Favourite house blogs for inspiration
Well, I took the summer "off." It's all relative of course; "off" in this case means that I spent most of my time playing "Julie McCoy" for my kids (you know, the cruise director from The Love Boat?) Getting five minutes to myself to write an article wasn't even on the horizon.I did, however, manage to track down some excellent bloggers who didn't seem to have the same difficulty finding time that I did (they're probably way more organized than I am).
My favourite blog has to be Hooked on Houses. It's written by Julia, who does it because she loves houses and interiors. I love her comments and how she manages to locate some of these gems is beyond me! The link I've pasted is not of Julia's home page but rather, of the funniest thing I think I've ever seen -- decorated toilet seats. Read the comments below the post, they're equally funny. Her website is full of lots of inspiration, so it's a good read for all kinds of decorating ideas.
Another great blog is The Inspired Room. Right now the theme is "Fall Nesting" so it's full of great seasonal ideas for getting ready for fall...if that's what you want to do. I personally would rather hold on to our meagre summer for as long as possible.
In my dreams I'd like to own a Cape Cod style cottage one day, somewhere on the eastern seaboard. Since I really doubt this will ever happen, I have been following Shorehouse Chic for a little while. It's got great pictures and the couple is restoring the cottage with a limited budget (my kind of place!).
If you're into "green" homes, there's a great blog called Jetson Green. It's full of information on new building materials, buildings and homes that are using new lower impact materials than the current standards.
Do you have any great home blogs you'd like to share?

Thanks for mentioning the Fall Nesting Week! I start summerizing my house in April so summer gets its fair share of attention around my house! If I don't start my fall nesting in September, the season is WAY too short for me! It is my favorite season by far!
Thanks again for the great links!

Well, what a nice surprise to have my blog mentioned among your faves!
I do enjoy posts about "offbeat decorating," I admit, and those dressed-up toilets were too funny to resist.
Thanks! -Julia :-)
My favorite Toronto-area blog, hands down, is http://www.stylenorth.ca. The writer is witty and opinionated but in a good way--it's a delight to read and I have discovered several retail gems I had never even heard of. Bookmark this site!
I hope there were more posts such as this one you wrote. It inspires the construction and design industries to do better in executing fabulous homes. Kudos!
