Of Martha Stewart : Tricia Rose : Rough Linen

If Martha Stewart is as smart as I think she is, tomorrow Tricia Rose of Rough Linen will be a finalist in the Martha Stewart American Made Awards and YOU can cast your vote for her! Believe me, you really should do that. Even if you haven't experienced her linens yourself, you will some day, I am certain of that!

And even if you haven't been lucky enough to have a delightful English tea with her in her atelier, and watch her at work on her custom linens with her wonderful view of the water... well I have, and I am here to tell you she is one very busy and very creative hands on artisan. 

Please get right on over to Martha's site and cast your vote for our own fellow blogger Tricia Rose! Voting starts Friday, September 7.

Then get yourself over to Rough Linen and order your very own luscious linens... go ahead, you need to get ready NOW for the coming wintry months and holidays!

Congratulations Tricia for making it this far with the coveted Martha Stewart American Made Awards!

If Martha Were My Best Friend :)

I'd ask (no, beg) her and her editor Kevin Sharkey to design the pied-à-terre I would love to have in NYC! Their collaboration in transforming his apartment resulted in this very chic, "meticulous-attention-to-detail-as-only-Martha-can-do-it" and glamorous showstopper. Kevin's been working on the home makeover for over a year, and he blogs about it on Martha's blog. You can read about The Big Reveal and get lots of great design ideas (how to choose paint color, how to use mirrors, etc) In case you haven't seen the pictures, take a look.

Pretty nice place to call home, no? What do you think?

Kevin started out by choosing a paint color for

the entire apartment, and went with Martha Stewart's

Heath...keeping the palette subdued so the eye is

drawn to the views

I think those are framed pieces of Japanese

papers...they look great at a super price point...also

note the collection of silver on the left..trés Martha, non?

I'm sure the Buddha wouldn't mind chilling out

with the ipod every now and then!

If you did not already know Martha was involved,

you would when you see the drabware and the

elegant subdued kitchen

an inspiring perch for a little work desk

I love those mirrors marching up the wall from just

above the baseboard...in the entry I think..to great effect!

and those chandeliers came all the way from Florida (I'm

just guessing Miami)

another brilliant use of mirrors...here mirrors gives diners

a view of the outside balcony, and of course, double

the visual space of the room

Kevin's collection of Japanese lacquerware brings a

shot of color to the dining room
