Design blog worth a visit

EVERY once in awhile I like to surf the web for new and interesting websites and blogs. Recently, I came upon one that I felt was worth sharing. It's called honeyandfitz.

EVERY once in awhile I like to surf the web for new and interesting websites and blogs.

Recently, I came upon one that I felt was worth sharing.

It's called honeyandfitz.com and it's a blog written by a stay-at-home mom who three years ago left her career in digital advertising to become a designer who chronicles her DIY projects for her busy family. The author has a passion for visiting flea markets and stumbling upon great finds that she shares with readers.

I found her site very easy to navigate and filled with all sorts of interesting projects and decorating ideas.

The site is divided into eight different categories covering such areas as before-and-after, do-it-yourself crafts and design ideas for nurseries, guest rooms and dressing rooms, to name a few. Look for great ideas such as ceiling treatment tutorials, DIY stenciled rugs and ideas on how to transform a room in 30 minutes.

My favourite category on the blog was the Inspiration Boards. Click on the "Pink and Navy Teen Girls Room," for example, and you will find a collage of personally chosen items the author has compiled to fit the theme of the room. When you scroll down you will see the website she has chosen that particular item from. This way you can go directly to the site and purchase the item. It's all very easy and well done.

There are many websites and blogs out on the Internet these days but only a few really stand out. In my opinion, this one is worth a visit.
