This is Martha’s kitchen on her set. I love everything about it.
What do I love about this kitchen? I’m so glad you asked.
- I always love a working kitchen, one that you believe someone actually cooks in.
- I love the open display shelves with the white bowls and cake plates for usable decor.
- I love the open cookbook shelves, makes the room look lived in.
- I love the rolling pins on the beadboard. Again, functional art.
Beyond that, of course, it has beautiful cabinetry, paint, knobs, marble counters, glorious refrigerator, and beautiful floors.
Lots of lovely ideas in this kitchen!
Did you hear Martha has a new line of paint at Home Depot? I am definitely going to check out those swatches. I have paint swatches everywhere at my house and none of them are right. Sigh.

Agree Melissa, this is a great kitchen. Everything is accessible and the colour is great. Did you notice it compliments the colour in your header?
Jeanne :)
Me again Melissa, on another note, I seem to recall you once writing a post on blog etiquette. Does this sound familiar? If so, could you let me know where on your blog it might be? I looked at the archives and could not locate it.
Many thanks ;)
It’s gorgeous! I especially love the rolling pins display on the beadboard. She is so creative!

I love that kitchen too for all the things you said and more. What I would REALLY love is that refrigerator with the glass door..sigh. Thanks for the info on the paint line at Home Depot. I will definitely check that out. I cried when kmart no longer carried the MS line. My all time go-to color was Twine from her long ago line there.
I love Martha’s set., can’t wait to check out her paint selections at Home Depot
No, I hadn’t heard that her paint was going to be at Home Depot. Interesting! I’ll be looking for that!

My favorite thing is the cookbooks. I have so many cookbooks and some of them are in a cabinet since I don’t have enough room for them. This would be a great idea.

I would love open display shelves! And who knew there were so many different rolling pin sizes in the world?

Glorious refrigerator…amen to that!

Love this! I actually got to go be apart of the audience n her show a few years back…it is as beautiful and amazing in person! She waved right at me…I had a fan moment!
That kitchen is amazing…it makes we wonder, once again, why Blueprint didn’t do well. It was the perfect blended DIY and decor mag. She has such talent on her team.

i love the color on her cabs. wonder if its in the home depot line. :) that would be so martha–cross marketing her stuff.

It is a wonderful kitchen…my favorite part is the rolling pin wall decor. She is so good at making everyday work tools look beautiful! I am working on this…such a great idea!
I hadn’t heard about her new paint line…I am sure the colors are gorgeous! What colors are you looking at for your walls? It is a tough decision…just remember, if you decide you don’t like what you pick after it is up, you can always paint over it. LOL And at least it won’t be swine pink!! Good luck and have fun!

Melissa,
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
I love that beautiful refrigerator. I heard HD was bringing in Martha’s paints and dropping the Ralph Lauren metallics. The metallic’s will still be available at other places just not a HD.

I LOVE it….thanks for sharing….

Oh Melissa, I thought I was the only one obsessing about this paint color :) I have tons of paint swatches myself, not one of them is quite right. I will definitely have to check HD out. I just love everything about this kitchen, too.
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
love this kitchen, too!!! love the cookbooks displayed for all to see..
I’ve seen her paint line, and I am currently obsessed with her color called Conch Shell. The chips are cool because the back of the chip comes with a coordinating ceiling paint and a coordinating trim paint suggestions.

Haven’t seen her paint line yet but Martha’s got a few other goodies at Home Depot! Next time I’m there I’ll be taking a good look at them all.

I love those hanging rolling pins!
.-= Karen´s last blog ..Bedroom Inspiration Board =-.
I love the color of those cabinets, and how they’re all lit. Some great ideas here-especially those rolling pins! Makes me want to go thrifting/junking to find some!
.-= Gina´s last blog ..Sunday Gratitudes =-.
Love the open shelves and the white dishes.
Since I opened the shelves at the Hamlet…..I so loving it, can’t believe I was ever scared to do that.
Thanks for sharing.

