As much as we like to talk about tools at HomeFixated, our true love is creating safe, clean, sturdy and good looking homes with our skills. One of our favourite sites for design, décor and green inspiration is Apartment Therapy. It’s well-designed, constantly updated and features some of the best ideas in small home design and décor available from and in magazines, blogs, design firms and stores.
They recently held a contest called “The Homies” – a reader-nominated, reader-voted award for the best “homespace” blog, amateur and professional. According to Apartment Therapy, a homespace is “the media space dedicated to folks who love their homes, and it concerns decor, cooking, entertaining, raising kids, working at home and a whole host of green issues.”
The winners of The Homies were just announced and HomeFixated has won in all categories!
Heh. Kidding. We totally weren’t even in the running … but a lot of great blogs and companies were, and these are the top 2009 winners:
Home Design: Remodelista
Home Tech: Ikea Hacker
Kids at Home: Whatever
Green Home: maya*made
Home Cooking: Smitten Kitchen
Congratulations to the winners!
Do check out these sites. When you’re slaving away in the garage cutting a piece of crown molding or fussing in the bathroom to install that eco-friendly toilet, these sites can remind you why you’re doing it.
