A fantastic resource...

What a great website! If you are into interior design, renovating, DIY or even gardening and haven't stumbled across this site yet - go have a look. It's called Houzz - go to it here. It's a HUUUGE collection of photos from private contributors and interior design companies of the houses they have put together. You can search the THOUSANDS of shots by room, by design style or by city/county (mostly in the US, but also London, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv and others). The best thing about it is that it allows you to build a personal 'ideabook', adding photos and comments as you go. This file is held online and you just log in to access it anytime - great if you wanted to show a builder (or hubby) EXACTLY what you mean! Also great for trying out furniture placement without lifting a finger, or seeing intersting colour schemes with out any painting. These are a few of my current favourites... here, here and here. Enjoy!
