My Favs, and Yours?

While I've entirely cut out television from my day-time life (Steve and I make up for that in Gracie's bedtime hours, though, I fear) I do indulge in the occasional round of blog surfing for inspiration and, okay, a teeny non-creepy bit of voyeurism. Which, c'mon, is why you're here anyway, right? ;)

I thought I'd share my favs with you, on the condition that you share your favs with me!

Home Design
I'm still a newbie at this, still searching for how to make our "style" come alive in furniture, fabric, etc. So I look at a lot of other people and think about how clever they are. My favs:
  • Young House Love (every day) - Love their aesthetic--beachy without being kitschy--and their DIY attitude.
  • Chez Larsson - Simple ideas to make your house prettier, homier, yours.
  • Apartment Therapy - Making temporary space your own.
  • Design Mom - Love how she interweaves family and design.
  • The Nesting Place - Believes it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful (thank goodness).
  • Making it Lovely - Cute, mod, a little quirky, with lots of mood boards to look at.
 Motherhood & Kid Stuff
From organization (ha!) to living greener, and of course finding cool ways to make a nursery awesome, these are my go-to's.

  • Simple Mom - Amazing resource of ways to stay organized, get on top of things, make life fun, and live more healthily & naturally.
  • Ohdeedoh (every day) - Nursery eye-candy, toy and game ideas, all-out fun.
  • Cooking Light - Pretty much everything we eat is from the magazine or one of their cookbooks: they make food Steve will eat and enjoy. Plus it's healthy, fresh, fast, and YUMMY.
Arts & Crafts & Things to Make
  • Ikat Bag - Oh how I want to make ALL this stuff for Gracie!
  • Make It and Love It - Clever ways to reuse what you have or make fun, pretty stuff on the cheap
  • One Pretty Thing - Oh my gosh. So many amazing things to make, all organized in one place. Updated daily. Heavenly!
  • How About Orange - Can't say I'm a fan of orange, but I love peeking at the fun & pretty things that show up here.
Your turn!
