An era has ended. Martha Stewart is leaving Connecticut. She finaly put her three bedroom Turkey Hill colonial on the market at a $8,995,000 listing price.
Y'all know we love our Martha, and think her home (complete with pool and converted carriage house) is gorgeous. Except for one thing. Wallpaper?
Um, we really don't think Blueprint readers would be very inspired by this disgusto tree wallpaper. It's just a bad thing. A very bad thing.

um ... she PAINTED that, it's not, like, wallpaper.
KISSZ !
Doesn't that make it .. even worse?
Tote ug or not, its in the style of Rufus Porter, a totally important colonial artist/craftsman.
Tsk. So much for making American kiddies learn about their culture "and stuff" and venerating important colonial figures as models of the pionering "American spirit". Mr. Jefferson would sigh...(To clarify: the president, not the sit com character).
The point is that that wall decor is ugly. Not that it was styled after some totally important person with bad taste. And yes, we are young ('The Jeffersons' ended when we were two), but we are culturally aware enough to know Mr. J actually cared less about colonial art than we do.
