About


Hi there! I'm so happy you took the time to stop by The Unique Nest for a visit.
One morning, in December of 2013, I literally woke up and decided to start a blog. A few people (OK everyone I knew) thought I was a little crazy, but I haven't looked back since. I've been designing spaces since I was a little girl and have had many make-believe businesses since I can remember. After years of helping friends and family decorate, I decided to share my ideas in the format of a blog. It gives me a creative outlet outside of the daily responsibilities of life and turned into much more than I could have ever imagined.

During your visit here you will find blog posts about my home decorating adventures, ideas for DIY lovers, delicious recipes, and products that I love. You'll also find before and after photos from my interior design company Laura Leigh Designs and posts about my construction company Milltown Homes that I co-own with my talented brother Anthony.

If I had to describe my personal style I would say that it's "Coastal Farmhouse". I'm not sure if that's a thing - but it's my thing! I love mixing old with new. Reclaimed wood next to clean lines and traditional furnishings make my heart skip a beat! I never spend a lot on home design and decor because I have two little ones and two doodle doggies, Winston and Vera --- they are all slobs! In fact, it's my husband Carmen that mainly keeps our home tidy and organized. If I had a pick a photo of our home that captures "my style" this one of our ship-lap fireplace pretty much sums it up...


When I'm not busy blogging or being a mommy, I am probably at someone's house or on the phone helping them with an interior design project. I own a small interior design company called Laura Leigh Designs and I'm also a high school Business & Finance teacher in upstate New York (my big girl job). 

Features

I've had the chance to work with and be featured by some wonderful brands and companies (see below). If you are a company, designer or fellow blogger I'd love to collaborate! Feel free to shoot me an email to connect and thank you again for the visit! xoxo ~ Laura
