Well, once upon a time, long before there was Houzz … before there were so many ways to bookmark and share your ideas on the web instantaneously and effortlessly … there were ideabooks: binders with plastic sleeves for saving magazine clippings and writing down our ideas for our remodeling projects or our dream houses. Now you can make an online ideabook at Houzz.com and it’s really easy. Read on for more about the houzz format and how to get your own houzz ideabooks.
