What just happened? Only a few years ago, mainstream media and its adjuncts ruled the world of home design and improvement advice—This Old House, Bob Vila, Taunton's. Suddenly, design and remodel blogs, each run by one or two people and with zero venture capital, exploded onto the landscape of home improvement advice. Here are some of our favorites.
Young House Love
John and Sherry Petersik are the best thing around right now, delicately balancing homespun and personal with professional and commercial. With over 3,000 projects covered, their blog is a one stop shop for home-related information. In addition to running their popular site, they also write books and raise two children.
Remodelista
Climb in this time machine and see what Houzz looked in its infancy before it became the corporate powerhouse that it is now. It's called Remodelista. Started by four San Francisco Bay Area women, Remodelista is growing in leaps and bounds, but it still retains the air of a tight shop—less than twenty editors and contributors.
