I discovered The Nester last night and became instantly inspired. Yes, her home is beautiful and she gives wonderful tips. It was her philosophy on decorating, however, that really struck me. Her mantra is, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful".


I tell you what, this is mountain moving stuff in my neck of the woods. Talk about a new perspective that I need to embrace. I have been hemming and hawing over decisions about paint color and rugs. And while it is good to make an informed decision, I believe that I've crossed the line on over zealous a few times.

I feel empowered to pick up a paint brush, put a few new holes in the wall and go for it. Since one of my New Years Resolutions was to learn more about design, I think this sage advise will help me start doing and learning rather than reading and thinking.

I love how there's kids in every picture. It just makes the space feel liveable and cosy!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! I'm working with a clean slate at the moment and couldn't make a single decision because I was afraid of making a mistake! But now I think I've got the inspiration :)
Everything looks so clean and simple (in a good way) and flippin' cozy. :) Awesome. Plus, my theory is that with most things, you can undo what you do if it's not up to snuff. Good luck.
love all of these pics! so lived-in and comfy feeling...
