Design Fever

I have an addiction problem to my computer, design blogs, furniture websites and paint websites. I have the itch to redo our family room (whole house). Problem(s): 1) money: it'd be sweet to have $100,000 to just go out and buy everything I wanted immediately, but it's never going to happen 2) husband: Neal and I don't share the same flare for design. I want my house to look like the cover of Elle Decor or Domino, Neal wants our house to look like the cover of Hunter's World or Functional, but Not Cute (ok, lame title for a made-up magazine). 3) time: the process is FUN for me--being creative on how to have cute pieces on a dime, Neal sees any kind of process as a bother and wants the job done immediately. I take a long time, he takes 5 minutes. 

I don't know how to rectify my problems, but turning OFF the computer would be a start...

I totally hear you on the design fever. If I allow myself to visit any kind of home store type of website (like Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, or Overstock) I get the urge to redecorate. It's such a temptation! I do agree that, if money/taste is an issue, it seems like turning the computer off might save you from some ache. Why parade a bunch of things before your eyes that you can't get yet?
