Just leave your nest a mess and when you arrive in the evening pour a glass of wine before cleaning up and making dinner and getting everything by the door for the next day. I can't win in the morning no matter how early I get up so I stopped stressing about the morning clean up. Happy Nesting.

The transformation is incredible--kudos to your vision and to a sustainable lifestyle. If only we could all stop with the lawns especially in dry parts of the world. (so much more interesting!) Happy Nesting.

Would have loved to be a child growing up in this opportunistic laboratory. How imaginative I would have been! And that record player how fun! The endless dance parties...enjoy your nest!

Incredible use of space. I especially love the eastern furniture even door ways infused with the clean lines of modern items--living with the past! And those pictures--I remember visiting the Traveling Museum when it was on The Santa Monica pier in 2005 and purchasing one. Unfortunately with my many moves since I have regretfully lost my precious elephant photograph. It's stunning in the space and just as memorable as the first time I laid eyes on it.

This is a great idea that I will have to try. I am particular about keeping a tidy nest, however, the bed is always a mess. Even when I attempt to straighten it out and fluff up the pillows my dynamic duo always gravitate to my bed and annihilate it again, I always surrender to it and make peace with the rest of the place.

We have an uninvited fury guest that takes bites out of all the tomatoes even the green ones. If I can enjoy just one, I would be a happy camper. Do I cross the ethical vegetarian line and take action with my fury friend to feed my family? I'm also wondering why I am irrigating for these creature...it settled, I am taking action to preserve my tomatoes for my family.

Your passion shows in your work. Congrats! Have you collaborated with your daughter yet on a design--I bet it would be marketable. I am amazed at what my little ones design, of course I think it should all be in the MOMA.
Happy Nesting!

Love the Novogratzes--miss you on HGTV. I can't bare to watch house hunters--it seems like it has taken over. Looking forward to seeing more designing and less of the irritating house searches, so I will have to give HGTV another shot.

Incredible and inspiring! Can it endure Mother Nature and her elements? I need a bike too, mine was stolen over 20 years ago and I have yet to buy a new one.
