The Nest Home Design Handbook


Hi everyone! Hope all you fellow Aussies had an enjoyable Australia Day yesterday. After an early morning walk, ours was spent mostly pottering around the house and ended with a quiet barbecue for tea.

Today I thought I'd share with you the book in the photo above which I am reading at the moment. This one is another loan from my local library and it is packed with gorgeous images of interiors along with decorating principles and ideas to help you in creating stylish and comfortable living spaces in your own home. Carly Roney, the author of this book, is also the editor in chief of the website TheNest.com which you can check out here. Below is a lovely office space from the book...

  2. Hi Amanda:) That looks like a gorgeous book. I love the home office it seems really peaceful (must be the white I guess). I would love a home office like that, especially as Uni starts again next week and my office is the couch :( Thanks for sharing the book and also for the links, I am off to check them both out:) Have a lovely evening - T xx

    The next book and website look really interesting. I reckon I could spend quite a bit of time there and get some good ideas.
    Hope the rest of your week is great! :)
