Our Story

A family run business in Kildare Town bringing sustainable choices to your home

Rooted in creativity. Driven by purpose.

We’re Nesting – a cosy little shop in the heart of Kildare Town, where every piece tells a story.

Born from a deep love of upcycling, craftsmanship and home comfort, Nesting is where forgotten furniture finds new life — and where every item is selected with care, beauty and function in mind.

Meet the maker

Co-founder, furniture restorer, Traian.

This all started with a rescued dresser, a sander, and a lot of trial and error. What began as a passion project quickly grew into a mission: to create a space where people could find unique, sustainable, and soulful pieces for their homes.

I still pick every piece myself — and most days, you'll find me in the studio, brush in hand, coffee nearby.

Our Philosophy

“We believe in second chances — for furniture, for materials, and for homes.
Whether you’re furnishing your forever home, refreshing a room, or searching for that perfect gift — we hope you find something here that speaks to you.”
— Alexandra, Co-Founder
