Design*Sponge

Design*Sponge is a blog dedicated to modern home and product design, run by a former Domino editor. The constantly updated site has been around since 2004 and is a veritable treasure trove of stylish tips for your abode (and life). We love the product guides (for stuff like wallpaper and mirrors under $100 and modern flatware, plus the most stylish holiday gift guides around). "Mini Trends" posts highlight hot trends, and there's plenty of material for those on budgets and DIY-ers (like a paper clock and Ukrainian eggs). Our favorite feature is "Before and After," which spotlights readers' efforts to give tired rooms and furniture makeovers--the results, and everything else on this site, will inspire you to make changes in your own house.
