It’s been 26 years since Martha Stewart purchased her home on one acre along Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton, New York. The house needed much work but, naturally, Martha saw the potential and took on the challenge of a complete renovation to make it her own. The home has been designed…and redesigned (a woman after my own heart!) and the gardens overhauled. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Ms. Martha. The interiors were redone a few years ago in soothing tones of neutrals including khakis, buttercreams, beiges, and greiges. There is even a touch of pink. The home also incorporates what I like to consider one of Martha’s trademark design tricks: painting the walls and the casework one color. Overall, the home doesn’t feel overly decorated. In fact, with the exception of a few rooms, it’s quite simple in design. It’s proof that good design doesn’t have to be fussy.
I don’t know about you, but I never tire of visiting Martha at home. If you enjoyed this home tour and want to take a look at Martha’s first home, Turkey Hill, you can read my post here.

This was fun, I’d ever seen the inside of this house. She does have some spectacular homes.

Martha never-ever ceases to inspire. Once again she has achieved a wonderful result. Wish I had her budget to continually replace and renew.
Agree. But we might be dangerous with endless money! She always inspires and makes it look so effortless.
Beautiful. It interesting to see how Martha’s style has evolved over the years.
Hi Juliet. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. Such a great observation…her style has definitely evolved and I continue to be captivated by her design style.
Martha’s tastes in country living are inspirational. I’m 70 years old, a Master Gardener, and live on $826 a month S.S. and I have some physical disabilities. I still pay a mortgage & have nothing left over. I grow plants I like from seed or cuttings that I root or graft. Where does Martha get the energy to care for this big house and gardens? Just cleaning her swimming pool must be back breaking for her. I’m out every day hand ripping out weeds in my 800 sq ft organic veggie garden that I created all by myself by removing 100 year old grass lawn. Linda McParland Lindenhurst, NY
Hi Linda, thank you for stopping by and commenting. I admire you for growing your own from seeds or cuttings. We tried it for the first time this year and it is so very rewarding. So much so that we are thinking of expanding our vegetable garden. Martha is amazing but she has tons of assistance with plenty of staff to help tend to her gardens.
I wish you all the best.
