It is with broken hearts that we share that my sweet Mama passed away peacefully yesterday, just as the sun was setting over Chattanooga, surrounded by her family.

We are devastated that, despite fighting so hard, she just couldn't pull through. We had prayed for more time, for healing, and for the chance to bring her home. While our hearts are heavy with grief, I find comfort in knowing that my Papa was there to welcome her into Heaven. Her suffering is over, her body is at peace, and her soul is restored. ❤️

We are deeply grateful to the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff at Erlanger who cared for Mama with such compassion. They did everything they could for her and worked so hard to keep her comfortable in her final days. We will never forget their kindness.

To everyone who prayed with us and for us, sent messages, called, or reached out with love and encouragement, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mama loved so many people, and she truly appreciated every call and message she received while in the hospital. Knowing how much she was loved meant so much to her, and it means even more to us now.

As we begin to navigate life without her, we ask that you please continue to keep my Dad and our entire family in your prayers. The days ahead will be difficult, especially with the holidays approaching. There will be an emptiness that words simply cannot describe.

Mama will be laid to rest at the Chattanooga National Cemetery. We will share arrangements and details as they become available.

Thank you all for loving my Mama and for surrounding our family with so much kindness during this heartbreaking time. We are grateful beyond words.

Rest peacefully, Mama. You are loved beyond measure, and you will be missed more than you could ever know. ❤️

And on a personal note, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has reached out, checked on us, and prayed for my mom. She still has quite an uphill battle ahead of her, and we would be so grateful for your continued prayers. Your kindness and support mean more than you know. ❤️

A Little Personal Update ❤️

I wanted to take a moment to share why I've been a little quiet here lately.

My mom is facing some very serious health challenges, and right now, my time and attention are focused on being there for her and my family. Out of respect for her privacy, I won't be sharing the details, but I know so many of you have noticed my absence, and I wanted you to know why.

As much as I love what I do, my family will always come first. That doesn't mean I've forgotten about my business or the wonderful customers and clients who have supported me along the way. Quite the opposite. You mean more to me than you probably realize.

Being self-employed means that when life requires me to step away, my income slows down, too. I'm simply not able to devote the time to promoting my business that I normally would. So please know that every purchase from my booth at The Collective Boutiques or through my website means so much right now. Your support helps keep my little business going while I focus on what matters most.

I don't share that to make anyone feel obligated to shop, but simply to let you know how genuinely grateful I am for those of you who continue to support The Nested Bee, even when I'm not showing up here every day.

To everyone who has reached out with kind words, prayers, love, and encouragement, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has meant more than I can express.

We still have a long road ahead as we work toward getting Mom healthy again, but I'm holding on to faith and praying for better days ahead.

I'll be here when I can, sharing little bits of inspiration and updates along the way. In the meantime, thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for being part of this little community I've worked so hard to build.

With love and gratitude,

Anna Kat ❤️

One of my favorite things about being an interior designer has always been helping people see the possibilities in their own homes. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective, a few thoughtful changes, or a little encouragement to finally tackle that room you've been putting off!

And with the holidays just around the corner, what better time to give your home a little refresh? ✨️

I've been wanting to find a way to share more of my design experience with you, even if we don't live anywhere near each other. So I've put together two new Room Refresh options to help you get started, whether you enjoy doing things yourself or would rather have a little personalized guidance from me.

My hope is to make decorating feel less overwhelming and a whole lot more fun. You don't have to replace everything or spend a fortune to create a beautiful, welcoming home. Sometimes it's just about making what you already have work a little better!

I've shared all the details in the slides, so take a peek and see if one of these options might be helpful for you.

And as always, I'm so grateful you're here! I love sharing ideas, inspiration, and my passion for creating homes that feel collected, comfortable, and uniquely yours. ❤️

If you'd like more information, just comment REFRESH and I'll send you the link! 🐝

Hi, friends! 👋🏻🐝

I’ve noticed quite a few new faces around here lately, so I thought I’d take a minute to introduce myself!

I’m Anna Kat, the face behind The Nested Bee! I’m an interior designer, vintage lover, treasure hunter, and a big believer that a home should be filled with things that make you happy.

My husband, Joseph, and I moved to the Nashville area from Chattanooga about ten years ago. We share our home with our sweet dog, Lucy, and two bunnies! 🐰 We both love thrifting, watching old movies, cooking, and finding new little adventures together. And yes, we're those people who will happily spend an entire afternoon wandering through antique shops!

After more than 25 years in interior design and 3½ years owning a vintage home décor shop, I decided to slow things down a bit and start a new chapter with The Nested Bee.

These days, you’ll find me hunting for vintage treasures, styling my antique booth, helping clients create beautiful spaces, working on estate sales, and sharing little bits of life at home.

But this page is about so much more than decorating! I want to share practical design tips, creative ways to use vintage finds, favorite recipes, ideas for gathering with friends and family, and a little gardening along the way (I'm still learning that part!).

My hope is that you'll find inspiration here to create a home and a life that feel uniquely yours. Not necessarily perfect or trendy, but warm, welcoming, and full of things you love.

I'm so glad you're here, and I hope this little corner of the internet feels like visiting with a friend. ❤️

Now I'd love to get to know you! Tell me where you're following from and whether you're a fellow vintage lover, homebody, foodie, or a little bit of everything like me!

Welcome to The Nested Bee! 🐝💕

Your home doesn't have to match perfectly. It just has to feel like YOU. ✨️

Some of my favorite pieces around our home aren't necessarily the most valuable or the most beautiful. They're the ones that tell a story, bring back a memory, remind me of someone special, or simply make me smile every time I walk past them.

I've never believed that everything in a home needs to coordinate, follow a particular design style, or fit the latest trend. In fact, I think the most interesting homes are the ones that have been collected over time, filled with things that mean something to the people who live there.

Mix the old with the new. Display that quirky little treasure. Keep the family heirloom that doesn't quite match. Surround yourself with colors, textures, and objects that bring you joy.

A beautifully decorated house is lovely, but a home filled with memories, personality, and happiness? That's something truly special.

So here's your reminder: Don't decorate to impress others. Decorate to make yourself happy.

Swipe through for a few of the little things around my home that make me smile. 🐝

I'd love to know—what's one thing in your home that you'll never part with, simply because it means something to you?

Some of the best recipes are the ones that have been passed down through generations. 🤎

This Chocolate Fudge Pie is one of those recipes for me. It belonged to my grandmother Sarah, but we all called her Momoo. And let me tell you, this is one of those good old-fashioned Southern desserts that proves you don't need a long list of ingredients or hours in the kitchen to make something absolutely delicious!

It's rich, chocolatey, a little fudgy, and even better with a scoop or vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. And the best part? It's so easy to make!

I've been going through some of my favorite family recipes lately, and I thought it would be fun to start sharing a few of them with y'all. After all, good food is meant to be shared, and there's something special about keeping these old family recipes alive.

So, who's ready for something sweet? 🥧
