There are two things I love about the Internet age we live in now. First, is that you can find anything...and I mean anything...on the Web. Just look at your search history, and you'll see the randomness of information you are seeking. My most recent searches include "number one song the week I was born" to "corner bookshelf" to "goody two shoes," and that's just the beginning of the odds and ends of information you can find online. My second favorite things about the Internet is that you can share all of this with just about anyone. Sometimes this seem a little invasive and scary, but, in the end, it affords us with this vast smorgasbord of information that we can access almost instantaneously from almost anywhere in the world. And, for me, that is awesome and exciting.
What's even better is the amount of great ideas that I get from the Web. I no longer have to subscribe to a bunch of magazines or be an insider in a certain industry to get information about said industry. All I have to do is go online, type in a few words, and, BAM, it's right there in front of me.
Case in point, home decorating. I always enjoyed browsing through my mom's
Better Homes & Gardens or
Country Living magazines, getting ideas on how to decorate my home. I also enjoyed (and still do) watching HGTV for new trends, styles, and unique ways of decorating. But, with the dawn of the Internet and mobile apps, which make browsing this vast network of information even more accessible, we've got sites like
Houzz and
Pinterest offering tons of ideas from all sorts of people and professionals that you can access and keep track of in your own personal virtual scrapbook.
I can't get enough of these sites/apps. They are fantastic, and I've gotten so many cool and unique ideas from them. I could seriously spend a day browsing through both the Pinterest community of images and Houzz's large collection of home decorating and remodeling photos. And, then there are the blogs! You can find a blog for whatever interests you, and get tons of information and ideas about those interests. I have a small but growing list of blogs that I try to frequent when time permits. You can check out some of them on the right side bar of this blog.
Now that I've shared a couple of my favorite go-to websites for ideas and inspirations, tell me what sites you like to visit to get inspired.
Cheers,
Teekay
