Hello! Welcome all my new Email Subscribers! I believe a lot of you are new from the perk of joining our Private Nesting with Grace Facebook Group. I have over 600 new requests that we are working on adding today. If you are not a part of our private group and want to be join HERE (promise we will get you added!) One question I have gotten from several readers is "How do I make my home cozy??" I gave 4 simple tips that I think anyone can easily apply. Also added another video from my Instagram Stories when I styled our bookcases in our front room- they are super cozy and I hope the video helps you! BTW- we keep our wireless printer in the cupboard below the open bookcase and a ton of books that we don't want displayed right now- it is OK to not have every book you own in your bookcase! I snapped this grainy- imperfect picture when my home was feeling super cozy and imperfect. I think that is the key to remember- cozy is NOT perfect! Read the post HERE

After I did the blog post on how to create a Design Board I received a lot of questions if there is a way to create a Design Board via your phone? I tested out two different Apps and I really liked both of them (one a little more than the other). I gave a tutorial with the steps on creating a Design Board. Also shared my new Spring Bedding Design Board. Head to the post HERE. It was really fun to play with! Answering one of your design questions today (soon I will be taking more) Design Question- "This is our family room, which is a work in progress. There's still so much we'd love to do when the budget allows. My question is - what would you do with this fireplace?! I've held off on painting it because I wanted to be sure it was the right decision. I love for rooms to feel light and airy but I also like some traditional elements like the dark beams so in some ways the brick doesn't bother me. However, it feels like a dark corner in the living room right now. This fireplace is our main source of heat so we have to be somewhat careful with what we do to it since it burns 24 hours a day for so many months."Thank you, Kerri My Suggestions- I personally would paint the fireplace. It would brighten up that corner and the nice mantle would be a great contrast. If you really love the red brick you could add some large wood boxes on each side of the fireplace opening and paint them white to balance out the white shiplap board you have above. Right now it feels really top heavy. NESTERS- (yes you!) Would you paint it?? (Comment on todays blog post!!) I did email Kerri back and suggest she move her sofa to face the fireplace. She did it!! She loves the change and so do I! Behind where her sofa is now is a dining table, so placing the sofa facing the fireplace also helps to separate the two spaces and break up all chairs.... BEFORE- AFTER- Great change right??

In the artist's own words: 'exploring shapes, curves and techniques, i produce aesthetic and functional one-of-a-kind pieces, imagining creating "ceramics to eat" all of my products are handmade and i often like to start by doing a sketch with pantones, letting myself be inspired by what i see around me or what i feel inside. i find the initial sketch a fundamental tool in the creation of the project, necessary to focus attention on the composition, between shapes and colors. i am fascinated by color contrast and a vibrant, imperfect type of illustration where reality and imagination meet to create well-defined curves supported by a palette full of bright colors. each piece is entirely hand molded and decorated using a local white clay made from a mixture of kaolin clays and calcium and magnesium carbonates. no piece is exactly the same, which lends uniqueness in look and feel. i want to create products that convey positive feelings and don't claim to be perfect but instead joyfully imperfect.' signed by maker less

we can't live in our favorite movie homes, but we can try to recreate them
Certainly the most striking thing about this kitchen is its windows, which blur the line between wall and ceiling and give the feeling of cooking, if not outdoors, at least in a very luxurious greenhouse. If your windows do not magically turn into a ceiling you can still emphasize them by painting the inside frames black, which will turn them into a striking architectural feature even if they only just go up and down, like boring old windows do.

Last post before Christmas! That is pretty exciting. I joined an amazing group of bloggers for a Christmas Night tour. I think this is easily going to be my favorite tour yet. Have you ever been to a progressive dinner? Where you start appetizers at a neighbors house, drinks at the next and keep moving around to see all your neighbors homes and eat dinner in small bites along the way. End at dessert! Although there is no food on the tour...there are over 25 homes you can easily peep into. Easier than a Progressive Dinner. I hope you make it over to the blog today to see our home at night. And I just and I just want to say Merry Christmas to you! I honestly wish I could have you all over to our home to do this tour in person. Thank you for supporting my blog, what a gift you have given to me. xxxxx
