Extensive information from our Blog
Sites such
as Pinterest have
provided a great place to store photos and instructions on how to create your
perfect home. Dozens of sites specialize in home decor inspiration, many with
an element of social networking or at least the ubiquitous ability to share to
a variety of social networks. There's Project Decor, Homemint and Houzz, to name a few. Most
of these sites haven't gained the traction that Pinterest has, perhaps because
they are so specialized. But if you're decorating and looking for inspiration
on the interwebs, you're sure to find these type of sites.
