C&H readers, we're getting to be good friends. And if you haven't already noticed, I have a thing for shelves. Especially bookshelves. Maybe it's because I'm still lacking in storage space throughout my loft, or maybe it's because I've been a bookworm since the wee age of 5 -- whatever it is, I can't get enough!
If you, like me, are a bookshelf fanatic, I have a new site for you, courtesy of the brilliant minds over at Shelterrific. The hilariously named Bookshelf Porn chronicles the amazing, the fantastic, and the downright brilliant when it comes to shelves, arrangements and configurations.

We've been invited to attend Delta Faucet's media event so this week we're traveling to Indianapolis to check out the latest from the Delta Faucet Company and receive a thorough rundown of new products from Delta Faucet which also includes their fashion-forward Brizo line and ubiquitous Peerless products.
If you're remodeling your kitchen or bath or simply want to upgrade your current fixtures you'll want to check in with us throughout the week as we'll be showing you exclusive photos and sharing video straight from Delta and Brizo. We'll be privy to products that haven't hit the market and explore kitchen and bath trends and new technologies. In all a feast for kitchen and bath addicts!
Delta Faucets covers high-low kitchen and bath faucets as well as anyone and many of their products offer state-of-the-art technology including their Touch2o technology that eliminates the use of handles and only requires a "tap" on the faucet to turn it on and off.
