Designing A Home Project? Here Are Some Inspiring Sources

Do you have a three-ring binder or a folder crammed full of inspiring home ideas? The way in which we find home inspiration these days has changed dramatically. In addition to magazines we couldn’t live without, here are some websites, blogs, Facebook pages and  several magazines that continue to inspire our custom home building projects. We find ourselves sharing them on Pinterest and our Facebook pages pretty regularly. Check them out.

Who doesn’t love HGTV magazine?  Hughes-Edwards Builders President Bryan Edwards home is highlighted in a full page feature with his family for the December issue’s “What life costs in…”

Photo Shoot for HGTV Magazine’s December 2012 issue features the gorgeous French Country home built by Hughes-Edwards Builders for company president Bryan Edwards and his family outside Nashville, Tennessee.

 

“Architectural roof with curved detailing, mortar rub finish, copper gutters & lanterns, board & batten shutters and beautiful stack stone create a striking French Country exterior.” This is the Pinterest description of Hughes-Edwards French Country style home, the  #1 Pinterest pin for Hughes-Edwards Builders. Check out the Pinterest boards for your own inspiration.

Hughes-Edwards design roots have been strongly influenced by Carolina architecture, with partner Gene Hughes raised in Charlotte, North Carolina and a graduate of the University of South Carolina. Here are some Carolina architects of note we like to follow:

Herlong Architects always has inspring photos and projects on their website.

Another impressive southern architect of note is Christopher Rose Architects whose Facebook page has some great project info including their work on HGTV’s 2013 Dream House project.

The Facebook page of architect Christopher Rose always includes great inspiration.

We find great inspiration from several websites and blogs including Houzz, House of Turquoise, The Decorologist, Julie Couch Interiors, Jamie Beckwith, Elle Décor, Bella Tucker Decorative Finishes and Hughes-Edwards Builders!

Here are some of the Facebook pages we love to visit daily:

Landmark Booksellers, Interesting Buildings, Yahoo Homes, Recycled art Foundation and Hughes-Edwards Builders!

At the end of the day, we are still very tactile and like being able to hold a magazine article or photo in our hands. Here are some of our favorite magazines which we would not live without. Magazines we love include HGTV Magazine, Garden & Gun Magazine, Traditional Home, Architectural Digest and Southern Living.
