LGB, PYP & some Houzz on top

I recently found some fabulous new websites (at least new to me) that I just have to share with you!

On a daily basis I go to Young House Love to see what Sherry and John are up to.  They recently went house crashing and gave a sneak peak of an amazing house. And that is how I found Courtney at Little Glass Box.  Her humor, charm and amazing eye for all things graphic drew me right in.  Just look at this shot of her son's bedroom...



WHAT, amazing right?!?!?

My next new find is for all you Martha Stewart loving good deal hunting friends.  It is called Pick Your Plum.  Pick Your Plum features one crafting goody each day at an INCREDIBLE can they really do that price.  Items sell out fast so I recommend signing up for the daily email notice so you don't miss out on the good stuff.  Their tag line is "get it before your neighbor does" and we all know we want to do that!

I have also been exploring Houzz.  Ever heard of it?  It is an online community full of inspiration.  It has pictures upon pictures to inspire you.  You can create ideabooks and organize your thoughts for future projects and things you just love.  Like this kitchen...

I love the orange!  Something similar would look great on an accent wall in my kitchen...see the ideas are stirring.  So if you are trying to figure out what to do with a space this is a great place to start!

I would love to hear what you have been surfing lately.  Please share!
