Welcome to Suburban Edge.
I’ve never had a blog before, unless you count some mopey LiveJournal
posts in college. Referencing Live
Journal probably reveals I’m 33.
I did the standard path of four years college, fumbling in
my 20s, finding a secure job, and buying my first place. Now that I’m here, I’m having a lot of fun
putting it together, but would like a forum to talk about my design plans
instead of boring my mom and my friends to death.
There are a lot of blogs are out there, but most seem to
skew towards married with kids, living in detached houses in suburbs. While I do live in the suburbs, I’m single
with no plans for children, and living in a mid-range condo.
To twist a cliché, my goal is to show how to have Belevedere
taste on a Smirnoff budget. I’ll be
showing how achieve a hopefully high-end look at a reasonable price.
The blog will be a mix of my bigger projects (renovating the
kitchen, updating the bathrooms) and the everyday ways I express my design OCD
(restyling accessories, making art, moving around furniture). The first couple posts will be a curriculum
vitea of what I’ve done in the 9 months I’ve lived here so far.
Welcome! Pour a gimlet, take off your shoes, and stay a
while. Luke
