{welcome to the kidd nest}

{{welcome to our nest}}

brad and i live in a one bedroom apartment, a block from the oregon state campus. we love where we live. we are looking forward to one day settling into a cozy home, but for now, we have to make our white walled apartment feel like a warm and welcoming home.

i love being creative. i love having an apartment where i can decorate and give it a unique touch. i'm hoping to next summer have my own saturday market booth in corvallis, where i can sell unique goods to fill your nest with. i have lots of ideas, but i'm not exactly sure what will be sold in my booth {much trial and error} some of my ideas are in my apartment.

{{{this is our nest}}}

homemade burlap, lace, and patterned pillows.


great find: vintage suitcase from an antique shop.

birch candle holders: made by my husband.

stump vase: made by my husband.
vintage oswald chambers books---found in a discount bin at a christian bookstore {$1 per book}


"happily ever after" spoon.



homemade alphabet magnets.



homemade initials on canvases.

homemade "love birds" canvas.


hope you enjoyed your visit :]

  1. oh my gosh molly! it looks fabulous! isn't it so fun to make up your own little place just perfect for you and your husband?! I know I've loved it! You've done a great job and I think you'd be able to sell bunches if you set up your own booth at the market!
