If You're Going To Follow, Follow Wisely...

A while back, I posted a blog that contained a small list of some of my favorite Home-Interior-Type-Twitter-Folk to follow. It was received well and I thought I would keep an updated list and post it from time to time. Obviously, you can start by FOLLOWING ME (shameless, I know) and C.H.I.P.s . When I scan through my Twitter stream, these are some of the names that make me stop and look at what they're tweeting:
