Nesting: Design Inspirations For Your Growing Family is Wendy's must-have book for soon-to-be and new parents. Packed with sumptuous photography of over 50 original nurseries, Nesting offers inspiration on everything from interior design to keepsakes to bonding with baby. Nesting also includes a spectacular section on baby showers, children's parties and how to create inspiring outdoor areas for family playtime.
"Designing a beautiful nursery is like building the perfect nest. This special room is the backdrop of your child’s earliest memories, the heart of a whole new life"
Wendy weaves her vision of functional luxury into a clear and embraceable philosophy that puts family first and encourages intimacy and mutual respect. Nesting is more than a how-to book; it's a doorway to a fabulous lifestyle that will leave expectant mothers feeling confident, stylish and prepared.

"The warmth, creativity and sheer beauty that fill every page of this book have been a source of ongoing inspiration for me as I make this very special journey. The stunning room designs and snuggly bedding are truly unique and wonderful. So many "design" or "idea" books are cold and sterile but this one has genuine heart that will leave you smiling. Nesting is a must have for every mom-to-be!" - Christina Frueh, A reviewer, October 22, 2003
Inspriation! Just what I needed!
"Being a mother-to be whose first child was born in February 2004, I devoured every page of Wendy Bellissimo's Nesting book! It was a big help - both inspiring and comforting. Learning new ideas upon what would make our home more kid-friendly was helpful too. Thank you, Wendy, for sharing—it was just what I needed!"

Nesting-A soothing haven for the senses.
"Wendy Bellissimo's new book, Nesting is without a doubt the most beautiful and inspiring decorating and idea book I have read in a long time. It is the most delightful nursery book I have ever seen. I treasured each page. The care that Wendy took to share her nurturing with us, and the absolutely exquisite photography on each page are pure inspiration. Although I am a grandmother and past the nursery-decorating phase of my life I dearly love to design and make luscious infant garments and I really enjoy seeing beautifully designed baby nurseries. There is nothing more soothing in my mind. Bravo to Wendy for her tremendous creation. I hope to see more titles from her like Nesting in the future."

A wonderful friend joined my ‘decor team’
"I just received this book and have had a hard time putting it down! The sumptuous photos, and lovely writing style made me feel as if a new very welcome friend had joined my decor 'team' of advisors. I was stuck for ideas as to what to do in our girls' rooms (ages 8, 6, 3 & 9 months), and now I'm absolutely inspired, not only for their rooms but how to create an elegant, yet inviting, kid friendly home. Thank you Wendy!"
