Websites for Decorating Photos

[Julie-Ann]

Angelcute made the comment that we as a forum come up with some great photos.
There are many websites that show some nice house decorating photos but what websites do you go to regularly to find just that right photo for inspiration.
I actually use Google Images frequently. If you type in the right description and are prepared to play around with different searches, you can find some wonderful images.
I also search through Fickr.
Does anybody else use any other websites or sources for decorating photos?
It would be great to get a list for other forum members to search through:D

I just use google images too, and the blogs. If I see a photo in a blog that I like I save a copy. You should see my folder.........:eek:

On line Catalogues can sometimes be helpful - Laura Ashley, Coco Republic, Pottery Barn etc

For the business I often refer to Pottery Barn for Kids and Project Nursery, for personal motivation and inspiration I love looking thru the freedom catalogues, Better Homes and Gardens website (USA site not the Oz) and the Notebook website for DIY ideas.

One of my favourite things to do is to go through a real estate website http://www.realestate.com.au/ and look at the really expensive homes for decorating ideas. I have done this for years and have a collection of the pictures on my laptop under my "house folder". Some of the homes also have a virtual tours and you can really get a feel for the inside of the house.
I also use Google images too and another very good idea for inspiration is to look at Display homes websites Metricon, Henley, Porter Davis etc though the photos may often be copyrighted.

One that I love to use for inspiration is Pinterest (www.pinterest.com) you'll need to sign up to be able to use their pin boards but it's so much fun and you will find many lovely things. You can make as many pin boards as you like and then pin your favourite images on your pin boards... It comes with a warning though - it's a HUGE time waster!!

This. I have spent the last week, in bed ill, pinning things, I now have over 1200 pins, how did that happen? It's highly addictive, but a fantastic source of inspiration - I LOVE it! :D

12000 pins:eek:. That's a lot of pins:eek::D.
I hope you are feeling better Mrs Sweetcheeks.
