A great source for interior design pictures...

With so many decorating magazines closing lately, we find ourselves starving for pictures of amazing rooms. A good alternative is interiors designers' and photographers' web sites. Often you can view their portolios as a source of inspiration.

Below is one of our favorites, Pieter Estersohn.

PS For more pictures, visit DiggingDecor-it's full of interior design pictures (well, not quite full yet, but it's on its way :) It's a social community network for people who love to decorate. The site is new so we'll need all the contributors we can get! If you love decorating, come join so you can show off your portfolio, share resources and make some friends.

We hope to see you there...

Fabulous Beatles Chairs from Andrew Martin

Have you seen the work of Andrew Martin? An UK -based designer, he has that really cool, quirky, crazy English taste that we love.
