Websites That Can Give You A Better Family, Home & Heart!

Jaime and I are up to our ears in cabinet doors and shutters this week. So while weare in the studio painting away, I thought I would let you all in on some of ourfavorite sites on the web. We go to these sites

for inspiration, information, and even to shop of course! Hope you’ll find these to be just as good and useful as we do. Enjoy! Be sure to check back for what these cabinet doors and shutters look like after we’ve put our Off The Wall spin on them!

Information For Everyday…

Parents, Geeks & God: This is a great resource tool for all things having to do with parents, teens, technology and God. Right now, Bart is in the middle of posting a series titled, “Parents, Kids & the Art of Communication.” Be sure to sign up for the feed here if you are interested in some great insight and tips on family and teenagers.

Life Hacker: I refer to this site often for great tips on anything having to do with technology. They feature tips, shortcuts and downloads to help you get things done easier and more efficiently! Who doesn’t want that?

Benjamin Moore: Being the faux finishers and creators we are, this list wouldn’t be complete without a resource tool for paint. Jaime and I almost always use this brand of paint. It comes in a multitude of colors and finishes and the look and feel is amazing. This site offers several tips and tools for many of your decorating needs.

Heloise : Anybody ever burnt popcorn in your microwave before? Well, I did recently and it left the most wretched smell throughout my home for weeks. I immediately typed my way to this site for information on how to get that burnt smell out of my little oven, and it worked. You’ll find so many tips for the home and even recipes here, trust me, I visit it often.

Inspire & Shop…

Posh Tots & Posh Living: This site offers luxuries furnishings for real life. This is a plethora of home decor, children and baby decor, pet decor and more.

Tracy Porter: When it comes to this site, I am speechless. The inspirations just radiates off the page for me. With my birthday right around the corner, my wish list is full of Tracy Porter items. If you like modern/vintage, boho/chic and just plain beautiful, this is a MUST!

Amazon: This place has really become my one-stop-shop. You can now buy just about anything on Amazon.com. But the best thing about for me is you can make a “Wish List.” You can have this listed publically so that all your friends and family can check your list at any time for gift ideas. If you’re not sure about about an idea, you can read other’s reviews and comments for further help.

See Jane Work: The destinations for office style and organization. This has really been my go-to site as I decorated my office here at home. I used it for inspiration as I planned and styled as well as shopped here.
