So excited the Homies are back with the DIY category again this year. I found some of my favorite new sites from the nominee list last year. Love seeing other people diving in and DIYing... more power tools for everyone!
I second @kitliz, this is a great source for finding new reads! Looking forward to meeting some new people!
Sandpaperandglue is listed twice!
I was just about to post what Michelle did-- my blog, Sandpaper & Glue is up twice.
Thank you for the nomination however the link is incorrect - the URL for Centsational Girl is www.CentsationalGirl.com - thanks for making the correction!
Kate
Thanks for the nomination, we're very happy to be included in this year's list! Last year's awards were absolutely great. We were able to discover a handful of new daily reads that we may not have otherwise found.
Oh Wow!!! Thanks so much for the the nomination! Loving being a part of this list!
Stephanie-
The two nominations have been merged together.
Kate-
The URL was corrected.
Thanks!
Thanks for the nomination! We're beyond excited to be included, and looking forward to another years list of amazing reads! Can't wait to update my reader with new blogs!
Not only is Kelly Marzka's blog View Along the Way very creative and informative, she's super funny to read!
I see several of my blogging buddies whom all are great choices to include in your list.

I am so humbled and honored to have made this list!!! I feel like I have just won an award for the Oscars! BIG SMOOCHES!!!
Thanks for the nomination! It's very exciting for me to see my little blog listed amongst some of the best! xo
Thank for the nominations! There are such incredible blogs out there.
Just one question, can you change it from No 29 Design to No. 29 Design? Thanks!
This poll seems fixed. I truly do not get how #1 could be in that position. No offense to anyone, but there are more professional, quality blogs on this list.
Hi,
what a lovely Blog!... and so much interesting ideas and nice projects!
I love "Little House On Corner" most ! (http://www.littlehouseonthecorner.com)
Kind regards from Germany,
Uli ;o)
Thanks so much for the nomination! I'm honored.
-Erin @ DIY On the Cheap
Aww, so excited and honored I was nominated among all these other amazing blogs! www.revamphomegoods.com
Thanks everyone!
Squeal** I am so excited when the Homies comes around! I just love The Design Confidential, I built half my furniture thanks to her and her amazing site! And so many other nlogs I follow are on heretoo but great to see some new blogs to read
@Anna h I totally agree! So glad she's (The Design Confidetial)on here and I built a bed for my boys thanks to her!
No. 29 Design is AMAZING! I read it every morning, usually before I even get out of bed! There are so many creative and stylish ideas, but what I love most is they are practical, too. I love the before and after photos, and the descriptions of how to complete the project really help me visualize how it will look in my own place.
Thanks to my hubby for nominating me! LOL
But seriously, I'd love for you to come check out our blog and see what we're up to! We'll be blog friends and I can't wait to peruse the blogs of others on the list!

Remodelando la Casa - hooked me with her fantastic kitchen transformation. Lots of pics and the amazing molding above the cabinets just blows me away. Tract home contractor anything doesn't stand a chance in her house. Cristina rocks!!

So excited about the nomination. It's great to be included in the company of such awesome talents. You guys always have a great list. Have found so many of my daily reads from the past entries.
Could you please change the "What's Ur Home Story" to " Whats Ur Home Story"? Thanks again.
Vidya from Whats Ur Home Story
Or a lot of people could just enjoy her blog? It'd be hard to fix this, you have to have an account to even vote.
thank you for the nomination! i'm in very good company!
samantha :-)
So many great and sassy blogs! I love seeing a storm of creativity in one place.
Thanks so much for the nomination! So excited to be included!
Congrats to all the great blogs on the list! I had fun voting for my friends and favorites and making a few nominations myself! :) Can't wait to see who tops the list when it's all said and done!
Thanks so much for the nomination! What a great line-up! I can't wait to check out some new blogs. Just voted for all *my* homies - you know who you are... or maybe you don't ;)
OMG - there are so many. How will I ever get through them all?!
How long does it take to get a blog on there? I posted a site and it is still not there after a few days.
Thanks for the nomination! What an amazing group of people! This is exciting!
I was told by a reader that they nominated us, but it's still not on here! (I also REALLY wish that there was a search bar or even an alphabetical listing option to find blogs easier, I've almost nominated two different ones that are already on here!)
So many great nominations! Added bonus of finding some new content for my Saturday morning roster!
Just voted for First Home Love Life! Great, Unique, and Inspiring ideas!
Thank you so much!
We're kinda shocked to be so high up on this list of A-Ma-Zing blogs.
We are just 2 boys doing what we love to do.
Thanks for the votes, y'all!
I vote for Kristin @ http://bliss-athome.com/ She has immersed herself within her home decorating, styling, repairing, rearranging and thrifting! Her style is so modern glam and she is most deserving of her raw talents. She continues to inspire us with her awe-inspiring growth and interchanagble ideas!
Jeni!
What a fantastic list of DIY blogs! I can't wait to check them all out. Thanks for the nomination, it made my day ;-).
Brittany aka Pretty Handy Girl
Thank you so much for the nomination! It's such an honor to be included with these talented and sassy bloggers. How exciting!

Check out Old Town Home! I found them through this same contest last year, and have read their blog every day since. Not only do they have great taste and ideas, they execute every project the RIGHT way, even if it means twenty extra steps, but they explain it so you can easily follow their directions. Their reviews of products and tools (lots of tools!) are honest, and if none of that is a big enough draw, then go check out their pets Mel and Lulu – they’re pretty awesome too.
Thanks, Karin. You just made our day! <3
Wendy & Alex (and Mel & Lulu too)
Old Town Home
Highly recommend BrightNest. They always have the most useful content and ideas :)
Highly recommend Little Green Notebook, Centsational Girl, and Vintage Revivals. There's some great design going on in those blogs.
Love your ideas on building furniture
So many amazing blogs! Congrats to all the nominees- There's a ton of talent here!
Never before has a comment posted here made me NOT want to visit a blog. Nice going.
I wished oh happy day had made it:-( but just discovered vintage revivals and love it:-)
Yay!! This makes me so happy!! xoxo
Really?!? Wow definitely disappointed in the voting. A lot of great blogs got overlooked!
Oh WOW! Thank you so much for the nomination! It is an honor to be included among such awesome blogs!
