The Nancy Meyers & Martha Stewart Movement

Why we’re all falling in love with domesticity again...

There’s something quietly revolutionary happening lately. A collective return to the pleasures of home. In the age of fast everything, more and more of us are looking inwards, finding comfort in the familiar, the beautiful, and the pleasures that we can create with our hands. Two icons of elevated domesticity that we are all familiar with…Nancy Meyers and Martha Stewart.

You’ve likely felt it yourself (or seen it all over your social media) the sudden urge to lean towards the homemaking lifestyle. Bake something buttery and golden, fluffing the sofa cushions and taking pride in your home. Inviting friends to enjoy all of the above. This is the essence of the Nancy Meyers & Martha Stewart Movement. A celebration of the home not as a backdrop, but as a character in the story of our lives.

When we look at these two iconic women that have paved the way for the movement of homemaking the underlying message that I take from their practice is powerful.
