Starting A Design Blog

We all have dreams. Big dreams. Mine usually involve throw pillows and coffee tables, Ikea and Ebay, thrift stores and tag sales.

Anyone can decorate a home if they have the cash. Whether they do it themselves or hire someone with taste to do it for them, money changes everything...including bad carpeting. I am not one of these lucky ones. Design Within Reach is waaayyy out of my reach. I don't have a decorating budget because there is nothing left after paying the bills and buying the food.

So here I am in my Design Anxiety working with the best online sites and discount stores to make my home beautiful, stylish and able to stand up to the harsh reality of kids, dogs and cats.

This is my mission statement and I am sticking to it. Maybe along the way we can help one another find style for less and 75% off. Ya think?
