Design Happens

Two of my first stops on HGTV.com for inspiration are Designers’ Portfolio and Rate My Space. But our recently formed decorating community on Flickr is quickly becoming one of my favorite time wasters — or should I say time well spent?

I love the thriftiness of our members, especially those with an eye for turning trash into treasure, like Living-in-Penny. His cozy, retro ’60s living room is a combination of garage sales, street finds and thrift store purchases, but he could have fooled me!
