Martha Stewart believes that "the most beautiful things in life are simple and functional, but not always easy to find." That's why she teamed up with Amazon to create a storefront for all things Martha. She explained, "This enables us to debut some of my very favorite items on Amazon. We can now give the customer the ability to shop my new cookware, bedding, and textile collections, and they can enjoy videos and recipe content from my media library, which is very exciting. I think it's going to be very appealing to our customer base because we haven't had it all in one place before. I'm very excited about it."
She elaborated, "I like very much that Amazon is enabling us to have a brand store with both new products and existing products. Everything will be complementary and we will also include our beautiful outerwear, furniture, lighting, as well as garden and holiday. So, there's a lot of stuff."
Martha dished on her new Amazon products along with some classics in an exclusive E! interview.

Martha Stewart Noah Turkish Cotton Bath Towels Set
"All of our towels are designed, of course, for absorbency. They come in beautiful colors and they are made from long-lasting fibers that are easy to wash. I am really very, very fussy about the quality of towels that I use. To me, these are beautiful."
"I think the reason people keep coming back to the Martha Stewart brand for towels is that they have had very nice experience. I'm still using towels that I bought from my Kmart line years ago. I continue to add new towels to my home, but I'm not getting rid of the old ones because I don't need to. I am very happy with our towels and I think our customers really love the color assortment and how they're very nicely made."
These sets come with two hand towels, two towels, and two washcloths. Currently, there are three colors to choose from.

Martha Stewart Emerson White Cotton Queen Sheets - 4 Piece Set With Fitted Sheet, Top Sheet, and 2 Pillowcases

Our customers come back to us for our sheets, whether they're printed, solid colors, or wonderful patterns. These are very nice, well-made, and long."

Whatever you get, you will be able to use the white sheets forever. Just add to that. If you can't repaint your whole room, you can change up the look with some new bedding or even just a pillow.

Martha Stewart Highbrook Handmade Jadeite Glass Cake Stand - Ruffle Trim
"There are so many uses for cake stands, but the Martha Stewart brand is sort of synonymous with cake stands. We started the rage a long time ago. You can get different sizes of cake stands and stack them on top of one another. You can have many desserts or different hors d'oeuvre on each level. So, that's one way that I use cake stands. I love that. You can use it for an individual serving of desserts."
"If I'm serving breakfast, I will put it on a cake stand because it's a nice way to raise up a plate. We can do a lot of things. We can put pyramids of fresh fruit on them. You can do a really beautiful arrangement of small, potted plants on your cake stands."
