Martha Stewart Slams Critics Over Photos of Her New Living Room

Martha Stewart doesn’t allow anyone to criticize her home.

Stewart has responded and backed down from the “harsh judgment” she received after sharing photos of her brand new, newly decorated living room inside her Maine home on Wednesday.

The 82-year-old TV personality said she was “surprised” by the negative comments her previous post received on social media.

“I rarely read all the comments that come in after I post something, but I was so happy with the transformation of my Maine living room,” Stewart wrote in the caption alongside a photo of the room on her personal Instagram page.

“I have read many comments and was surprised by the severity of the judgment displayed by many!!!”

She added: “My assistants from Maine and I spent three hours moving the old furniture and installing the new ones. We were thrilled that the pieces actually fit the room and were proportionate to the large size of the space.”

Martha then explained that this was not a professional “decorator” installation. This was an attempt at a quick and effective change. Making a house a home, or a room a beautiful living space, takes much longer than three hours.

“Of course there will be color, plants, mirrors, a new rug or two and other art and objects. Stay tuned!!!!”

The star concluded her message with: “And by the way, the birds are chromolithographs by Carroll Tyson known as the ‘6Audubon of Maine’ – so beautiful!”
