welcome to designbean! i am a senior interior design student at east carolina university and i have a strong passion for all kinds of design. i wanted to start a blog that shows some of what i'm interersted in... designs i love, people and places that inspire me, and maybe even some of my own stuff i've done! incredible interiors, fun furniture and fabrics, and dynamic designs have always inspired me to create spaces that welcome people and make them feel like they are in a place that can inspire themselves to be the best they can be. i believe that interior design has the power to transform a space and turn a place that belongs to someone, into a place that someone belongs to. i'm so excited to start finding great designs and sharing them with all of you, and hopefully y'all will share some of your designs too!

since it's still pretty early in the year, i figured i'd start off with some suggestions on how you can spruce up your home for 2012! MSN.com has some fun and easy ideas that make finding inspiration for your own home projects new and exciting! which ones inspire you? let me know what you're trying!
