You're My Inspiration...
Don't ask me why I felt the need to channel a cheesy "Chicago" song as the title of this post...
http://www.houzz.com/
I found this web site several months ago. If you need some INSPIRATION for a redecorating project, this web site's kind of fun to check out. You can search by room, so if you're looking for a new color scheme for your bedroom, or trying to decide where to get started remodelling your kitchen, you can get lots of ideas from this one site.
As my husband and I have been planning the house we want to build (sometime this next decade, I hope *sarcasm*), I have been checking out this site for ideas. You can really get sucked in -- there are 1,000s of pics posted.

IRS guidelines about tax credit
National Association of Realtors article on Tax Credit
Seriously, this is an amazing opportunity. Last year, the tax credit was only for first-time homebuyers. It was set to expire on November 30, 2009. However, Congress voted to extend the First-time Homebuyer Tax Credit, and in the process, extend it to also apply to people who already own homes. For existing homeowners, you have to have lived in a home for 5 (consecutive years) of the past 8 years (8 years immediately prior to the purchase date of the new home being purchased).
First-time Homebuyer credit = $8,000
Existing Homeowner tax credit = up to $6,500
SOOOO........ Don't sit on the fence! This WILL run out in a few months! Plus interest rates are still GREAT!