I shudder at the thought of a glass-door fridge – only Martha is tidy enough for that! Love the crisp cabinetry and the rolling pins.
My daughter and her husband just bought their first house together. When we were there visiting last week she pulled out every single paint chip from Martha’s new line. They are very beautiful! If someone can’t find the perfect color, something’s wrong!
.-= Karen B´s last blog ..Knitting and Sewing Distractions =-.
I love all it…except for the open displays at the very top of the cabinets. I would never dust up there.
.-= Nikki´s last blog ..Doppelganger =-.
This inspires me to get my kitchen more organized! I can’t wait to check out her new paint too!
Oh, how delightful! I love how bright and airy it is!!!

I love how open and airy it is! I’ll be on the lookout for her new paint…

Yep, yep, she’s got great colors. We finally found the perfect moody purple for our bathroom and its from her line – can’t wait to paint that bathroom!
.-= Elisa @ whatthevita´s last blog ..Welcome to GrayLand =-.
I’ll have to check out Martha’s paint – heading to HD today for some paint for a “project” I’m working on.
:)
Hey, and look at the last photo on my post today – it’s kinda what my kitchen looks like currently now with new barstools. Yay!
Happy St. Pat’s Day, Melissa!
.-= Sandy´s last blog ..Tear Down that (Green) Wall! =-.
Who besides Martha has a COLLECTION of rolling pins?
But I still love her…
I love that kitchen, it is so bright, airy and fresh! She always does a great job!
.-= Stacy´s last blog ..Update Your Fireplace =-.
I just wrote a funny blog post about Martha’s new paint line at The Home Depot. I don’t think you will have any trouble finding the right color – you have 280 to choose from and they all have delicious names.
.-= glenda´s last blog ..Gg: on Liberty of London (part two) =-.
I love the open shelving as well, although I’m afraid mine would never look so neat. Still, it’s really beautiful

Just today my mom brought me the color chip fold-out for Martha’s new line at Home Depot. I haven’t had a chance to study it yet, but I will!
.-= Rebekah´s last blog ..In which I have a big mouth and a daughter who will not cooperate. =-.
Hmm. Obviously I’m in the minority here, but that kitchen doesn’t do much for me. I guess I’m not really a gray/white/stainless steel lover, but the open cabinets (sans white dishes) are something I’d like to try! Oh and I would go for a collection of rolling pins!
.-= Abbie´s last blog ..My big girl =-.
I’m so used to Martha Stewart “green.” This is quite a switch! Love it!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Stop by my blog to enter my Harney and Son’s “Irish Breakfast Tea” Giveaway. Just post a comment.
Best Blessings, KJ
Thanks for the reminder, Melissa. I need to haul myself over to HD and pick up Martha’s paint chips. I hear there isn’t a “deck” or full collection of colors on cards, so I guess I’ll have to stand there like a nut and pull one of every color. I’ve used Martha’s paints from other sources and while I do love her colors, I haven’t always loved the quality. HD’s own Behr line is very good, so I’m hoping their Martha line will be too.
And I don’t even want to talk about Martha’s kitchen. Makes me want to burn mine down and start over. : )
.-= Tracy´s last blog ..On the Occasion of My 100th Post… a Giveaway! =-.
There is a card that shows all the colors! I got it yesterday and am already trying one of the colors on my wall. I think I like it so far!! A put it in a new post for today.
Tomorrow is my “errands” day, and picking up the card is now at the top of my list. May as well start with something fun! Your new color is dreamy. I picked something very similar for my hallway. Though I have to say I didn’t mind the “swine” (soft pink?) Thanks!
Karen
Oh, Martha always has such great (egg-inspired) colors! Can’t wait to see the new ones. I’m not as in love with the kitchen as you, though. It’s lovely, but not functional-enough looking. Who is using three mortar and pestles and five rolling pins and three cake stands? I know they’re artsy, but I prefer even more beautiful function over form. Thanks for sharing though. I visit your site regularly for inspiration!
Karen
Great post~
I am definitely marrying that fridge!

I want Martha’s kitchen for ME! Beautiful :)
.-= 31everything´s last blog ..Your Trash, My Treasure =-.
I painted several rooms in my old house in Martha’s colors back when she had her paint line at KMart/Sears. I LOVED them and so did everyone who came to my house. I’m sure the Home Depot line is beautiful too. I can’t wait to check them out.
Dream kitchen, I could move in right now and feel comfortable for the rest of my life. Sigh…
