Some useful sites

Let's face it, the web is full of some utter rubbish, but some sites and blogs do stand the test of time and I find myself returning to them again and again for information, inspiration and ideas.

Fora TV - Stimulating the grey matter :-)

Swiss-miss - design in general.

Apartment Therapy - Interior design, but for real homes not showhomes - their smallcool contest was a great source of inspiration and advice when faced with decorating my own small space.

Real simple - simplify your life - idiot-proof advice and tips on a range of topics.

Epicurious - all the recipes you could ever want, along with reviews.
