With rug’s unveiling, Martha’s got it covered
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Normally, the press folks covering functions at AmericasMart downtown have a fairly serene assignment. Not so, Friday night when folks from Rug Insider Magazine, Rug News.com and yes, Buzz, gathered to chronicle the debut of Martha Stewart Rugs by Safavieh.
Natch, the lifestyle guru herself was on hand to introduce the stylish area rugs that will retail for $6OO to $3,3OO.
At a ritzy private reception at the Capital City Club across the street later, Stewart, clad in a white blouse, tan sweater and leather pants invited us to sit down for a quick chat. Of her new New York Times bestseller, “Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook,” Stewart told Buzz: “When I got married I was given a copy of ‘Mrs. Beaton’s Household Management,’ written in 1861. I’ve been working on this update of that book all my life.”
Stewart says when women joined the workforce, housekeeping traditions were lost in the dust.
“I realized young people my daughter’s age had none of this information.” In the 7OO plus page tome, Stewart even provides a cease fire solution on how to properly load a dishwasher.
“I love domestic bliss,” she said. “Hopefully, the dishwasher information can help inspire that. Thankfully, since my divorce, I don’t have any of that worry.”
