Finally......

After many years of designing, styling, and photographing.....

Nest and Co has a website! 

I finally sat down to edit and organize years worth of photos, and designed a site that hopefully represents who I am as a designer; proud of my work, grateful that I get to do what I love every day, and careful to keep it all solidly in perspective.

Yes, the site is a marketing tool for my business, of course, but it is also, hopefully, an inspirational tool for the searchers, and my own personal flagpole on the moon.

Moore is More!

door: breath of fresh air #806

While recently reading House Beautiful magazine, I came across some ads for Benjamin Moore Paints which had some drop dead beautiful photography and ridiculously genius photo styling. 

This is not a solicitation, I have not been hired by Benjamin Moore. I simply thought I'd share the pretty.

Scenes from a Designing Life

Hello! Too much time has passed since my last post, I know, I know.

Here are some pics to illustrate what I've been lucky enough to have been working on lately.

Yummy detail

Everything looks better in multiples

And gathering photos of my work for my embarrassingly long overdue website, which is coming very very soon. 

So thanks for your continued views of a napping blog.........

Styling a Television Commercial

Recently, I was lucky enough to be part of the styling production for a television commercial shoot for Boston Interiors. Kelly McGuill and I were tasked with taking these empty sets and making them into warm, inviting, and stylish rooms to be shot for both TV and print ads. Here is what the empty sets looked like.

We set about choosing pretty pieces from the Boston Interiors collection,  including furniture, carpets, and accessories. We added a few artistic props to give it individuality and a bit of pop. 

Then the TV production took over. Here are a few behind the scenes cell phone shots of the actors, the lights and cameras, and the action.

And below are the finished room shots. We are pretty proud of these. It's hard to imagine it is the same space as before, no?
