addict

i've recently found myself addicted to design blogs and magazines, like decor8 and domino magazine. while being incredibly inspirational, in the sense that it makes me want to have a beautiful, comfortable space, it's also somewhat depressing, as i don't necessarily have the means or the furniture and accessories necessary to love my space. that's all i want to do - love the space i'm in to feel a little more balanced, but right now it's bare, disappointing and draining. i haven't really spent much on the furniture and have found some really great things, like the medium round coffee table that i stained and the soft green velvet chair i found while 'dumpster diving' that's in miraculously great shape. my space is quite depressing on the architectural design side, but it's cute and quaint and i can't get over wanting to make it a space that i'll enjoy. i mean, it IS my space. so as soon as i perfect it, i will share, but in the meantime, i'm going to pout and envy the incredible designers in magazines and on websites.
