Beyond Grateful for YOU

Beyond Grateful for YOU
By: Megan Nelson, Designer + Founder, Nest with the Nelsons

As I sit on my couch intently writing this blog today, I am reminded of the not so distant past of this idea of starting a design business. And at that point that’s all it was – merely an idea. A glimmer in my eye that I so badly wanted to achieve. Now, just over two years into the fast-paced and exciting world of design, I am thankful. Thankful to all of our wonderful clients. You know who you are – you are kind, fun, creative, and just a joy to work with. To our followers on social media – THANK YOU for your help, and your encouragement online. And to YOU – our wonderful email subscribers. I so enjoy crafting these blog posts each week focused on all-things home, and I hope you do, too.
