Hi, I'm Amanda!
Owner and designer of Nested Home.
I live in Ada, MI, the cutest west Michigan town with my husband and two children. I love all things home; design, décor, DIY - you name it and I live for it!
My passion for interiors dates back to my childhood. As a little girl, I grew up watching Trading Spaces and dreamed of one day becoming a designer, but with the skills of a carpenter. I would rearrange my bedroom just to gain experience.
When I became an adult my husband and I moved often. We are currently living in our 9th home together! One of our biggest moves was from Michigan to California. We were young professionals starting our careers and chasing our dreams. I quickly fell in love with the relaxed, yet elevated aesthetic of the west coast.
With each move I quickly made our house into a home by placing furniture and styling each room. I learned every house has a story to tell and it was my mission to see the spaces come to their full potential.
We rented so many of our homes so I had to be creative with my designs and leaned into styling. I enjoyed the challenge of using my furniture and décor in new ways and configurations. Now, I help my clients design and style their homes to live and partner with homeowners and realtors to stage to sell. I would love to connect and help tell your story through design and décor. -Amanda
