Martha <3 Cacti?

I loved this simple, but elegant idea featured in the September Martha Stewart Living. I think most of us relegate cacti to kitschy, unoriginal southwestern homes, but leave it to Martha Stewart to turn that perception on its head. Here, a table covered with several different varieties lends itself well to her traditional style, but I could easily see this work with any kind of decor. The ornate table and uniform pots are what I think make this work well in this room. Such a brilliant idea for people (like moi) who kill every plant they come in contact with, yet want something green in their homes.

P.S. I've been on the road for most of August due to work commitments, and there is no other magazine I find more calming then MSL. It made a plane ride to Alaska bearable. Most of the articles don't apply to my 20-something lifestyle, but I firmly believe it is comfort food on paper. Love it (and her!). What magazines do you read to unwind? Country Living is probably a close second.
