Having kids has taught you to let a lot of things go. Unfortunately, that includes your Noguchi coffee table.
But thanks to local designer and mom Liz Levin’s new online resource, Nesting, you can have your side tables and not worry about them, too.
The shop stocks basics like upholstered chairs, sofas, and ottomans in fabrics that are as desirable as they are durable; select tables come with touch-up paint in case of nicks. Keep an eye out for pillows in stain-fighting fabrics, unbreakable lighting, and window treatments — all coming soon to the collection.
Levin also offers a la carte design services starting at $25 (just e-mail in a question) or will work with you on a total home overhaul.
Without cutting any corners.
