Martha Stewart clapped back at the ‘harsh judgment’ she received after posting photos of her newly decorated living room inside her Maine home on Wednesday. 

The TV personality, 82 – who recently looked radiant while celebrating Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 60th anniversary – revealed that she was ‘surprised’ over the negative comments left on her previous post. 

Alongside a photo of the room, Stewart penned on her personal Instagram page, ‘I rarely read all the comments that come in after I post but because I was so happy at the transformation of my Maine living room.

‘I did go through many of the comments and was surprised at the harsh judgment so many displayed!!!’ 

She added, ‘I and my Maine helpers spent three hours moving out the old furniture and putting in the new #we were pleased that the pieces actually fit the room and were proportionate to the large size of the space.’ 

Martha further expressed it, ‘was not a “decorator’s” professional installation It was an attempt to change quickly and efficiently Making a house a home, or a room a beautiful livable space takes a lot more than three hours.’

‘Of course there will be color, plants, mirrors, a new rug or two and other art and objects Stay tuned!!!!’ 

The star concluded with, ‘And by the way the birds are chromo lithographs by Carroll Tyson known as the “6Audubon of Maine” -so beautiful!’ 

The living room space was decorated with a large, cream-colored rug as well as off-white, leather chairs and a couch in the middle of the room. 

A black bench with cream cushions and an ornate coffee table was placed near the wooden-paneled fireplace. 

Black-framed pictures lined the wall above the fireplace, while various windows allowed natural light to stream inside. 

Her previous post included additional photos of the living room, as well as a second and third seating area inside the spacious home. 

Along with cream and black color scheme, wooden tables, chairs and other furniture pieces were included inside the room – offering a rustic feel to the space.
