Nesting Place

Nest Hopping! That's what we're doing......hopping from one nest to another. Have you noticed a trend with so many great decorators? Nest is somewhere in their title. It automatically places me in a peaceful place.
~Nesting Place~

This nest is fairly new on the block, just starting her blog last October. I loved her from her first comment on one of my blogs. She is funny, smart, sarcastic..........just my kind of girl. Not to mention, she is thrifty! Like so many of my features, I am sorry this girl..................I keep calling her "this girl" because I don't know her name........and I can't find her email to verify she has one.......I just know her as The Nester now. I am sorry this girl doesn't live on my block. I'm positive we would stir up some trouble somewhere.

Ok, on to the beautiful photos!

This makes me fall in love with her completely! A door on the wall? Oh My Gosh! I love that! Think of the other possibilities...........Brilliant! And not to mention the colors of this room. Beautiful.

This is her old house............HER dream home. Sadly they had to move. This is the before.............the before? What's wrong with it? I love it...but wait...............Now look at the beauty? Va va voom! The girls got vision. WOW! I would have never seen that. Incredible.........I'm speechless.She is a total do it yourself kind of gal. She decided one day to learn to sew so she could change her bedroom. This is so grown up........I could sleep there, couldn't you? In fact I may never get up.Oh wait, I would get up to lay on this amazingly beautiful couch...........Look at the fabric. Oh......yes, the child is beautiful too............but really it's the couch we want to see. We're ruthless aren't we?

Here's another partial view of the couch with a lovely wall ensemble behind it.......Dang that book is in the way........Yes, yes..........another darling cute child. What's up with taking photos of kids? :) (sarcastic..........see? We're a match made in heaven)

OK, OK, it's clear she loves her family and her priorities are probably in the right place........but come on........these photos of her family are blocking our view of important house decorating. Excuse me sir.........can you step to the side please? Ahh, here's a lovely corner. She says she loves a gold frame, even if she's been told they are out.........I like them too. Who? Who says that? And she likes to use a lot of mirrors instead of a painting..........she's not committed to anything this way. Is she brilliant or what?Another lovely corner. That iron grate? She found it for a ridiculous low price at a garage sale. It's actually a good thing I wasn't with her, cuz I'm sure I would have wrestled her for it.Another solution to great wall art............love the simplicity of all white. I also love her use of the shelf sconces.This was her mantle over the holidays. Dang! And you know how I love me a fake topiary. I WAS right.........you can never have too many. I should have bought that one I saw last week.The same mantle.........different look. What's so strange is that I am looking for shutters to go over my fireplace! I really am! I have one of those TV holes above mine that I want to cover up.......CUTE! This just confirms my decision.And it's not just her that can decorate in her family. This is her sister's kitchen. This is an AFTER. You'll have to visit her site for the before.

So fly on over and pay her a visit. You won't be sorry!
