Best of Boston

Ascending the worn wooden stairs to reach Nesting on Main recalls a trip to Grandma’s attic. The three owners, each with a talent for finding charm in the humblest of artifacts, have covered almost every inch of surface in their four-room boutique with antique card-catalog drawers, beveled mirrors, birdcages, glass doorknobs, chess pieces—the list is seemingly endless. If by chance you don’t find what you’re after, just write it down in the “wish list” book, and let the buyers work their magic.
