Week 2: On FIRE!

Hey Nesters!  I have been galavanting around town working on my latest chair {yet to be named} here, there and everywhere! And boy do I have a LOT to show you!  First, I busted out the orbital sander to shred the finish off the wood.

Merry Christmas from Temporary Nest!

I just wanted to take a moment on this Christmas Eve to thank each and every one of you for your readership and kind words.  Your constant source of of inspiration and motivation keep me doing projects and writing this blog every day. So without further adieu: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

But that's not all!! I have eye candy for you all.  But this time, it's pretty and its actually candy...

Two Hundred.

Two Hundred. 

This post is number 200.  Whoa.  That's a lot of posts for a newbie like me.  I've been at this blog for 8 months and I'm so happy to be here and have you all reading it. I hope that at some point or another you have been inspired and learned something from this blog. If you haven't then hopefully you will in a future post. But enough jibber-jabber, let's get on to the goods. 

Holiday Inspiration

Welcome back, Nesters!  Sorry I've been MIA but as I mentioned here, Matt and I spent a long weekend in NYC with the Pops, my brother and his lovely wife, and my nephew-in-the-making. We had an awesome time walking around the city, but most importantly cooking, eating and laughing to celebrate an early Thanksgiving.  While on the road, I lifted my holiday spirits by listening to every Christmas song I could tune into.  Needless to say, I am so excited for Christmas. 

No really: So. Excited.

Fall Inspiration

The air has become crisp in the last week or two here in New England.  You can start seeing just a hint of leaves changing colors.  You may recognize this image of Boston Common in Autumn...

I've been so mesmerized by the colors so I thought I'd share with you some rooms that give me the feeling of fall, coziness and tranquility.
