They talk about how to make the former marital home your own and how to make small changes that make a big difference. Whether you're selling your marital home and buying a new place or want to change up your former marital home, this one is for you. --- Lucy founded **nest** some fifteen years ago after re-training at [Chelsea College of Art](https://www.arts.ac.uk/colleges/chelsea-college-of-arts) & Design and has been designing interiors of all shapes and sizes ever since. Her previous life was in IT and now she channels all those skills gained in managing clients, suppliers, budgets, projects and teams into organising interior projects – much more fun! All this time later, she still feels very lucky to ‘do interiors’ for a job. Projects are so varied, working with different [clients](https://www.nestinteriordesign.co.uk/projects/), budgets and briefs each time so there is always something new to learn and never a dull day. Lucy lives in Sale, Cheshire with her various unruly animals and children.
