I would have loved to be a the launch party, truly! But a Sunday night and I'm STILL working. Sigh. Can't be two places at once.

Wishes all of you at NEST much, much success!

Whew! What a day. What a night!

We worked on the interior cabinet components up until 4pm, and the party began at 5! Then a brief storm blew through town and knocked out electricity for about 7000 residents and businesses, including our venue! At the last possible moment, power was restored and we were able to get the Nest indoors. I was still wiping things down when guests began to arrive.

We staged the interior a bit to give folks an idea of what's what.

It is nice to see the trailer with people around it. That gives a sense of the scale.

What is across from the bathroom? Closet?

Very nice, I would so love to see it in person.

What are you planning to do for window coverings, Robert?

Love the flooring - is that some kind of cork product or is it carpet? I really can't tell, which I think is part of why I'm so curious
