Well Hey!

Welcome to the new and improved Nesting Place.  I’m glad you are here and just like everything I do in life, this blog doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful or useful~or to go live.  Feel free to snoop around.  You’ll find lots of beautiful spaces where we will be able to hang out~once the doors are unlocked.

The goddess geniuses Darcy and Daisy are like brilliant contractors~they build and redesign the blog and then I get to move in the furniture.  So now the rooms are built but mostly empty and some things are still wonky, things will be tweaked and moved a little over the next week or so. I’ll be working hard to move in the furniture {publish posts I’ve been writing over the past few months} today and over the weekend and of course the coming weeks.  Come back as often as you like and thanks for putting up with lots of pretty imperfection as I prepare to introduce Content to Rent, Window MisTreatments and The Nest Files.

  1. It’s beautiful! I love the new box with the Welcome/Posts/Connect/FAQ except that I’m not sure what c2r is and anyone new here might not know what the abbreviations are for.

  2. Tracey says:

    Exciting move, can’t wait until the boxes are all unpacked!

  3. Well, it’s certainly very neat and organized, Nester! I like it! : )

  4. Meg says:

    Bring on the change! Everyone does good with a little change in your life.

    I’m SO EXCITED about the new additions as well. Hope it’s all fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Southern Gal says:

    So pretty and clean.

  6. So exciting, Nester!!! :) I can’t wait to see your new sites. With all the talk about WP and Blogger, I’ve been wondering if it isn’t time for me to reevaluate my own blog. I wish I could afford Darcy, b/c she is fabulous…I may have to save all my ad money for the next 3 years, but it would be well worth it!!

    It’s looking great here already. :)

  7. Elizabeth says:

    Congratulations on your site makeover! It looks great!

  8. I love the new look! Oddly enough, though, sometimes your content column is on the left and sometimes on the right…like it was on the left when I read this post and then when I went to comment, it was on the right.

    For the record (and not that it matters an insane amount because I am just one person), I like it better on the left with the sidebar to the right.

  9. Nadir@StitchSense says:

    Yay! I’m excited for you! I can’t wait to see all the transformations :-)

  10. Whoa! I did a double-take when I got here this morning. At first I thought I was at the wrong place! Love the fresh new look.

    Like Kristen above, I’m curious about why the sidebars switch around when you click on a post. I’ve been noticing this on various other blogs lately, too. Is this the new thing? Is my blog dated now because the sidebar doesn’t move around? I’d better call my blog designer! :-)

      no, it’s not supposed to do that, I noticed every now and then it did it on my old blog too. It makes me feel like someone just twirled me around really fast.

      changes will come but I forgot to add, both my beautiful geniuses are on a much needed vacation for the weekend & Memorial day, so everyone will have to put up with the temporary wonkieness, broken links, weird positions for a few days.

    :). so lovely.

  12. I enjoy change and think it awakens all of our senses so I am loving your new look. I love the simplicity and the tabbed box on the top left -that keeps everything nice and tidy. Can’t wait to see your other sites and their designs. Congrats on the launches.
    My best- Diane

  13. Daphne says:

    You probably know this…but when I click on your Facebook button it takes me to Twitter. Can’t wait for the final product…looking great so far.

  14. Wowowow! What a bit undertaking. Can’t WAIT to see where you go with this. :-)

  15. Great makeover! I am loving the new look.

  16. Look at you go (grow)!!!
    I loved your old look….but this is so fresh…and the box at the top is terrific…love everything together like that. Godspeed with the launch!

  17. Terri says:

    Love it!!! So professional, yet inviting!!! Congratulations!!!
    Blessings!

  18. It is beautiful! Just gorgeous – so uncluttered, simple and peaceful.

    I’m going to click through when i feel stressed :)

  19. carrie says:

    very snazzy – love how the sidebar switches from side to side – like it’s dancing around the blog.

  20. Liz Cheek says:

    I love your bird lamps they are so Anthropologie. Now did you make them or buy them? I am IN LOVE with them and I am not a bird person! Love the fresh look and the White Mac looks almost invisible :).

  21. I love it! So free and easy! Or fresh and fruity! No, that’s not right…. it’s calming and pretty and simple and good. I love it.

  22. jeannett says:

  29. Kacey says:

    Love the fresh makeover! Gorgeous!

  30. Christie says:

    I’m looking forward to reading “content to rent.” Can you share tips on making an older ranch house fresh? Thankfully, I have a great view outside. If it were mine, I’d install hardwood floors and paint the walls white. I’m also in a downsizing mode, and itching to get rid of more things, so while adding layers of accessories could disguise things (as you know, in a rental), its not the look or lifestyle I’m desiring. I do love nature-inspired decor … and lots of books!

    Anyway, your new nest is great!

  31. Gussy Sews says:

    so happy to be here — so proud of you Nester pal.
    xoxoxo

  32. I love it! It looks great!

  33. Barbie says:

    Beautiful space!

  34. Brook says:

    Love your new look! Simple and pretty!

  35. wow – the layout has changed even since i first visited, this morning! :) i must say, i do prefer the content on the left with buttons, navigation on the right – easier on the eye, somehow. happy virtual fluffing!

    -h

  36. Karen says:

    It’s a great new look. Can’t wait to see what unfolds.

  37. the nester says:

    Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments! This is my favorite look so far~so fresh and white and clean. Unlike my toilets.

  38. Gwyneth says:

    Love the clean simple look. It really allows the content to shine! Also love the section about renting. It speaks to more than just renting but living life with contentment. We have rented, lived in a parsonage and now own.. but you cant be happy if you don’t choose to be.

  39. Deanna says:

    I promise I am NOT giggling at you changing your post layout…no, really!!

    Love you, love D&D, love the new look <3

  40. It really looks great here. How do you do it all? I love the new look.

  41. i’m loving the tabed side bar that you can click and see different things. genius!!

  42. Wow! Clean and simple, just how I like it!! Good for you for taking on such a major undertaking successfully!

  43. AHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! I’m dying, I’m dying. I love this. Yay you! And yay for us!

  44. Love it! Can’t wait to watch it all come together. Nothing better than a makeover!

  45. judy h, says:

    Well yeah, I’m really likin’ it…all fresh and new. Leaves me wanting for MORE. I can’t wait!

  46. Looking GOOD, Nester! Hooray for a new era!

  47. Paola Norman says:

    Congratulations! I’m so excited to visit. Everything is beautiful I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

  48. Theresa says:

    So pretty! Looks great

  49. Jennifer says:

    It just gets better and better, I can’t wait to see all the new blogs you are creating. praying for your success!

  50. So completely excited about your new ventures. The websites are gorgeous!! Looking forward to bigger and better things for you though I never dreamed it could get even bigger and even better! Congrats!!
