I'm a huge fan of the design website at houzz.com. The woman who sold us the lot told me about it and gave me advance warning that it's addictive. She was right! I have since spent countless hours on it, reviewing photos of paint colors, built-ins, backsplash tiles, flooring, patios, kitchen stools, etc. If you want to see how your paint color will look or how to design around bright blue walls, you'll find lots of examples. If you want to see what's trendy, houzz.com will tell you. If you want to find that perfect lighting fixture, you'll find it. Because you can't always visualize how your choices are going to come together when you're building from ground up, the website has been a great resource. Even if you're not looking for anything in particular, their weekly e-mails highlight specific projects and are worth looking through. The only words of caution I would pass on about houzz.com are the same ones that were given to me: "Be careful. It's addictive!"
