Nesting Instincts

Can we handle another Nest blog? Well you know if it has the word Nest in it, then you know it's gotta be good...........truth.

Nesting Instincts
I was talking to an old college girlfriend, and somehow we grazed the topic of blogs. I told her about mine.........she was surprised.......as most people are. She then said that I should check out a friend of hers who was super talented and lived in Oregon. FABULOUS! I'm all for finding new blogs, especially when they are recommended by someone I like and trust. I love it when they are in my back yard. So of course I looked this blog up while we were still on the phone...........I was so excited. I loved the blog and told her I would feature it.............even though she didn't have me listed in her side links! No, it's not a requirement.........I just like seeing that other people like me.........that they really like me..........OK OK........so I love Sally Fields too.

Back to today's feature. Courtney from Nesting Instincts has great style. Not only does she show you lots of before and afters she also tells you her favorite etsy shops and will feature artists from time to time.

Of course I LOVE the before and afters. Courtney re-designs rooms for people using what they have. Wouldn't that be fun?! I love for her to come to my house and add a breath of fresh air.

Just to prove she has style ..............and guts..........here is her before of her dining room.

And her after! WOWZA! Silver chairs! Now that takes vision. She has more photos of all the details on her blog.Here is a recent room she did for someone.........this is the BEFOREShe wanted to create a lighter feeling, brighten the space up. I'd say she did that, wouldn't you? I'd also say this gal loves Southern Living at HOME...........I guess the home owner was a SLAH consultant. Love that stuff.Here's a little girls room she re-designed. Stuff...........we girls never change do we?Ahhh, we can breath now.Courtney loves to plan showers, parties, etc...... Here's just a peek at a banner from a baby shower. Love that it's not the traditional baby colors. You'll have to check out her blog to see all the other details.Head on over and tell her I sent you........nothing thrills me more you know. She has great ideas that we can use in our own homes.........today!

And I have to admit my friend Laurie knows my style and just knew I'd love this blog. Thanks Laurie.

Another giveaway coming for Friday!
