a  little online surfing, check out 5 Minutes for Mom, a site full of chat, ideas, tips to save time, etc.
Finally, for a little touch of “Oh My Gosh” take a look at this showcase of origami creations.  Stunning and ……. who has that much time???  Who knew you could even do that with paper?
As always, I hope you find something of interest in these offerings – and remember to share your favorite sites with us.1signature15
