Hello everyone, I am Sudha and blog over The Design Enthusiast. Let me start by thanking Patty for the invitation to be a part of Colours Dekor and its wonderful family. And now a little about me :-)....I am more into design than into decor :-). I started The Design Enthusiast to document my research on how, why and when of design- be it furniture, architecture or say a simple home utility item. I believe in green living and do my best to put serious thought into all the choices I make.

I love to grow vegetables and herbs in my tiny balcony garden (I was not lucky summer '10 though!)

Having moved four times in the last seven years, I could never buy furniture and literally lived out of a suitcase :). It is after landing in the current city we live in, that I could invest some time and money into buying basic furniture. I shop for pre-loved furniture from thrift stores and Craigslist. Working with budget, space and layout and style constraints, furnishing is always an interesting challenge. Having said that, I have bought and sold/given away furniture and that is an on going process for us :-). This was our living room in 2009

and this in 2010

I have a few DIYs to my credit, here is one of them - A terracota bird bath and feeder. (all made from pre-used items)

Between hunting for a job and cooking, I blog @

and

as well :-). I hope to see you all stopping by my blog(s). Thanks to Patty for letting me share space on her beautiful blog. Live well and live green.

--- take care an luv sudha
