Code Complete is a good read with plenty of advice on programming style and design.

You can get ideas for programs from programming contest sites, for example:

Previous ICFP contests
acm.uva.es problem set archive

Also, try learning languages that are very different from C/++, like Haskell or J. That forces you to think about programming and problem solving in different ways.
