Modern Life is Great

Despite all the doom and gloom in the housing market, there's one activity that surely hasn't slowed that much. The remodel!

Sprucing up your home in Spring is a time-honored rite that begun way back when the cavemen first swept out the woolly mammoth bones from their caves after a long winter.  (I just made that up)

...In any case, looking for inspiration before you slap down some travertine this summer? No need to go prehistoric - check out 30elm. It's a brand new social network for home designers; where you can get the latest style tips or show off your own projects and get some feedback from the community.

Have a look at this Asian-influenced home in Palo Alto or this ultramodern loft in NY's Meatpacking district for example. Not a mammoth tusk in sight.

And if you're looking for help visualizing your next project - no need to go painting on rock walls, Floorplanner.com or MyDesignIn can help you plan your redesign in true 21st Century style.
