This question just came in, and it's such a great question that just couldn't post it right away:

Hi there,

I have a bit of an odd question for you. I came across your blog and noticed your affinity for modern architecture and design (me too!). I'm looking for a contemporary or industrial space in the greater Boston area to host a wedding. I wondered if you might know of any interesting spaces? Any insights or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Kate

For a contemporary space, I would guess the new ICA, or the Intercontinental Hotel, could be worth looking into. For industrial space, I'm not sure.

Does anyone else have ideas for Kate?

For the next two days, I will be at the Residential Design and Construction expo at the Seaport World Trade Center. I'll have a camera handy to take a ton of photos, and I have plans on meeting several new people, including Sam Grawe, Editor in Chief of Dwell.

Keep an eye here over the next several days for updates on all that I see and love!

I've loved Angela Adams' rugs since the first time I saw them. She has an amazing sense of color and style. That style is a bit more, well, portable now, with the Angela Adams Handbags and Totes Collection, now available from Design Public.

As Angela herself states on her website, "Our new handbags are made with rich, lush leather and cozy woven fabrics. I wanted them to feel like rusted fallen leaves and the snowy landscape of a Maine winter." With as much functionality as good looks, the bags would look great on all you ladies walking around the city all day.

The ranks keep growing. Meet Carol, aka Painter Girl. Carol is a professional, em, painter girl, and her new blog highlights her work with various techniques on client projects. Very cool stuff.

We're now up to six Boston area bloggers. Welcome to the blogosphere, Carol!
