Home decorating guru Mary Carol Garrity compares her techniques for transforming her own 130-year-old Greek revival fixer-upper to that of a bird building its nest-carefully selecting and layering all components twig by twig. In Nell Hill's Feather Your Nest: It's All in the Details, each chapter focuses on nest-building basics for different areas of the home, from common spaces like foyers to private spaces like bedrooms. Garrity empowers readers to feather their own nests by developing a sense of personal style, emphasising minor touches that make a major difference.
The Wall Street Journal has hailed Garrity as a "one-person economic-development force" in her hometown of Atchison, Kansas. Garrity's stores have become landmarks in the decorating world.
