Layering is one of the easiest design techniques to copy. I find that lots of times we forget that we can put pretty stuff in front of other pretty stuff and it just enhances all of our favorite stuff.

I’m pretty sure that layering is my favorite method to work as many of my favorite things as I can into a room. I LOVE to layer!


To me layers create a cozy feeling.


You can use your much loved dishes and books and lamps and photos and art all in one place.


If you are renting, layering is a fast way to add texture and a focal point to a big empty wall.

And of course, you are never committed to one look.


Pillows can be layered.


Have you layered lately?

PS, the Yard Sale is starting at 8am NOT 7am like I told some of you. It is DARK at 7–let’s wait until 8!

And again, to get my address you have to PROVE you are a real person who is normal. I am as serious as a heart attack. Giving me the school you went to here does not prove you are real. Hate me. I would just publish my address here if I could totally trust the world. IF some mean person WAS out there reading this they would make up a nice girls name and put a bible verse at the end of their email and try to get my address. I need proof people–facebook friend me {I hate to have so many rules, but DO NOT email me and ask me to search for you and friend you, FRIEND ME, Nester Smith please–thank you so much!!!}, invite me to your flickr acct, link to your blog… thank you so much for putting up with me!
