Martha's birdcage

Back in August, before we started taping season 5 of the Martha Stewart Show, the art department of television was invited to Martha's home, Cantitoe Corners, in Bedford, New York. Whenever we take a trip to Martha's home, we are inspired by so many elements of her world. Her property is exquisite and encapsulates insight into Martha's mind—visiting her at home is a chance for us to see what new things are sparking her and a way to spark up ideas in us. I was certainly influenced and there were many notes that needed to be explored, but I was sure about one thing–Pico needed a new home.

I had seen Martha's canary cage before and it made me think about getting a bird, but seeing it again and having Pico in my life, made me think on grander scales. Immediately following inspecting her pet canary heaven, my mind was brewing up ideas of how I could do this for my avian love. As we perused through her house I jotted down some notes and when we returned to the studio to develop our craft ideas I sketched out the plans.
Everyone in my department thought I was insane when I was building my bird cage, but when I showed Martha the results, she was just as excited as I was to share with everyone an affordable and aesthetically pleasing birdcage you can make at home. Tune in this Thursday, when I join Martha to show you how.

  13. I'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and
    interesting, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I'm
    very happy that I found this during my search for something relating to this.

  24. This one doesn't apply when conversing to a possible
    date on line but it really could be preferable to get these issues fixed before meeting in the flesh.
    Instead, I asked him if he wanted to hang out some time.
    However, it is advisable to do some exercises to shed unnecessary pounds if a man is to find a
