    Ummmm we haven't done ANY home decor to our house except paint the walls and buy new appliances! Any cool DIY type blogs where people showcase their homes and how they made them NOT look like college rooms?

    I know what I like when I see it, but I don't know how to make it look that way!

    So what do you read? Where do you find home inspiration tips?

    I read apartment therapy for Chicago and NY... I. am. addicted. Seriously I'm on here a lot, but once this wedding is over I cannot WAIT to decorate our house. I am obsessive about home design.

    How wonderful, thanks! I really like how young house love painted their fireplace white. Ours is gray, brass, and of course, this nasty red brick. Maybe I can talk DH into taking on more painting projects =]

    Keep 'em coming ladies!!!

    In addition to those already listed, I love Decor8 and Design*Sponge. I'm kind of a design junkie despite the fact that I live in an apartment with no house in view!

    NOt a Blog, but a good place for advice. HGTV's message boards. I like the boards more than the articles on the site.

    Not really a blog but plenty of eye candy decor wise. www.Decorpad.com love the bookmarks because it directs you to places to buy the stuff!

    Good lawd I have a ton! My favorites though:

    Absolutely Beautiful Things

    I second Decorno or Design Sponge - or anything by else by other Domino peeps!

    Also, something I've kept secret from most of my RW friends:
    For anyone who was in love with Domino like me, check out LonnyMag. It's an online Magazine full of awesomeness. Enjoy!! :)

    Design*Sponge is my favorite, personally.  RealSimple has some AMAZING decor suggestions on their website, too!
