I'm in the middle of redecorating my bathroom, and I need some inspiration.

I've gotten the paint and all that done - and I'm mostly firm on the colour scheme. But I'd love to see site with other people's ideas.

I currently visit ApartmentTherapy (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com) and DesignSponge (http://designsponge.blogspot.com/), but I need more.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Not all about bathrooms but here are some I visit:

It's dangerous to read blogs though - I end up spending way too much time drooling over all the "dream rooms" especially if I start wandering off following links and links... Next thing I know it's 4am and DH wonders WTH I was doing staying up so late.

nak-Not a blog, but there are some interesting flickr groups I like to peruse (like having access to an amazing array of magazine photos :) ) Domino is one, but i'm blanking on some of the others..

Also, I learned about this site from someone here at the BBB (Karen I think?)

I read it all of the time now. Her most recent post has a link to a bunch of her other favorite sites, which may help.

I love garden webs www.thathomesite.com

They do have a specific forum for bathrooms and you can ask for ideas about yours. I love the home decorating forum best. You can post pictures and ask for suggestions. Many people post pictures of their completed project sand you will get got iseas from that.Warning, it is addictive.

here's another link to a design blog. The pics never fail to make me wonder why my house can't look like that.... (I wonder when my '3 kids under 5' excuse won't be good enough anymore)

BTW, rumor has it Domino is disappearing. I read that March is the last issue and the website will be gone too. Domino and In Style are the only two "me" magazines that I read when I have a quiet moment to myself, even though I can't afford a lot of the stuff in there. Very sad.

I heard that too. Domino was the only magazine I was going to keep my subscription to this year - now I guess I'll keep Real Simple, although it's gotten a little repetitive.

With House & Garden, InStyle Home, Blueprint, Home and now Domino, I simply do not know what to subscribe to next. Do I just have really bad taste, that whatever magazine I end up liking just goes belly up? LOL... Well, if you find something new other than Real Simple, please keep us posted.
