Links We Love: Inspiring Kitchen/Bath Makeovers & Projects
DIY Life
Is it wrong to link to a round-up post in our round-up post? I hope not because these kitchen and bath makeover projects make for some nice eye candy — and they might give you some ideas for freshening up your space.

One of the most beautiful homes…ever
Curbly
Speaking of eye candy, Curbly.com’s DIY Maven calls this house one of the most beautiful she’s ever seen. Great use of windows to really bring the outside in.

Awesome Custom-Printed Window Treatments
CalFinder Blog
Speaking of windows, we’re obvious fans. We’re also kind of fond of these unique window treatments (one of which is shown in the photo at right). A neat way to turn some windows that might otherwise be a bit plain into true works of art — and nice conversation starters.

Here’s a Building That Makes Money Selling Electricity
Home Design Find
Speaking of conversation starters, how about selling electricity back to the grid to make an extra few bucks? This house in France is so green, its owners actually create more energy than they consume, without sacrificing a nice modern aesthetic.

Aren’t you pleased we made the “speaking of” gimmick work for the entire post?
