The Nesting Place

It Doesn't Have to Be Perfect to Be Beautiful

About this book

Create the home--and life--you've always wanted with the help of popular blogger and author of Cozy Minimalist Home Myquillyn Smith (The Nester) as she helps you free yourself to take risks and find beauty in imperfection.

Myquillyn Smith is all about embracing reality--especially when it comes to decorating a home bursting with kids, pets, and all the unpredictable messes of life. In The Nesting Place, Myquillyn shares the secrets of decorating for real people--and it has nothing to do with creating a flawless look to wow your guests and everything to do with making peace with the natural imperfection and joy of daily living.

Drawing on her years of experience creating beauty in her 13 different homes and countless seasons of life, Myquillyn will show you how to think differently about the true purpose of your home, and simply and creatively tailor it to reflect you and your unique style--without breaking the bank.

Full of simple steps, practical advice, and beautiful, full-color photos, The Nesting Place gives you the tools you need to:

  • Cultivate a home that works for you and your family
  • Transform your home into a place that's inviting and warm for family and friends
  • Discover your own personal style

There is beauty in embracing the lived-in, loved-on, and just-about-used-up aspects of our homes and our daily lives--let Myquillyn show you how.

Praise for The Nesting Place:

"This book made me look at every room in my house differently, with a new lens of creativity and beauty and possibility. It inspired me to reclaim my home as sacred space, ripe with opportunities to celebrate and create memories and moments."

--Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of Present Over Perfect and I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet

"This highly personal account about embracing imperfection and finding contentment in your home is like sitting down with a good friend and talking about the stuff that really matters. The Nesting Place is full of approachable ideas, encouragement, and a whole lot of heart."

--Sherry Petersik, home blogger; bestselling author of Young House Love
