Martha University

Exclusively available as part of Martha University, this classic from Martha Stewart's film archives is the quintessential video for every home decorator and Martha Stewart fan. Here, Martha personally guides you through a video record of the complete renovation of the Adams Homestead, a Federal-style Westport, Connecticut, farmhouse built in 1838. From tiling and marble work to the installation of skylights and custom cabinetry to the loving restoration of the wide-plank floors, Martha walks the viewer through the process of tearing down and building in. Along the way, you'll meet and observe talented artists and craftspeople as they transform crumbling plaster and dust into magnificently decorated rooms. It's clear from this footage -- with its comprehensive record of all the painstaking, detailed work involved -- how an older home can be utterly transformed with a measure of dedicated care and thoughtful attention.
