Building Easy Summer Floral Arrangements - Nest Interior Design

Outdoor Entertaining with Fresh, Summer Floral Arrangements

My lovely niece's high school graduation party is today, and she asked me to help her with floral arrangements for each of the tables at her party.  Her color scheme is a blush peach and white.  We got started with six of the same size container.  
When You Never Meet Your Client....and You Completely Remodel Their Kitchen

When You Never Meet Your Client....and You Completely Remodel Their Kitchen

The client had been living and working overseas for years, and they were ready to come back to their home that had been rented out, in their absence.  They knew the house would need updating, and they loved the idea of having the work completed before they returned.  
Designing for Everyday Ease in a Colorful, Cozy Family Room

Designing for Everyday Ease in a Colorful, Cozy Family Room

There’s nothing like sinking into a sectional at the end of the day—especially when the space around you feels layered, fresh, and full of intention. This family room is one of our favorite examples of how bold color and casual comfort can live beautifully side by side. The textured blue upholstery of the sectional sets the tone for the entire space, offering a grounding element that still feels soft and inviting.

Fresh, Green Bedroom Design - Nest Interior Design

Fresh, Green Bedroom Design

Our clients have been living in their condo for a few years, and were ready to transform their bedroom into a colorful and soothing refuge.  They wanted an easy spot to curl up and read in the afternoon, so we got busy building the concept for their space.  
Luxurious Primary Bedroom Plan - Nest Interior Design

Luxurious Primary Bedroom Plan

Our client had a generously-scaled bedroom, and was struggling with making it cozy and inviting.  The space had great natural light, tall ceilings and ample square footage.  
We started by breaking the room into zones, for sleeping and lounging.  This client loves to curl up and read in her bedroom, so an incredibly comfortable loveseat and lounge chair became a priority.  
Sucker for a Banquette

Sucker for a Banquette

A banquette is my favorite secret weapon for a kitchen remodel.  When we can tuck a banquette into a corner of a space, we get to utilize the space that was previously a mere walkway into useful space that can expand the foot print of our client's dining table and seating both.  
Spacious and Symmetrical Living Room - Nest Interior Design

Spacious and Symmetrical Living Room

A really generous family room had our client stumped.  She was wondering how to make the most of every inch of their space.  They have tall sons, and everyone needed a spot to stretch out and be together comfortably.  
Dramatic Blue and Gray Kitchen Makeover - Nest Interior Design

Dramatic Blue and Gray Kitchen Makeover

This kitchen was large enough, but the space still just wasn't working for this busy family. It felt dark and dated, even though the home itself wasn't all that old.  The client wanted this to be the ultimate gathering space in their home, so we got to work.  The island was undersized, the cabinetry didn't meet the ceiling, and the lighting felt very expected and basic.  
Ready to go bolder, we jumped in with this client and designed a space that was crisp blue, fresh gray and white....
Making the Most of Every Inch of Your Space

Making the Most of Every Inch of Your Space

 

During this family room remodel, we got creative about how to best utilize an empty corner of the space. We made it a destination by turning it into a functional and beautiful dry bar for this couple who loves to entertain their friends, family and neighbors  at home.
Blue Kitchen Dreams

Blue Kitchen Dreams

Black and blue (and white) all over.... Black and blue is one of my favorite color combinations, and it adds such a sophisticated edge to any space.
