Its Jess B here. While Jess has been busy with her new house, I have been consumed with my own house renovation. I had good intentions of writing along with the progress but I'm way behind in posts as life, work, kids... got in the way. Excuses aside, I thought it would be helpful to write a series of articles on the house decisions that really kept me up at night.First on my list was choosing...

2014 was a great press year for Nest Studio. Aside from having our house shot for the Apartment Therapy Book and having my client's work featured on several blogs, our hardware was showcased in a bunch of places as well. From Architectural Digest Online to Domaine Home and AT: Maxwell's Daily Find, we received a good amount of screen time in 2014. We hope to launch a bigger press effort this year...

Its Jessica Burne here. I’ m so excited to be part of the Nest Studio team. In the spirt of the New Year, I thought it would be fun to show you my “new” DIY kitchen.
When we first moved into our house ten years ago we immediately updated the appliances and countertops, but there just wasn’t room in our budget for new cabinetry. So we were stuck with 80’s golden (technically orange) oak cabinets...

Back at the beginning of the year (well, actually, a couple months into the year) I posted about my business new years resolutions. The primary resolution I had was to delegate. With a baby on the way and an expanding business I knew there was no way for me to continue going it alone while keeping my head above water. At the time of writing the post I had just hired a contract employee to help me...

I promise to show you guys some new hardware concepts soon - just trying to get prototyping done and not reveal so much that someone comes an rips me off before I can get things in production. In the meantime though, inspiration abounds and I can come up with designs faster than I can get anything prototyped. So here are some things that have caught my eye lately:
