What better way to spend some free time this weekend than browsing decor blogs and daydreaming? Because none of us do this during work hours, especially on Friday afternoon, right? Here are five blogs I recently discovered.
Ruby Gatta is fashion bunny blogger Fifi Lapin's unlikely best friend (Ruby being a cat and all). There are often few words in Ruby's posts, just beautiful, inspirational photos of well-designed rooms. Check out the "I Want To Look At..." for a list of photo posts by room. Perfect for redesigning any room.

The Hostess Blog is part of a bigger site called Hostess With The Mostest, dedicated of course, to entertaining and throwing parties. Read about the newest party theme ideas on the site and get the goods on the newest tabletop decor and drink recipes.

How About Orange has some great DIYs, free downloads and fun timewasters (perfect for a Friday). A lover of orange, many of Jessica Jones' posts feature the colour.
