The week is finally here. Not just any week, but THE week of the Professional Remodeling Organization (PRO) Home Tour has arrived. We are beyond excited to have two homes on the tour this year. One of the homes is in the Reserve, where we did some styling and design selections sprinkled throughout. In the other Rockbrook home, we were deeply involved in all the major decisions from floor to ceiling to revitalize and refresh this stunning home.

So, this is your personal invitation to attend the PRO Home Tour coming up this Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21 from 11 AM to 4 PM. The homes we refreshed are #8 (in The Reserve) and #13 (in Rockbrook). We would love for you to join us for this fun, and totally free event!

Refresh + Refine this Spring
By: Megan Nelson, Owner + Designer, Nest with the Nelsons

With spring fully upon us, and Easter candy now freely flowing, this time of year always brings a new sense of refresh and refinement. With April showers, and greener, flower-filled outdoors ahead, this is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home interior, as well. A fresh coat of paint, new furniture pieces, updated lighting, and some new decor can make transform your space into the revitalized retreat you’ve been dreaming of.

With the new season, organize those home Pinterest boards, declutter as you see fit, and fully embrace the beauty abounding with a new, beautiful view from your home. Kick things in gear, with a free consult from yours truly. I’d love to chat through home updates, a minor refresh, or a major renovation. Now is the time. Cheers to spring!
