I may not have an abundance of hobbies but blogging is one that's up there although recently I've struggled to find the time - raising Sadie, planning a wedding and running a home is a full time occupation so whenever I do have a spare moment I find myself doing the necessities like washing pots or tidying up. That doesn't mean the blogging world stops though, the wheels keep on turning and it's easy to feel left behind so when you're invited to an event that manages to reignite your passion for blogging whilst eating the most divine cake you know you're in the company of good eggs.

 Step forward Nest, a design led interiors brand founded in Sheffield yet available worldwide. With a Pinterest worthy website and a beautifully curated, on point showroom (when can I move in?) you'd be forgiven for thinking team Nest were part of the sometimes pretentious and often exclusive design world but that couldn't be further from the truth. From the moment you enter the showroom the team welcome you with open arms and you get the impression that nothing is too much trouble, from free at home interior design consultations to social media messaging with overseas customers these guys go the extra mile to make sure you're making the right purchase for your home, Sheffield hospitality at its best.

 One thing that was really apparent at Nest HQ was the passion and enthusiasm the staff have for both design and the brand itself, something that is unfortunately lacking on todays high street - if only I could bottle it, I'd make a fortune. This coupled with the seriously aesthetically pleasing product choices, think simple Scandi design against infamous Vitra pieces and you'd be on the right track make Nest an independent interiors force to be reckoned with.

 Now all that's left to decide is when we can repaint our bedroom so I can get some Hay bedding in my life...

 Have you ever shopped at Nest before? Do you support your local independents?
