OK, so I've exhausted apartment therapy and ikea hackers. Does anyone know of any websites for modern/contemporary design inspiration?

The first image in the ETA above almost made me piss myself, so anything that's close to that would be ideal.

One of the design challenges in my living room is a built-in bookcase, so I looked up "designing around shelves" and this popped up:

30 of the Most Creative Bookshelves

There are a few nice items there, but those 2 (the first one, especially) really caught my eye.

notcot.org

It's an aggregator, like FoodGawker. That equation bookshelf actually pops up in the results if you search "bookshelf."

Can be a mixed bag, but they're starting to tag by category

Thanks!

And my design-geek side just came out, thanks to this site. There's apparently a "Pantone Hotel" in Belgium. Time to book a flight to Europe hahaha

The Pantone Hotel is how I found the site! The next move was obviously to check flights to Brussels.

Bump!

I want a new, large rug that is nice but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I've looked at all of the usual places and I'm wondering if anyone has any go-to sources for rugs that I may not be thinking of. Thanks!

Their website is worldmarket.com (for those of us who don't know from Cost Plus).

I actually got some decent area rugs from Target. It depends what kind of material you want.

I got a good sized rug for our living room at Bed Bath and Beyond for around $40 last year. I looked at the clearance rugs and used a 20% off coupon.

Always go to IKEA, they have so many options

there are usually decent rugs at costco and sams. some carpet/flooring stores sell area rugs, and you might be able to catch a sale. furniture stores usually sell area rugs.

You can also custom design your own. Flor is high quality and can be done on the cheap depending on the type of tiles you select.

I was so frustrated today! I was at Joann Fabrics and ALL of their household fabrics are half off. I have a chair that I want to recover, and I stood there, no measurements whatsoever and steam coming out of my ears! GRRRRRR!!!!

I love them. I want to make a larger version, but I'm trying to see how it would fit in with the rest of my interior.
