More of my trip to Las Vegas - have a look at my amazing suite at the luxurious Wynn Hotel
You may remember a recent blog about a book signing that I did at Williams Sonoma in Las Vegas. I realized that I had other photos from that trip to share with you. We flew into Las Vegas on the evening of December 7th, after spending a wonderful day in Washington DC, visiting the Blair House and the White House. We checked into the luxurious Wynn Las Vegas and had a fun night out. The next morning, I made a surprise appearance at the MGM Grand, where a sales meeting of Glidden was taking place. Glidden (AkzoNobel) is the paint manufacturer for our Home Depot line of Martha Stewart paints. The Martha Stewart Living paint palette will consist of 280 handpicked colors created by me and the MSLO design team. All colors will be available in interior and exterior paint in four interior and two exterior sheens. My new paint line will be available at The Home Depot stores across the U.S. and Canada in March 2010. It was fun crashing the meeting. Please enjoy these photos.
