It's all in the details.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Seriously.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No, really...details really matter. And this detail here is a switch plate cover that made all the difference. You could ask your paper hanger to wrap and cover your switch plates, or do it yourself. Either way, it's the smallest detail that makes ALL the difference.⁠⁠

Laundry...⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Thankfully, during the pan

Laundry...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Thankfully, during the pandemic we made a couple of changes to our laundry life. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
First, inspired by our friend Corinne @Gridandglam we now do laundry on a schedule (Tuesday, Thursdays and Sundays...best life hack we've created!) thanks to her life changing, house organization membership program!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Second, we made some BIG changes to our basement, where our laundry is located. See, when we moved into the house, we had a "finished" basement...well, until it flooded. Then we had to rip it all out, and dig up concrete to add in a new french drain, sump pumps...you name it! Needless to say, we put it on the back burner and closed our eyes anytime we needed to go down there.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Well, since the design hubby needed a spot to work, and our laundry needed to considered, we got to work last summer. Walls were added, zones were created, and lots of white paint later, we have a clean and much brighter (and more pleasant) spot to do our laundry. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Now, time to clean up the wires, add some better lighting and paint the ceiling to really complete the space. Anyone else have a dark dungeon? We suggest you brighten it up! #thatsimpeccable

It’s that time in summer where we aren’t reall

It’s that time in summer where we aren’t really doing any projects right now, but taking a moment to enjoy what we have and what we’ve done. ⁠
⁠
August is a month we love to hang onto. It usually has the best weather, kids aren’t in school yet, and it’s the perfect time to take stock of what we have and what we’ve done. ⁠
⁠
Between living through the pandemic, gearing up to what happens this fall, moving or not moving (we have decided to stay out for now, and met with our architect!), it’s so nice to appreciate this cozy spot. ⁠
⁠
This room is hard to capture in a photograph, it’s kind of dark, but full of our favorite things. Beautiful art books collected by Kim’s mother (my grandmother), marble grapes, and and a lovely view of the carriage house. All of this to say, take time to enjoy where you are today. #thatsimpeccable

Good morning!!! And welcome!⁠
⁠
It’s been a while since we’ve taken a moment to introduce ourselves. We are Emma and Kim, your impeccable nest team. A mother-daughter interior design duo based in New Hampshire. ⁠
⁠
You’ll normally hear one of us on our stories in the morning, taking you on a morning walk with our coffee around our home. We LOVE our home. It’s so special and makes us so happy. We bought this place 3 years ago, and love everything about it. We’ve worked hard to bring her back to life, and share all of our projects with you here. ⁠
⁠
We are so happy you’re here on this journey with us, and love sharing design advice and little ways to make your home an Impeccable Nest too. ⁠
Plus, you can hire us. 😉. We have clients all over the US. #thatsimpeccable

This is a view from the kitchen looking into the living room that never fails to delight. So much to enjoy and take in. From the dramatic busts on the piano, bold strokes of color in the artwork and the glimmer from the antique chandelier…it all excites the eye and yet feels so naturally at home. ⁠
⁠
Do you think the bananas feel the same way? ⁠

Here’s to being “real” and not “perfect.” ⁠
⁠
We have been called out for having a lot of energy…and some requesting that we bottle it up and sell it. 😆 but here’s the truth, we can get lazy too. ⁠
⁠
There are a lot of stairs to go up and down in this house, and we hate going down to the basement. We probably have to go up and down these stairs around 20 times a day. The garage and cars are there. Laundry area is down there (a total bummer, but hey, you can’t get everything on the wish list!), and the trash goes down there too. ⁠
⁠
So, you’ll find that as the day goes on, we will throw things down the stairs. Like cardboard boxes. Or laundry. So here’s to showing you a little more behind the scenes on how we really live. ⁠
⁠
But, doesn’t it look good down there? We love seeing our favorite faces every time we open the basement door. #thatsimpeccable ⁠
⁠
*and don’t worry we clean it up at the end of the night…we can’t totally let it slide 😆

Where do you shop? Why do you go thrifting?⁠
⁠
We get asked questions like these (and more) all the time. And thé answer varies. We will shop anywhere and everywhere, but our favorite thing to do is shop vintage. ⁠
⁠
Especially right now. ⁠
⁠
We don’t want our rooms to look too new, and we also don’t want yo wait too long for an item to be shipped (we might be a little Goldilocks!), which is one of the reasons why you’ll find us thrifting most weekends. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes we come up empty, and other times we find a bounty! And when we moved into this house we needed a lot of furniture, specifically some oversized pieces which we found during our many outings, like this sofa. ⁠
⁠
And now we are getting ready to give this sofa a face lift this fall. That’s the beauty of finding a beautiful piece, you can customize it and make it your own one of a kind. Stay tuned for more, but until then we get asked one more question…⁠
⁠
Can we go shopping with you? The answer is yes. Let’s set up another date to go thrifting with us. Are you in? #thatsimpeccable

Sometimes we even amaze ourselves. Like many of yo

Sometimes we even amaze ourselves. Like many of you, we think about even worry about doing things in our home that might not meet with « what everyone else is doing » and we limit ourselves with a home or something we don’t really want or don’t try something we have really wanted to do.

Well, it feels pretty damn good when we listen to ourselves. Painted wood floors are always something we admire and love yet they create such fear even controversy out there. If you ask, you will get so many responses on this subject…so bringing it up isn’t for the faint of heart. You could get your feelings hurt. And while we like to believe we aren’t ones to care what other people think…that’s not all together true.

So, if you don’t like our painted floors, that’s ok, just don’t tell us. We only want to hear from the cheering section of our audience because we are ecstatic with them and it will still crush us if you don’t too.
