I'm sure it won't last long, but it's been nice to have a lull in the workload and to have time to find some great inspiration out there. A friend and I are planning a new site, and I've had a terrible mind-block on how it should look, function etc. Six months or more with little time for checking stuff out can atrophy your creativity. But, I found several sites that are curing that little problem, particularly the two below. I love the bright colors of Design Finds, and this article about using vintage colors directly from the original image makes a lot of sense and can provide beautiful results.
Another nice design site is Let's Kiosk. I'm partial to minimalist sites, but they tend to all look the same after a while. Let's Kiosk has a really nice layout that functions differently than a lot of minimalist sites out there - I like the fixed right and left columns...works well here. Check it out:
