SPRING IS THE SEASON FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT. HERE IS THE BEST IDEA WEBSITE!

This past week I had 3 patrons come in on the same day looking for home improvement idea books. One was wanting to redo a patio wall by covering it in moss (before the high school graduation party). One wanted ideas on remodeling her fireplace. And one is in the middle of remodeling a bathroom. (I could totally empathize with the last patron since I have been in the middle of a bathroom remodel for the last 9 months!) These books are a bit scarce at SG. But the best website is houzz.com . Your patrons will find tons of great ideas without a sales job. They can browse by style and space. I set up an "ideabook" for my bathroom so I can refer back to it. Great ideas are submitted by designers, architects, contractors, and homeowners. Click on the products or discussions tabs and prepare to be blown away by the wonderful creativity of everyday homeowners - and not just the rich ones.
