I'm surprised a post hasn't written itself already, since all I seem to do these days is "dream post"...yes, I imagine all sorts of posts I can or should put up, but it's the first one that is the most daunting. And that's why it's been a month since I created the blog, but am only now getting around to making my first entry.
At least I can now say "Welcome to the 21st century Sama", you now own a blog!
Why "The Design Itch"? Because it really is just that...we got married 2.5 years ago, and all our furnishings were bought after that, but I'm already getting antsy to change it up. Every time I'm in the decorating isles of Target or Ikea, I start drooling like a dog. Heck, I make trips to furniture and home decor stores when I don't even need anything, just to scope out their newest inventory. And I can't help but wish that I had a dozen rooms in our house, at least, so I could decorate each a different way...modern, rustic, glam, country...why settle for just one style if you can have it all?
So, since I don't have a dozen rooms at my leisure, and our pocket book (or the Hubs) certainly doesn't allow for an all new look every few months, I will channel my zeal through this blog...maybe one of you fortunate readers (hah, right, wishful thinking Sama) can benefit from it :)
2 things I promise:
- no posts without pictures
- affordable design
Eclectic dining room a la David Bromstad. The picture doesn't do it justice, this is a must watch episode
Living room by Candice Olson. I was inspired by this to redo our living room fireplace
Another Candice Olson Living/Dining space. I LOVE the pop of Fuchsia amongst the turquoise and blues
Oh what I would do to have a bathroom like that *sigh* From House Beautiful
And my latest favorite designer, Sarah Richardson, who renovated a farmhouse and created this kitchen:
Yes, yes, I realize I watch too much HGTV. Next time I'll show you my house. Until then!
