far," says Lindsay. The shop features a very coastal style – light and airy, with lots of bright whites and neutrals. From kitchenware to throw pillows, the design philosophy is simple: timeless pieces with plenty of character. "It's kind of a one-stop shop," Lindsay explains. "We wanted to bring all of our favourite things to one spot." "Our online store launched in November – we had lots of inquiries about it," says Misty, who also owns Miss Bliss Boutique next door. Customers who shop Nest & Nook online can have their items delivered all across Canada. Of course, plenty of customers are local Sidney residents. "Word of mouth has been very powerful," Lindsay adds, "and social media has been good to us." A lot of people discovered the shop over the Christmas holidays. The stock is also changing all the time – right now, spring décor is starting to come in. "We're pretty proud of the pillow collection," says Lindsay, noting that they can easily update any room in the house. "Customers seem to really like them." People are also loving the dishware, and the selection of quirky, fun doormats. "There's always fresh new stuff," Misty explains, so returning customers can find something different. The shop itself is bright, warm, and welcoming – just like the owners. They carry some great local items too: there are a few cookbooks written by local B.C. women, and candles from both Victoria and Vancouver-based women. If you go to visit the shop, chances are you'll find Lindsay – she's there most days. "If anyone is feeling stuck with their home décor, or they have a new place they're not sure how to decorate or where to start, we can definitely help," says Lindsay. "We want to make their house a home." You can find Nest & Nook Housewares in Sidney, tucked in at 2393 Beacon Avenue, or visit their online shop at nestandnookhousewares.com.
