What's Your Favorite Source for DIY Inspiration?

My blogroll is overflowing these days. Each morning, I wake up to over 100 posts! I grab a cup of coffee and plop down in front of my blogs and place my stack of magazines at my desk. I have a great list of go to sources for DIY projects and inspiration — but I know there are a lot more!

Everyone has those few blogs, magazines, and maybe even TV shows that they follow closely. We hold onto these sources and trust nearly every word they tell us. We've invested our money and time into these sources for the projects they've given us. We all look for something different with design inspiration and how to instructional articles. I personally like a source that is attractive, well thought out, and gives me the information straight up. I don't like lengthy articles and I always love a lot of photos.

What are your "go to" sources for DIY and design inspiration?

My favorite resources:
• ReadyMade Magazine
• Curbly
• Design Sponge
• Real Simple Magazine
• Craft Zine
• Young House Love
• Martha Stewart Living Blog
• Decor8
• Apartment Therapy of course!

I also love/subscribe to Young House Love. The Art of Doing Stuff at www.theartofdoingstuff.com is also full of great ideas (and dry humor).

Very elegant!

I think it's so fab how many awesome blogs are out there - Apartment Therapy of course being one of them! It's too hard to pick just a few inspiration links, but in general mags, blogs & TV shows are my go-to's.

Thanks for the mentions! I'm very flattered. ~ karen!

Oh! My go 2s are Design*Sponge & Apartment Therapy

I love Ana White! It used to be Knock Off Wood but she moved to www.ana-white.com

PS - About your photo - I recently discovered iron-on veneer for covering the cut edges of plywood which sounds super cheesy but it actually made the plywood look WAY better.

This is the blog I run and my main focus is DIY. From crafting, to cooking, to designing.

Hahah! Looking at that URL made me wonder if the link was NSFW, ajsimone26 :D

@Katti -- I know, I get that a lot. Haha but yes, totally safe for work!

I read so many too! Most are already on your list, but i wanted to add the Brick House and Door Sixteen. I like following the evolution of their homes and DIY projects.

The Brick House
Door Sixteen

I turn to the ones mentioned here along with Bright Bold & Beautiful, Elements of Style, Effortless Style, Three Men and a Lady, Life in the Fun Lane, and Material Girls. All amazing blogs written by everyday people!
