I just discovered Houzz.com

I found myself immediately sucked in and drooling over some of the photos.  I'm trying to get ideas for a built-in wine bar / bookcase / cabinet space for an empty wall in our house (about 12' long).  Besides Houzz, are there any other places you'd go to look for ideas and photos?

We had a contractor give us an estimate, and he drew up a design, but I think it would help to really see completed, REAL projects (not just black and white plans).

Oh I have a love/hate relationship with that site. Love because so many of the photos are so beautiful and inspiring. Hate because I despair of ever seeing our house looking "magazine perfect" like so many of those places, lol. But yeah I love to waste time on there dreaming



Have you searched on Pinterest? I found a lot of inspiration pics for our fireplace on there.

LOVVVVE Houzz. Huge time waster. But yeah, it's like a gallery of professionally designed, professionally staged, professionally photographed places.

also a timesuck for me. But it's great for me to create ideabooks & comment on what i like about each photo - for our contractor to get an idea
