I've interviewed a lot of decorators and design luminaries over the years. A
lot. But I still think I'd have a twinge of the old butterflies-in-the-stomach at the thought of interviewing
Martha Stewart. Don't get me wrong: I died a little inside when I wasn't able to make it out to
Canada Blooms on the 20th, when decorating's grande dame made her scheduled appearance. (I was on holiday, and it turns out, not too far from where Martha flew after the show to check out her fave Canadian breeder of Friesian horses.) I'm just in utter awe of the lady. She's done so much to elevate decorating and design in the public eye. Everything about her is just so... Epic. My colleague,
Senior Design Editor Margot Austin, had the chance to interview Ms Stewart that day, and you absolutely
must check out Margot's play-by-play of the fateful meetingÂ
here.
We'll be featuring some of our fave finds from Martha's cost-conscious (and awe-inspiring) new collection for
The Home Depot in our June issue (coming out in a matter of weeks), but I couldn't wait to share one of the standouts of the releases -- The
Martha Stewart Living paint collection. Boasting 280 colours, and made from a low-VOC formula, the paint collection is (as expected) a pretty big deal. To tide you over until the paint collection hits Home Depots nationwide in May, here are
Martha's Top 12 Colours for Spring/Summer 2010. Delish!
Those grays are particularly tasty, and the two teal/aqua options are a sure sign the trend for turquoise is
still gaining momentum. (I'm taking an Araucana Teal lookalike on my next
CityLine segment... Can't wait to see it covering a whole wall!) You've also got to check out the paint chips for the collection, which are truly spectacular. Each chip is generously-sized (3x6"), and on the reverse, features a suggested complementary ceiling and woodwork colour from the range. So clever! Tintable tester pots ($5 per 8oz.) are also available to help narrow down your selection before committing to a colour.
