SNEAK PEAK
Words, Words, Words
The design blogs are currently obsessed with this Keep Calm and Carry On print, and I concur. These simple words carry something serene and relaxing. Fliers donned this message and were posted throughout England during World War II. This homage to the encouraging, soothing statement is warm and welcome in this modern day.
I would love to wake up to this Wake Up and Smell the Coffee print. Second only to the comforting aroma of fresh coffee beans percolating in the kitchen.
As the only member of my whole family who lives outside of Washington, D.C. or Alexandria, VA, this Make Your Own Path print is comforting and reassuring. Hand letter-pressed by Doug Wilson on a vintage map from his own collection. Truly one-of-a-kind and unique.
My mom was right. Doug Wilson expresses the same sentiment with this hand-pressed print.
All of these and more can be found in the Keep Calm Gallery.
Brooklyn4Lyf
I first saw this idea on Three Potato Four, but the blocks were sold out. So I found some vintage alphabet blocks on Etsy in Magpie Mary's shop.
I just went back to Three Potato Four, and the blocks must have gone over well, because there are several more sets for sale now. I totally did the Brooklyn 4 Lyf this morning over coffee with my boo, and just saw the couple who has the shop added their own version.

ABC Love
I adore this ABC Love Poster by Made by Girl. I love the look of the alphabet, in different types on your walls. 
Last year we found the chocolate brown mod alphabet print in a vintage shop.
Tuesday on Threadbanger
My new DIY Home show will air this Tuesday, MARCH 4th, on Threadbanger.com. Get your power drills and measuring tape ready, because we are going to rad your pad, DIY-style.

Warhol Love
Andy Warhol is a huge source of inspiration and adoration for me. 
Warhol was one of the first modern artists I got really into as a kid. I had his 'Are You Different' print from a calendar in elementary school. I ripped that black and white piece out and it has hung in every bedroom of mine since the 6th grade.
I am fascinated by his work, style, life, and this little gem, Love, Love, Love.
Filled with illustrations and verses, I get something completely different every time I pick it up.
Andy Warhol said some pretty prophetic lines in his day, but perhaps his best quote is simply...
"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own."

Nice, Deer
LOVE and LOVE again this Deer and Deer Again print from Nice. So serene and lovely, it would be a perfect fit in our living room.

DIY Decor Show
Well, the time has come, my friends. March will be HOME RE-FASHION month over at Threadbanger, and I will produce and hostess at least a month of DIY Decor shows!
Continuing Nest's idea that style starts at home, our weekly show will help you rad your pad and make your house a home.
We will have inspiring DIY projects, easy step-by-step lessons, and will provide quick home upgrades and helpful decor tips.
Rob and Corinne of Threadbanger are the experts on DIY fashion. They came to Brooklyn last year to interview me on Enderby. It was then that they discovered Nest, and asked me to be the expert on DIY HOME.
Ever since, we have been brain-storming, conceptualizing and developing our very own DIY HOME show. 
I will be sure keep you informed on the air date (March 3rd or 4th), link and how to send in videos of YOUR DIY projects. Get started filming any nesting questions you have, or DIY decor you have created, and send it in to the show. The most unique projects will be featured on the Threadbanger blog and right here on Nest. ALSO, the nesters with the coolest DIY projects will receive free gifts, prizes and 1 lucky DIY-er will get a home detox kit from Method.
We want to see if there is a DIY Decor community out there interested in a weekly DIY home podcast. 
If this is something you would be interested in, spread the word, send in questions, comments and footage, and I will do my best to keep 'em coming!
