Putting together Nest

I like finding birds' nests. It's amazing to me how nests are tightly woven with twigs, bits of string, each nest different, representative of its builder, most strong enough to survive even a long fall from the tree onto hard ground. Sometimes nests of ordinary, local, easy-to-find twigs are interlaced with a shiny piece of ribbon or a silky bit of floss. We make our homes in similar ways, putting together bits and pieces that we find useful and pretty, creating our places of refuge.

I have a bunch of ideas on how to create our own home-nests--probably none wildly original or innovative. But I like to think about interior design, weave together some ideas, sometimes add a bit of shiny ribbon. I enjoy sharing my ideas and fun things I've discovered. I'm trying to make my interest in interior design into a career.

I plan on posting my thoughts, theories, pet peeves, and favorites regarding interior design. I'll journal my job search. I'll probably tell you about my walks with my dog--generally that's when I do my best thinking. Let's see how it all goes. Maybe we'll find some good twings and string and silky floss along the walk.
