Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes 'Round Here

This weekend, when nearly the whole population of the United States was gearing up for the Superbowl, I was hard at work spiffing up this blog of mine. What changes do you spot?

I started by revamping the blog header, which now is made up of Sister Parish's "Albert" fabric.

In addition to changing up the blog header, I tweaked the font styles throughout the blog and love the new look that a great typeface can bring. 

Oh, and just in case you needed more Ashley and Meet Me in Philadelphia in your life, I finally got with the 2010 program and joined Twitter (@MeetMeinPhilly).

Want to follow along?  I'd love to here from you!

I promise to share all of my best Ashley witticisms with you there.

There's nothing like a little change to make a Monday great.

I'm gathering lots of inspiration, and here's a sample of what I've got so far:

Paul Costello's Tips for Photographing Your Space

Do you want to learn how to better photograph your apartment and its furnishings?

For many of us bloggers (myself, for sure!), capturing our homes in "magazine worthy" shots is a really complicated process, am I right? If I could choose one modern photographer to shoot my home, it would be Paul Costello, who was the go-to photographer for Domino and continues to produce gorgeous images that inspire us all.

Recently, I discovered Paul Costello's tips for producing the best interior photographs via Decorno.
And clearly, some of us (me!) could really benefit from Costello's advice.

Feast your eyes on these spaces he's snapped:

Who wouldn't want to be able to photograph their space and produce images as gorgeous as these?!

Attention DSLR Camera Experts!

Hear ye, hear ye! 

Adam and I are toying with the idea of stepping up our camera "game" and are contemplating a few DSLR models. 

Right now the front runner is this popular Canon Rebel XS model.

The trouble is, we aren't camera experts and could really use a few honest opinions. We've been consulting sites like CNET, but I'd love to hear your advice and recommendations.

Do you have a DSLR camera that you love?

If so, do tell!
