As Mum is now spending less and less time with us down here in Auckland, preferring the wilds of her own, brand new house, literally right on the Kaipara Harbour, her room here has become slightly ‘lacking’ in…….everything lol. It’s quite hidden from visitors and is totally self-contained with its own office and ensuite, so it’s been easy to ignore …
It’s Spotlight National Craft Month and people all over New Zealand have been getting creative with help from the crafting experts at Spotlight stores around the country. I was super happy to work with Spotlight again and finally cross a project off my ever increasing, crafty wish-list! http://www.thebestnest.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/feather-juju-hat-1.jpg Juju hats have been hot, hot hot in interiors over the past …
Oh my lord it’s HOT! Seriously, these temps in December are crazy, but crazy good for sure. Being able to throw open the bedroom windows and freshen things up is so therapeutic for me. Both of the boy’s rooms have had a big spring clean that included purchasing fresh, new linen for their beds. Over the weekend, I finally had …
Dave and I have recently realised that our home-owners enthusiasm for pfaffing, improvements and once effervescent tszuj-ing has pretty much plateaued into nothingness. A visit last week from Jade Turner, Lead Designer at The Warehouse, got me totally pumped about homewares again and showed me how little, inexpensive touches can make a big difference. This season, think matte black, mixing organic …
This post is sponsored by Johnson’s Baby, all copy and opinions expressed within are my own. For an expectant parent, the 9 months prior to the arrival of a new baby is one filled with choices. To find out the gender of your most awaited delivery…….or not, to paint the nursery this colour………or that, this name, that name, hospital or …
In hindsight it was a totally ‘oddball’ purchase, but the first animated/family DVD we purchased when Dave and I found out we were pregnant 12.5 years ago was Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas – how can that movie have come out in 1993?! Anyway, I freaking LOVE this movie, it’s a stop-motion masterpiece and thank goodness it’s on Netflix …
When I signed on to throw some Best Nest styling at a gorgeous lounge in a Golden Homes showhome, I truly floundered for a little bit. What on earth was I going to bring to a professionally styled and curated room that had been designed to make people fall in love with a house? I had no clue. Golden Homes …
The words ‘luxe’ and ‘organic cotton’ seem like a bit of a juxtaposition in general but in the case of these gorgeous sheets from Babu they are totally synonymous. Nix is still waking quite often at night, climbing into our bed and then commandeering the lion’s share of our king-sized bed. I never, ever imagined that I would wish we …
Our back door opens to a flat concrete patio complete with roof, the perfect spot to enclose for winter play with the addition of two sides of roll-up PVC blinds. I can see it now…… That’s on the wish list. A very rainy first weekend of the school holidays was a sign – it was time for action. With no …

Add some style and whimsy to your Easter baskets this season with Auckland designer Catherine Melo’s ‘Burrowers’ collection from Burrow & Be.
