That said, I was recently offered a guest post from the bloggers over at the newer, but cool ChicTip.com. I like the blog, I like the bloggers, and I like when good new design blogs emerge, hence, a guest post from them. Also, I like their about page, which notes, “We feature stores, products, artists, reviews, sales, contests announcements, trends-in-the-make and more. Because this isn’t just a blog, it’s a community – for designers seeking inspiration, and for amateur design enthusiasts. This is a place where we can all come together, sharing our ideas, tips, and questions with like-minded people.” Which is totally my thinking about blogs – open, friendly, old-school community, and not snobby at all. Very nice.

Today I thought we’d look at ChicTip a little closer. They have some great posts so far and are worth a visit. Such as…

Foscarini – Modern Outdoor Lighting

Modern Menorahs – Our Top 5 List

They even make nice inspiration boards – which rocks. I like this one above: Back to The 50s – Inspiration Board

ChicTip has design tips, eco-design, furniture, materials, and even a few kid and green decor items I hadn’t heard of yet (impressive since I blog kid and green decor all over the darn web). I recommend you hit them up and see all their goodies.

New Design Blog Worth Visiting – ChicTip.com

Well the news is that they’ve just launched a brand new blog! and there’s more…

Imagine my delight, when I recently landed a new blogging gig with the Inhabitat team. Oh yes, I said it. I’ll be blogging on their brand new venture, Inhabitots. Am I excited – uh, yeah. but you shouldn’t visit just to see little ol’ me (although I know you want to). There are plenty of good reasons to visit this new pint-sized, design savvy blog.

1. If you’ve got tiny ones running around, and still would like to maintain your design sense, then this is the place for you. Inhabitots is covering all sorts of goodies like…

• Q Collection Junior’s Stella Stackables
• The Eames Eco Chic Modern Rocker
• Celery sustainable children’s furniture
• Convertible green ‘Taj Chair’ by Argington
• DIY KID DESIGN: Let the kids redecorate your house
• Make your own fold-up furniture with FOLDSCHOOL!
• Creative Color by Number Wallpaper

2. You can visit the above posts to keep your abode offbeat and stylish, yet still friendly enough for little feet.

3. It’s flipping Inhabitat – you know this stuff will be good. Enough said.

In any case, of course I’ll still be blogging away about quirky stuff here at Offbeat, but I’d love to see you over at my new haunt as well. See you there.
