Tea & Toast :: Style No# 2: Modern Nesters

 

This week’s Tea & Toast takes on a Modern Nest journey as Style No# 2 of our Style series. For those of you who missed last week’s  Tea & Toast go here and check out the style quiz. Leave me a comment and share with us what style of nester you are. Then come back and enjoy some modern nesting vignettes. 

So what does a modern nest look like? Well, that is a kind of tricky thing to narrow right down. Modern has quite a few slants these days. I should really have had an ‘eco’ style option because it is a style in it’s own right but for this little series I’m blending eco and modern together because eco is hot right now in the feathering and nesting business, and so it should be. I love this look! It fits all the bills of modern – streamlined, chic, minimalist, clean but it adds a little more warmth and heart compared to other ultra modern looks. There’ll be a bit of both types of modern on our Tea & Toast journey today. I hope it covers every one of your modern nesting needs.

For you, the Mostly B’ers. Enjoy!

The next scenes are more relaxed modern with hints of ‘eco’. More my style of modern, I have to say. They bring warmth and heart to the often stark, cold feel of the ultra modern look. A nest has to have heart, don’t you think?

There you go. Modern Nests.

What did you you think? Even if you’re not a modern nester, could you use some of these ideas in your nest?

Next week’s Tea & Toast is for the mostly C’ers :: Rustic, Earthy Nesters. I can’t wait.

 

Happy Tuesday!

No, this look doesn't really appeal to me, though my hubby would LOVE it! I do love the door in the fourth picture though.

I just did last weeks quiz as I missed it. I have to say there are elements of all those styles that I love. Todays one is probably my least favourite. Too designery and commercial.
For me, I think the location of a house and the style of the building can sort of dictate the decorating style that goes within. Having said that, I think ones' own creation truly makes a home. Looking forward to next weeks style. Leahx

Love! Modern, neutral colours, black and white, minimalism is all me! But how to do that and make it child-friendly? Currently sticking with rainbow colours for the kids' bedrooms, neutrals for the house. A happy medium? xx

I think I am going to enjoy exploring on your blog Kim. Thanks for knocking on my door first. xx

This one is not for me. I appreciate modern in a hotel or corporate reception, but I can't imagine making it my home. Plenty do, though. x
