Occasionally I need something new to drool over. When I've tired of Prada bags and Tiffany diamonds, I like to pop over to Houzz for my interior design fix. Sometimes it's a kitchen that sends me into a spin, other times it's a sun-filled living room peppered with plush white seating.

Although the name may lead you to think it's a new division of Snoop Dogg's global enterprise (welcome to the Hizzle!), Houzz actually has a uniquely homegrown (and decidedly un-Snoop Dogg) feel to it. You can create your own lookbook, rifle through the collections others have made, tag images and any number of now standard social media options. I like it.I like it a lot. And it seems to be building a pretty good following.

What I like best about it is that I seem to be looking at images of real homes of real individuals. The photos won't be seen in this month's MetHome, but the space itself might well be worthy of a seven page spread. And for those of you inclined to share your own photos, you'll appreciate that the upladed photos are protected from easy download and theft. It's a nice system for encouraging design professionals to share thier creations in an interactive format.

Me? I'm drooling considerably over several of the shots from Elizabeth Dinkel Design. Have a looksie yourself and see what'sin the hizzle for you.
