any good groups/forums for home design

At one time I think you could input the measurements for kitchen online at Ikea and see what it could look like. When we decided to renovate we checked out show homes for ideas. We like sliding drawers with shelves and one with an insert to keep cookie sheets in. We made a pull out shelf under the microwave to stir food and give extra quick counter space in the kitchen.

Gennifer aren't you on a couple home decor groups online? All the ones I can think of (and use) are not private on FB.

Which ones are you following? Just so I get a sense of your style to recommend some.

Can you share? I'm also looking for a non public group.

I have used Gardenweb.
There's numerous categories to filter.
I spend a lot of time on there when I'm trying to get decorating ideas, etc but people give recommendations on kitchen layouts, etc so it can get detailed if you want.  

Or someone that says they have a $500 budget and the responses are how terrible their kitchen is and they need a 50K remodel.  

I use Houzz forums. I believe it merged with gardenweb several years ago. Some forums are more active than others but you can cross post.

If you are looking to mock up your design, I highly recommend the 3D Home design app. It’s very valuable to visualizing the project in a 3D way. We paid for the gold version and it was great! My kids taught me how to use it. My oldest was 11/12 at the time.

Not the same thing but I absolutely LOVE when people post AI designs because I love to look for the errors. AI is getting really good, but there are still obvious "tells" that are getting harder and harder to spot.

One of my doctors I've visited a lot lately uses some AI screen saver with light jazz and I'm just mesmerized by those things. They're of fabulous homes with cool modern decor and designs in some impossibly beautiful setting. It's like those old "find what's wrong with this picture" things. The table is floating, or the light is not quite sitting right on the table, or the plants in the woods aren't possible in that setting, or some other thing you have to look at to notice.

I wish I knew where they get those. I can stare at them forever.
