Guest of the Nest: Mary Ann of Classic Casual Home
This month, we’re thrilled to introduce our Guest of the Nest, the incredibly talented Mary Ann from Classic Casual Home. You might recognize her name from her popular blog or features in renowned publications like Better Homes & Gardens!
Where to Find Mary Ann:
Mary Ann’s signature style effortlessly blends timeless traditional pieces with fresh, contemporary touches. Her use of beautiful fabrics and bright, white spaces is simply stunning. One of her most memorable projects is her former home in Newport Beach, California, where every corner exuded charm and elegance.
Recently, Mary Ann and her husband made the move to San Francisco, and she’s been busy infusing her new home with her signature style. This month, she shared a gorgeous dining room refresh that we know you’ll love. Don’t miss the chance to see how she works her magic in her latest space!
Thank you, Mary Ann, for being part of Best of the Nest this month. We’re so excited to have you here!
Highlights From the Hosts
Before diving into this month’s link-up party, let’s take a moment to showcase the best projects from the rest of our nests. (Try saying that three times fast!)
You can follow me on:
This month, I’ve been knee-deep in a client’s living room refresh as part of the One Room Challenge. One of my favorite aspects of working with clients is giving new life to old or forgotten pieces especially those tucked away in attics or destined for the trash. It’s so rewarding to transform unloved items into statement pieces that bring personality and warmth to a space!
