We Are Those Neighbors (And We’re Not Sorry About It!)

Raise your hand if you’re the neighbor who slows down to admire a beautifully landscaped yard or gets a little too excited when a “For Sale” sign pops up in the neighborhood.

🙋‍♀️ Guilty.

Whenever my husband and I see a home listed nearby, you can almost guarantee we’ll be walking through the next open house. Partly because we love beautiful homes…but mostly because we’re endlessly curious about how people live, design, and make a house their own.

This weekend, we toured a home just down the street. While we were there, we struck up a conversation with the listing agent. As we chatted, I mentioned that I’m the owner and lead designer at Nest with the Nelsons Interior Design Studio.

Her response stopped me in my tracks.

She smiled and said something along the lines of:

“Homeowners are looking for interior designers who feel … real.”

Not intimidating.

Not unapproachable.

Not someone who makes them feel like they have to apologize for toys in the living room, laundry on the sofa, or a kitchen that actually gets cooked in.

They want someone they feel comfortable inviting into their home.

Honestly? That conversation was exactly the reminder I needed.

Because that’s the entire reason Nest with the Nelsons exists.

We didn’t start this business to create magazine-perfect homes that no one actually lives in. We started it because we believe great interior design should make real life feel more beautiful, more functional, and a whole lot less stressful.

Whether your home is worth $300,000 or $3 million, our goal is exactly the same:

To help you create a home that feels authentically you.

A home where kids build forts in the family room.

Where friends gather around the kitchen island.

Holidays become traditions.

And, you finally walk through the front door and think …

“I absolutely love living here.”

Because here’s the truth:

Almost every homeowner has that running list in the back of their mind.

  • The empty wall you’ve been meaning to decorate.
  • The living room that never quite feels finished.
  • The outdated kitchen you’ve pinned hundreds of ideas for.
  • The primary bedroom that somehow became everyone’s laundry folding station.
  • The room you’ve wanted to update…for years.

The hardest part usually isn’t the project itself.

It’s knowing where to begin.

That’s where we come in.

At Nest with the Nelsons, we help homeowners throughout Omaha, Lincoln, and the surrounding Nebraska communities create homes that are beautiful, functional, and designed for real life. Whether you’re refreshing one room or planning a whole-home transformation, we’ll help you develop a plan, avoid costly mistakes, and confidently move your project forward.
