When I'm lost, I look at palettes, or I piece words together - little things that can begin a site from nothing. But the break is the best suggestion so far. Your creativity's been exhausted; give it a chance to return. Definitely go for a break.

Your inspiration will come back by itself :) Try having a break, doing something different. Your inspiration will come back by itself :)

You’ve got a really nice layout in the wordpress theme viewer

I'm having the exact same problem (and I've got a new website to theme!). A tip that someone gave me recently that helped a little was: open up Photoshop and design something killer that you don't plan to code. I tried it and it worked. I mean, I still don't have a layout for my site, but it eased some design-block frustration. I was free to just out-and-out design, putting together a layout that looked really good without thinking "now, if I layer this div inside of this div..." or "I'll center align this part and put a box on the paragraph underneath" or ... well, I'm sure you get the point. Haha, I don't even know who you are, this is the only post of yours I've seen, but you've got a really nice layout in the wordpress theme viewer (where I am ashamed to report that I was looking for inspiration myself!!), and so it's nice to meet you. :) I just stumbled across here (boredom inspired link clicking) and IMMEDIATELY sympathized with this post.
