Product Description

Home decorating guru Mary Carol Garrity compares her techniques for transforming her own 130-year-old Greek revival fixer-upper to that of a bird building its nest—carefully selecting and layering all components twig by twig. In Nell Hill's Feather Your Nest: It's All in the Details each chapter focuses on nest-building basics for different areas of the home, from common spaces like foyers to private spaces like bedrooms. Garrity empowers readers to feather their own nests by developing a sense of personal style, emphasizing minor touches that make a major difference.

·The Wall Street Journal has hailed Garrity as a "one-person economic-development force" in her hometown of Atchison, Kans. Garrity's stores have become landmarks in the decorating world. The Mary Carol Home Collection, an extensive line of home décor products is distributed nationwide by the Gerson Companies.

·Garrity's three previous books have received coverage from CBS's The Early Show and NBC's Today show, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and more.

Customer Reviews

This is a wonderful book!
I bought this book for myself, fell in love with it and got one for
my best friend for her birthday, then she fell in love with it too!
It has great staging ideas that will really inspire you to layer
your home for a wonderful look! I do home staging and store display and the author does a great job showing the novice how to do both! I would recommend this book to everyone who needs fresh ideas for decorating!

Beautiful Ideas
I love all of the Nell Hill books because Garrity shows how to reuse what you have in decorating. There are many other books on the same topic but if you look through her books you can see and learn. The photos are inspiring. I can roam through my house and move my loved possessions around and feel like I have redecorated without the "heavy lifting" of painting and furniture arrangement. Feather Your Nest is another great installment.

Nell Hill's Feather Your Nest: It's All in the Details
If you like lots of "stuff" around you, you'll love this book. I found myself running around the house trying new ideas I read about/saw in "Feather Your Nest"....as I read! If you're a big collector and want it displayed/around you, (I love the "warm" feeling it gives me!), you can really utilize the ideas shown here. By the way, try to visit Nell Hill's in Atchison, Kansas..... like visiting these beautiful books all over again.
