The Design Seeds blog is an absolute wonder. It features palette after inspiring palette of beautiful colours.
There is a fantastic tool too which allows you to drag the ‘RGB’ sliders and find a host of palettes featuring a particular colour.
For obvious reasons ‘artichoke hues’ caught my eye (its purple). Go forth and lose yourself for ten minutes (or more) in a sea of colour.
My friend’s house is one cool blog! Two friends blogging about everyday stuff as they do up their homes.
Lots of home blogs are far-flung places and while it’s nice seeing images and photos from far-flung places like New York and LA it’s also nice to see something a bit more local.
There are some great blog posts about gardening and decorating, makes you realise that you’re not the only one that agonises over paint colours and has a tough time combating pesky weeds! There’s a great blog-roll too.
I’ve just bookmarked a great blog Man Make Home, it’s a collection of short snappy posts featuring the quirky and the unusual. The work of Anthony Zinonos has just been featured and I’m loving the strong images and humour. Hope you do too!
dornob is jam-packed with home design ideas that push the envelope of convention! Categories include furniture, household, objects and interiors and you really will find the most wonderful and amazing things.
This blog promises to bring ‘new design ideas daily’ right to you and it manages it in spades.
Welcome to the world of Tchochkes, a blog that I adore. I particularly like the colour posts, check out recent gems such as Spring inspired decorating and decorating with denim.
Because a little decoration is such a nice thing.
If you would like a little escapism then visit Undergrowth Design. I haven’t seen anything as quirky as the Blaue and Blume designs in a long time. Available from My Deco.
Inspired by the obscure and uncanny the designer tries to breathe life into everyday objects to create an unconscious dialog between the object and user. The aim of her design is to enthral the user and give a sense of other worldliness to everyday life.
Apartment Therapy is one of my favourite blogs. It’s a huge blog with various divisions, New York, Chicago, DC etc etc. All so glamorous.
The site is a labyrinth of wonderful ‘real’ rooms and homes. Always more inspiring than a set in a photography studio. Their strap line is ‘saving the world, one room at a time’. Go forth, click and enjoy!
We like computers, need workstations and love a bit of style.
If you do too take a look at the good, the bad and the crazy workstations we have found trawling the Internet.
Globas Mobile Workstation
The Globus is a multi-functional flexible mobile computer workstation with style.

Hip Office
That will be hip as in bad back rather than hip as in cool! Quite simply crazy.

That’s all for now but we promise to revisit this shortly with some sensible suggestions, maybe even some that we can afford.

The ‘Jars of cute’ blog is a real find.
Jars Of Cute is a blog dedicated to cute art, craft and design, as well as things that make me smile.
It’s well worth an occasional visit to see all things cute, from house items, to clothes, gifts and all round lovely things. The blog is written by Ange, a lady from Vancouver in Canada. To her credit she blogs several times a day so there’s always plenty to have a look at. Here is a small selection of recently featured items.
Visit Jars of cute and make yourself smile!
