Thanks! I love finding new home design blogs to follow!
Yay! Glad I was able to make “the cut”. 🙂 Thanks for the link. You’re one of my favorite reads.
Today’s my birthday yeah! Forty something (cough cough) Thanks Julia for mentioning other home blogs. I love to find new blogs to check out. Some of the blogs you have mentioned in the past, I have gone to their page and stayed for hours!
Happy Birthday, Christina! Hope you have a beautiful day. 🙂
Ahhh, thanks! You made my day! So super sweet! Melaine
Love this list…some I already follow and some I’m glad you’ve introduced to me:) Thanks Julia!!
Thanks for the links Julia! Now I need to head over to the Stylish Strategies for Clearing Cutter post . I really need to read that one!
Thanks for including Brooklyn Limestone on the list! I can’t take an ounce of credit for the project though but its always fun to feature other bloggers transformations.
I love Cote de Texas, she has such a timeless style! I stopped visiting decorating blogs a while back (HOH doesn’t fall into this category for me) because I can’t stand the “one project after another, non-stop spending/shopping/decorating madness that is so prevalent”. But there are a few blogs out there worth visiting that do so much more than inspire a shopping frenzy. I love blogs that offer gardening tips, advice on making a house a home, with a splash of decor thrown in. 😉
Such a great list Julia, I missed a few of these, so was glad to hop over and read these posts, all of them so great! I appreciate the shout out, too kind!

Hi Julia! Thanks for the sweet shout out, and posting this round-up! Let the clicking begin! 😀
Okay, what a nice post. I will read back over these very carefully and find some new blogs to love. Thank you!
I think I found some of my favorite blogs through a post like this awhile ago. Your blog is certainly inspiring :).
Thanks so much Julia! I’m in great company!
I’m going to follow your blog even MORE often nw that I know you share the love! Bookmarking this post.
I can appreciate Ms. Cote de Texas’s addressing of the flat screen TV issue, though I don’t agree with all of her solutions. Home theater experts have long battled the interior decorators (uh, “designers”) and their passion for positioning screens over fireplaces. While that’s a simple first thought solution, it’s not the best place. It’s uncomfortable to bend your neck upward, but it also exposes your valuable electronics to possible smoke or excessive head. Also, wires running over the mantle are hardly romantic.
If ever so possible, the TV should be in a different room from the fireplace. These focal points define the way you experience the room and the experience of a fireplace is very different than that of a TV.
awww, thanks for the mention Julia!!
wow! just saw this Julia!!! thank you a million for this!!!!!!
i have to laugh at the comment wade left – i didn’t recommend tv’s above the mantel. in fact I hate them that way because of the neck strain and the lost decorating space!!!
thanks again.
