My Catch To The Martha Exhibit & Tour Of The Martha Stewart Offices

What a week.  I tin hardly believe it myself.  Here's a hint... it was ReMarthable. 

I've been a Martha Stewart fan since I was real young.  We're talking twenty years, at least.  For mortal that is 29, that is a fairly substantial chunk of time.  I tin vividly recall VHS recording the Martha Stewart Thanksgiving specials (how to roast the perfect turkey, baking the perfect pie, etc...) to sentinel afterward volleyball practise when I was inward seventh grade.

I've non exclusively been a fan of her style, magazines, in addition to TV series, I've been a fan of Martha every bit a employment concern woman.  I've studied her path, read all of her books (highly recommended : The Martha Rules) in addition to followed her story.  How did she plough her passion into an empire?  What her influence has done for the entire ikon of "Domestic Arts?"  How did she contend to run a creative companionship similar a business?  How did she live on hence darn successful? 

Here I am inward our seats earlier the exhibit started.

The laid was meticulous.  I loved looking at all of the staging details.  

I got approximately corking "Fallizing" tips for my house... perhaps another "Fallizing" post coming.

The novel draw of pigment featured a pearlized pigment in addition to a crackle pigment that I'm real excited to try.  As a gift for aid the show, nosotros got approximately of the paints along alongside a spray gun that attaches to the arts and crafts pigment bottles.  That's right... it turns it into spray paint.  You all know what a huge fan of spray pigment I am.  I can't hold off to receive it!

...and this Apple Cake.  I intend I'll accept to brand this cake inward the adjacent pair of weeks.  I late had an apple tree cinnamon scone that actually hooked me on apple tree baked goods.

More family inspiration from the set.  I actually similar that tabular array alongside the scalloped trim.

Some of the stylists getting everything ready for the shot.

Every part of the laid was perfectly styled - fifty-fifty the Twitter-er's desk.  Notice the LePens - my favorite!

Mike was most impressed past times all of the lighting... the entire ceiling was merely packed alongside lighting equipment.

I loved watching her during the commercial breaks.  She would proceed working on the projection they had been doing inward the segment until it was finished.  You could state that she withal loved beingness hands on in addition to creating something, fifty-fifty afterward all of these years.  For instance, inward the segment that they had prepared an apple tree cake, during the commercial suspension afterward the segment was over, she would remain on the laid in addition to complete scraping out the bowl, getting all of the batter into the cake pan, hence she exactly smoothed it out alongside an offset spatula.  It made it seem every bit though it wasn't actually nearly merely putting on a show, it was nearly her getting to do something in addition to doing it well.  She withal enjoys it.  

She was real gracious to the audience, taking questions fifty-fifty afterward the exhibit had finished taping.  I was hence impressed alongside the idea that she topographic point forth to give helpful answers.

After the show, I met alongside a fellow member of the PR squad for a tour of the Martha Stewart offices.  Yes.  It is true.  I got to come across where all of the magic happens.   

The infinite was bright, construct clean in addition to unproblematic - really a construct clean in addition to opened upwardly infinite for inventiveness in addition to productivity. 

I got the direct a opportunity to chat alongside Everyday Food Editor, Anna Last, inward the examination kitchen.  We talked nearly dissimilar challenges nosotros confront every bit nutrient writers.

The examination kitchen was hence neat in addition to organized.  It was laid upwardly similar a professional person kitchen.

Well, that concludes my root "Martha" solar daytime inward New York.  The adjacent solar daytime was approximately other exciting ane - a political party at Darcy Miller's (the Martha Stewart Weddings Editor) abode alongside all of the "who's who" of the marriage ceremony manufacture inward attendance (Peter Callahan, Sylvia Weinstock, Preston Bailey, etc.)... including niggling ole' me.  Stay tuned for the post!
