UGallery | SEPTEMBER 2016
We are very excited to introduce “The My Chic Nest Collection” created by our special guest curator Anna Kesten, co-founder of My Chic Nest, the east coast based ecommerce furniture company.
Since its founding in 2012, the company has been on a mission to offer personal, stylish furniture to customers with a wide range of budgets. As an intern in the interior design world, she noticed how expensive and inaccessible furniture can be. So, she was inspired to make a change with her own line of furniture.
To Anna, the design elements of any room should have their own unique personality and style.
With My Chic Nest’s many options for furniture – over 60 unique designs that can be upholstered in over 75 fabric options – Anna emphasizes her value of personal expression. Each client can cultivate a personal style when designing his or her space.
With a recent move Westchester, New York, Anna has had the opportunity to express her own style as she designs her new home with furniture from My Chic Nest and art from UGallery.
“[Art] can complete a room and is such a perfect way to showcase one’s personal style,” says Anna.
Anna’s “new favorite piece of art,” hanging above her sofa, is a photograph she purchased on UGallery, called Still Waters by Miles Hannaford.
US Weekly | SEPTEMBER 2016My Chic Nest Deborah Bed featured in the September issue of Us Weekly in their Buzzz-O-Meter section.
After months of looking and feeling quite frustrated, a sweet friend told me that I should look at My Chic Nest for a bed. She told me that they have just about every style bed and the best part was that could could pick exactly what you wanted. Oddly enough that seemed to be the biggest problem when we were bed shopping. We would find a shape but would HATE the wood/fabric. To me, there is no point in spending so much money on something just to have to buy fabric and stain the wood.
I decided to check out My Chic Nest in hopes to find something that would work perfectly for us. You guys, the minute I got on the My Chic Nest website and went to the beds category I found our bed. I saw the My Chic Nest Deborah bed and knew it was ‘the one’. I loved the combination of wood and fabric as well as the shape of the head and foot boards. Oh and the fact that I could literally pick any stain and fabric made it a home run.
The "envelope" of a renovation project is critical to its success. Mona of Mona Ross Berman Interiors in Philadelphia first sorts out the floor, walls, lighting, windows, hardware, doors, and other finishes in a home before focusing on bolder decorative touches. "Many people assume that furniture and accessories are what designers focus on to make a space work," she explains, "But really, I always start with the envelope because if that’s not working, nothing will look right." Her firm helped their clients — a family of six, including four daughters — transform their two-bedroom pied-a-terre at The Dorchester overlooking Rittenhouse Square. Built in 1980, the apartment needed a complete overhaul to give it the modern look the couple desired.
While I have shared a few glimpses of my new bedroom in past blog posts or on my
instagram, I am officially ready to reveal the finished look on the blog with our new bed, new bedside tables, and new table lamps completing the look. So, welcome to my cozy bedroom haven!! Our beautiful velvet baby blue bed comes from My Chic Nest and perfectly enough is named “The Amanda Bed” {a fab coincidence!!}!! My Chic Nest has a wide range of stunning beds and headboards, especially if you love a whimsical feel, and with so many fabrics, colors, and details to choose from, each pieces feels truly one-of-a-kind. I wan’t sure if I made the right choice when ordering the blue, but from the moment it arrived I fell in love because it completely transformed our room! {And I also can’t get over how perfectly the color matches our Boll & Branch organic bedding – you may remember that I featured it in this post from our Nashville house.}

Coming from a girl who loves color, sometimes when it comes to home decor less is more. While designing our new bedroom here in DC my first priority was finding the perfect headboard. I fell in love with this (My Chic Nest) white tufted headboard from
Candelabra, I’m not going to lie, if it wasn't for the hubby you know this hot pink one would have been the winner. The majority of these headboards are completely customizable in the terms of size and color options, love that! I couldn’t be happier with our choice in the classic white and for now I’m loving the clean and simple look... Read More
Not every dream house is completely dreamy right from the start. But when you're lucky enough to find a place with good bones, anything is possible. And for this young, vibrant couple in digital advertising sales, the perfect pad was right across from their then-existing abode in River North. Since the loft space required a major overhaul in terms of updating and rearranging, interior designer Alexandra Berlin Kaehler of Alexandra Kaehler Design collaborated with Donovan Eckhardt-partner of CD Group LLC who was overseeing the project--from start to finish.

A Girls' Room To Grow Into: Another Chicago couple moving into a historic Howard Van Doren Shaw house wanted a kids' bedroom that could suit their daughters for many years.

Some of Alexandra Kaehler's current obsessions include My Chic Nest's Sheila headboard: "My favorite ready-made headboard- clean, tailored, and a great price". Kaehler says.

Back in early 2010, I blogged about Anna Kohler's stylish home after seeing it in Renovation Style. Her home was chic, modern, and perfectly tailored. It continues to be an inspiration today, so you can imagine my excitement when I recently heard from Anna who had contacted me to share the news that she was launching her own furniture line! My Chic Nest is a reflection of Anna's timeless, glamorous style. Each piece is special and unique—perfect for creating one's own signature look. After working in interior design for several years, Anna knew how expensive it could be to have custom furniture made.
