Martha Stewart Inspired Living
I love Martha Stewart — I recently watched her recent documentary on Netflix and left so inspired by her taste and style. I grew up reading her books and dreamed of the day I would own a home to garden in, and cozy up and cook in. Scroll down to see some items I have curated that inspire me to live an everyday elegant life!
Everyday Elevated Style
Everyday elegance begins with the little things — having stylish staples that are both comfortable and sophisticated isn’t just for special occasions; it’s about making every day feel like a celebration. This cashmere wrap from Amazon is one of my all-time favorite purchases. A Martha-inspired essential, this insulated tote bag is perfect for carrying wine, florals, or snacks around the house. Pair it with a classic everyday uniform, a crisp white button-down, pearl statement earrings, and luxurious slippers for a look that’s effortlessly chic and comfortable.
Creating the Right Mood
Your home should be a sanctuary, where beauty, warmth, and elegance come together. Create an inviting atmosphere with soft lighting, fresh flowers, and a signature scent like linen, gardenia, or citrus. Thoughtful details, like a well-placed lamp or a cozy throw, bring comfort and charm. Vintage-inspired pieces, such as a vanity mirror or scalloped wall sconce, add timeless character to your space. My newest obsession is the capri blue volcano multi-surface cleaner.
Entertaining Guests
Hosting is an art, and the key is to make your guests feel comfortable and connected. Elevate your gatherings with a beautifully set table —think gingham or floral linens, vintage-inspired glassware, and fresh flowers straight from the garden. Thoughtful details like handwritten place cards and seasonal ingredients make all the difference. Here are some picks straight from Martha Stewart’s line, her new 100th cookbook, quart pan, or spring seasonal plates. These curated picks will make your guests feel like they went out to a five star restaurant for the evening.
Garden-Centric Way of Living
A well-tended garden is more than just a collection of plants — it’s a reflection of the detail and tenderness to care for life. Whether you’re planting hydrangeas, or simply arranging fresh-cut blooms in a vintage vase, embracing the beauty of nature brings a sense of peace and purpose to your daily routine. If I took anything away from Martha Stewart when I was younger, it is that her garden is where she finds her most peace. Here are some curated picks from some of my favorite brands. I adore the floral monogrammed picnic blanket that pairs perfectly with the scalloped picnic basket. Or the vintage inspired rattan swan basket, perfect for harvesting flowers or using as a basket to bring things inside from outdoors.
Elevating Everyday Luxuries
Luxury isn’t about extravagance, it’s about making the ordinary feel special. A luxury bath towel, robe, or monogrammed pajamas can turn daily rituals into cherished experiences. Surround yourself with things that bring joy, and suddenly, even the simplest moments — morning coffee, fresh flowers, or laying down in bed at night turn into the most luxurious moments.
I hope you feel inspired to create sweet moments even with these affordable everyday items. I appreciate you being here SO much!
