Martha Stewart Creates KB Homes

Design Diva Martha Stewart will lend her name and design prowess to KB Home builders. Bruce Kartatz, President of KB Homes announced that three Martha Stewart home plans will initally debut in Cary, NC.

The floorplans and exterior elevations will be based on mini-versions of Martha's homes in Maine, Connecticut and New York.

Martha and KB teamed up after an introduction by a mutual friend, and a tour of KB Homes model park in Cary.

It's a Good Thing. The 3 KB Homes created by Martha Stewart will have flare and attention to detail. Martha wants her houses to have wainscotting and more ceiling trim. In addition, she wants to create ambiance by relocating the formal dining areas to the back of the homes, off the rear patio's. The homes will be priced from $200,000-$450,000. The largest Martha plan boasts 4100 square feet of living space and 6 bedrooms.

Martha changes every industry she becomes involved in for the better. It's high time that women have the ear of the old school builders. Martha, let's bulldoze the warn-out, boring box house idea. Congratulations to KB Homes on their forward thinking. A savior was needed to end the 21st century plague of vinyl siding, and who better to do so, than Martha Stewart.

We challenge all builders in their competitive, slowing environment to think out of their boxes. Hey, what about kitchens by Emeril, anyone? Bam!
