About the Company:
With the desire to form a more down-to-earth design firm that creates thoughtful design solutions that meet the emotional and practical needs of my clients, I opened Glamour Nest in June of 2009.
Creating the perfect space is more than just about finding “pretty things.” It’s about mixing function with style to create a space that supports your lifestyle, reflects your personality, and makes you feel good! This approach to design not only makes your eyes happy but it makes living like you easier!
From large-scale remodels to a quick spruce-up, Glamour Nest is happy to help.
About Moi:
I would love to say that my passion for design started as a young girl growing up in a beautiful house filled with priceless art, antiques, and furniture. I would love even more to say that my tastes were further refined by jet-setting around the globe, experiencing the beautiful cities of Paris, London, and Rome. Alas, the truth of the matter is I grew up extremely poor – “my sweet young mother cooking on a hot plate" poor. Needless to say, my love of design grew from a very personal desire and need for a home.
My first “home” was my parents’ window tinting shop – cinderblock walls and fluorescent lights being the height of aesthetic choice. Although my mother's love, strength, and creativity did make up for the lack of amenities. When my parents had residential jobs, I would tag along to tint these beautiful homes in affluent cities, like Colleyville and Southlake TX. These houses didn’t just say “money” to me; they said safety, love, and comfort. I loved imagining that these homes were mine….
Finally, when I was in the 4th grade my parents were able to purchase our first real home – and they let me choose everything for my very own room! I carefully chose white Bassett furniture with dentil detailing and gold accents, and a beautiful canopy bed. To complete the room, I opted for light blue walls with pink stenciled roses and a vintage brass vanity. Yes, my friends, I was the envy of every little girl.
Good design has the power to change how you feel. As a little girl, that bedroom made me feel beautiful. Every time I slept under that canopy bed I felt worthy, loved, and like anything was possible.
As I grew older, my love of the home extended into a passion for design and how it not only enhances your space – but your life. Creating beauty has value and this is what Glamour Nest is all about!
