An adorable home decor and accessories store with a good cause

I was introduced to Nest a few weeks ago, and I finally got around to checking it out. Besides their products, the best thing about Nest is their mission:

"Nest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the lives of women in developing countries. The mission of Nest is to support women artists and artisans in the developing world by helping them create sustainable entrepreneurial businesses. To do this, Nest provides micro-credit loans to be used for the purchase of the supplies and materials necessary to begin and/or maintain art or craft-based businesses."


I look forward to seeing what they have in the future as the companies grow! They also have a lot of cool, indie products by domestic designers.




Beautiful serving bowls from Mexico. The salsa bowls at the top were also featured in Domino.

Sweet little tea light holders






African baskets are always stunning

Pretty little tea towels.

Art for baby
I *LOVE* this bracelet. My sisters' pet name for me has always been Heart, so it's fitting. :)

A gorgeous cuff bracelet.

They also carry a lot of really pretty stationary

I always use handmade soaps - they are much nicer for your skin and last a really long time. Nest has a huge selection.

Beautiful Carpeted Rooms!

Carpeted rooms aren't normally featured here on Decorology, as I tend to have a penchant for hardwood floors. However - the folks at Fun on the Floor have lots of pretty and inspirational home carpet ideas. I could see why one would want carpeting in a bedroom, den, or child's playroom, and it looks like they have a lot of modern and chic options. Their photos are really gorgeous too, which scores major points with me! How about you guys? Do you have carpeting around your home?



Love the high white ceilings!






...what a great rug pattern










*love love love* this living room

Image tribute to Domino - great living rooms

Trust me fellow Domino mourners, there are many more tributes to come! I will be scouring the site thoroughly before they take it down. *tear* Today's tribute is to living rooms.


I like it when open floor plans use furniture (like these couches back-to-back), in place of walls

It's the color on this wall that gets me...gorgeous

I couldn't live with this wallpaper, but a lovely room



jewel tones aren't going anywhere my friends!

Not cozy enough for me, but the colors are dreamy!

A lovely vintage living room of Domino reader contest winner Lara Rossignol

Rashida Jones's instant hit of a living room.

One of the many before and afters Domino graced us with! I love how serene the room turned out - the perfect place to relax after work.
