Dear friends, I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Our gathering was a cozy group of 23, filled with delicious food, laughter, and cherished moments. But if you ask my family what they were most thankful for, they’d probably say it was the fact that I completely lost my voice—meaning they were spared my annual tradition of making everyone go around the room and share what they’re grateful for. They claim to love that little ritual of mine… but I have my doubts! 😊
Now that the holiday feasting is behind us, it’s time to showcase all the incredible projects, updates, and creative endeavors from November! It’s always inspiring to see the best from my nest, as well as the fabulous work from Kris, Jennifer, and Pam. As always, if you’re pinning, please do so from the original sources to give proper credit to these talented creators.
Small Tweaks, Big Impact
Sometimes, it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference in a space. For over a year, I hunted for the perfect vanity table to fit my narrow space, with no luck. Then it hit me—why not rethink a simple piece I already loved? Enter the IKEA Vittsjo laptop desk! Its sleek, modern lines and open shelving turned out to be exactly what I needed. Plus, the added shelf makes a perfect spot for organizing my jewelry. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner! Curious to see how it turned out? Check out my new vanity setup here.
November Highlights from the Best of the Nest Crew
Jennifer’s Thanksgiving Tablescape
Jennifer at Dimples & Tangles wowed us with her stunning and joyful Thanksgiving tablescape. Seriously—her home is pure happiness, and I can’t imagine anyone being in a bad mood while sitting at her beautifully decorated table! Her festive, colorful style brings so much life to the holiday season. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a peek—you’ll be inspired to step up your table-setting game.

Pam’s Craigslist Bedroom Makeover
Pam from Simple Details tackled the One Room Challenge again this month, and her transformation of a Craigslist find into a fully reimagined space is nothing short of spectacular! She turned a dining room hutch (yes, you read that right—a hutch) into a fabulous, functional TV cabinet. It’s a must-see before-and-after! If you love a great furniture makeover, you don’t want to miss this one.

Kris’s Stunning Bathroom Remodel
Kris from Driven by Décor also participated in the One Room Challenge, and her bathroom remodel is nothing short of amazing. I’m completely obsessed with her Chelsea Gray stenciled walls—so much so that I’ve already recommended them to three different clients and friends looking for fresh bathroom design ideas! The mix of classic elegance and modern charm in her space is absolutely breathtaking.
