Design around loved pieces to bring meaning.

Meet CARRIE

Hi! Design runs in my blood, my parents have been buying homes and fixing them up for as long as I can remember. Just when we’d finish one home, we would move on to the next – loving the challenge and the new possibilities each home presented.

Fast-forward a few years; add in one loving husband, a few kids as well as the constant desire to create a happy nest wherever the Air Force has sent us and now you can use my experiences to help with your own nest!

“Ah! There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.”

Best Little Nest was born out of a love for design. But it has grown to be about my genuine love of helping others create lovely, personal spaces that they are proud to call home. I design around your loved pieces that have meaning, while layering in new, fun pieces to create a home that is 100% YOURS!
