decorating/design sites

[Lucia]

What are your favorite websites or blogs for design ideas and new trends? We just bought our first home and it is going to need some updating. The kitchen will be getting remodeled and we will need to paint most of the rooms. It feels exciting and a little overwhelming. We are working with a kitchen designer and that has been very helpful, but there are so many options and at times hard to visualize it all coming together. I would love to find some sites with good photos and ideas. This isn't our dream home and we anticipate selling/renting it in about three years. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Check out That Home Site. It's like our boards but for houses.

I've occasionally lurked the kitchen and bathrooms forums, but there's a ton of boards, and I've found very helpful info on brands and design I would not have otherwise considered. There's a blog of the members' finished kitchen remodels, which should help.

Congrats on your new home!

Hi Teri,
Thanks for the links. It is great to see "real" kitchens in their finished state to get some ideas.
Thanks again,
