Martha and Me

Martha-Stewart-Living_Feb-2011_Stencils

It’s always Martha, Martha, Martha!! She’s a purveyor of gracious living that has helped to shape the psyche of multiple generations of woman, a cultural icon, an accomplished, creative woman with business nerves of steel. She’s served time (very graciously, I might add), and served perfect desserts. Oh, and she also has this magazine…..Martha Stewart Living…and the February 2011 issue features a lovely furniture application of my original Ribbon Damask Stencil, available in two sizes through Royal Design Studio. How cool is that?!

The Small Ribbon Damask stencil was used very “smartly” on the furniture piece above for the magazine shoot. 

Ribbon-Damask-Stencil

This easy, breezy stencil pattern looks good repeated formally, as on the chest of drawers, or just scattered in creative random abandon across a wall. Mix in some different colors for fun layered effects, as shown here with our version of the Large Ribbon Damask stencil .

So, what do you think of the vignette the stylist created above? I like it. It’s different, but I feel like I want to change something about it. Maybe the drawer knobs?? Not sure….either way, thank you Martha Stewart Living!!

    Congrats! How cool is that!?
    I like the vignette too, but yes, I feel there’s something I want to change. I think it’s the pair of pictures above the sectional. The shape? The even number of items? Is that it? Lol!
    The stencil is beautiful! And I love the dresser! Congrats again!

    Oh, yes… I just saw this in M’s mag. Congratulations! I think maybe there is just too much white/off-white in the LR vignette, white walls, white couch, off-white pillows. It does not look lived in or inviting. Also, I’m not loving the two pieces of artwork on that wall, but the stencil design is one of my favorites so it’s nice to see it used two different ways.
