Marth Stewart on blogging!

I don't think you can truly call yourself a blogger until you've blogged about a show about blogging. Martha talks about blogging and my favorite camera, the cannon G9. But the real reason I'm bring this up is to say a big congrats to Maria and Stephanie on their book A Year of Mornings which Martha recommends. I've been following their photoblog 3191for awhile now. Check it out:

I love the company Poliform. Their store is right around the corner from my house. It provides such inspiration on the modern, fresh, streamlined look. They have the perfect inspiration for any loft or converted warehouse. Check out my latest faves from their website:
