WELCOME to Nest by Tamara blog
Hi- It's Tamara. I'm happy you've stopped by, and since 2010 I've been sharing my passion for interior design, history, art, entertaining, travel & fashion. I am an interior designer, textile designer and writer living and working in New York City and East Hampton, Long Island. My musings have taken me to international design, art, antique and epicurean events and I have lots to share. I'm grateful to have been listed as the #1 top design blog, blogs to watch, top design blogs and named and awarded Rising Star of Design by the IFDA NY industry organization. Please feel free to reach out to our team for an interior design consultation at NestbyTamara.com -Tamara

 root cellar designs' new exotica patterns
The Annual Lenox Hill Neighborhood House gala
Cipriania 42nd Street, NYC 
Tuesday, April 18 at 7 to 10 pm
"all that glitters" sea-inspired table... 
This annual black tie gala donates to the local Lenox Hill Neighborhood House for youth.  NYC's dapper crowd turns out for this extravagant evening where designers from around the nation are hand-picked to each decorate a table and centerpiece with the year's theme.  2017 is "All That Glitters" and we have designed a sea-inspired tabletop to show the gems of the natural world combined with our new exotica fabric collection.  We are also grateful to Lenox USA who donated a set of Casual Radiance plates for our table and Rio Hamilton who donated a gorgeous sea-orb for our centerpiece. 
   
 The 13th Annual Design On A Dime
Metropolitan Pavilion, NYC
Thursday, April 27 from 5:30-9 pm
 Our St. Barths dining room design...
This will be our third year participating in one of NYC's most popular design-industry charity events.  Over 60 interior designers are invited to decorate a 10X10 room vignette.  The event is a three day celebration kicking off a gala with over 4,000 industry leaders attending to view the rooms, then every donated item in the rooms are sold to benefit the Hull House project helping provide housing for families suffering from AIDS.  We are decorating a dining room channeling an exotic location and showing a dinner party in the throes, a mix of casual, relaxed and elegant wares.  We plan to hang French paneling of our new wallpaper collection in vibrant hues balanced against chocolate brown painted walls and a rich, navy colored textured rug with an eclectic array of furniture, lighting and art donated from the industry's top and most talented brands.
we are grateful for all our sponsors 
and their generous donations..
