I thought I would share with our admirers some ways to get & share design ideas. The internet offers the ability to search for any thing or any one. Over the years for my own inspiration for finding that perfect idea or style I want to give my client I learned to turn to some of the experts that share with the general population through the internet. There are 4 web sites that are leading in the new trends the world has to offer.

1st: www.Houzz.com: this is the most Professional web site that I enjoy being part of. It not only offers you design trends & ideas but it will also give you Professionals for any type of work you need to have done in you home or business that is located in your area. You can see their work, read their profiles & review what clients have written. Houzz Interior Design Ideas by CNN has the largest database of Home Design ideas on the net, w/ over 500,000 high resolution photos. You can browse the site & send your favorites to your virtual idea book. It is equivalent of clipping design magazines to a scrap book but easier & less time consuming. I suggest sign up for Updates@Houzz.com.

2nd: www.DIYNetwork.com offers latest trending on Design Ideas for Interior & Exterior projects & you can find info on new episodes for that coming week. Along w/ sister company & TV show HGTV you can get HGTV Inspirations every week through your email. Go to www.HGTV.com & sign up and start getting Inspirations of creative ideas, do it yourself projects, fun w/ your Kids, Food & Dinning Ideas, Travel & Hotels, Wedding & Party themes, & lots of contests to win makeovers. Also you can read what the Experts have to say what’s new & exciting.

3rd: www.Pinterest.com: This is a website also affiliated w/ DIY & HGTV but this site offers you a large variety of people’s favorites. This is an online Pin Board that you can organize & share things that you love & request invites for others to join. This site offers for you to pin up & manage your favorite things that have to do with what ever you enjoy in this creative world. Example: Design, Art, Food, Travel, Jewelry, Hollywood Stars, Animals, Fashion, Gardening, Floral Arrangements, Photography, Creative Invites, Gift Bags & Wrappings, Books, Cute Quotes, Tattoo Designs, Decoration Designs for Weddings & Parties, Hair Styles, Work Out Moves, Organizing Trends & Ideas, Sewing Patterns & Designs. It is endless what you can see & share on this site.

The world is filled w/ inspiring ideas, ways to make us think. These sites are tools that are offered to help us determine what style we’re looking for or something that will make us standout from among the average. So I suggest you start looking for your self, you might be surprised what makes you feel INSPIRIED…….

Remember to Smile & Enjoy Life’s Simple Treasures…Because everyday is filled with them….
