If you’ve been following along on the blog, you know about our partnership with builder Grace & Nell Homes on a home for the Artisan Home Tour. We’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Lauren Browne, the third-generation builder, Founder, and Owner of Grace & Nell Homes, to furnish and decorate the impeccable home she built. Lauren was invited to participate in the tour to showcase the timeless design and uncompromising build standards she is known for and recognized the need for a partner to fully furnish the home. Having worked with the Nell Hill’s design team on her own home, and with a shared appreciation for timeless design, elevated customer experience, and exceptional quality, Nell Hill’s was a natural fit.
Over the past few weeks we’ve seen our designers’ work come to life and our team as a whole do what they do best! The warehouse team packed up, delivered, and installed furniture, the designers and visuals team arranged their furnishings and accessorized, Dillon hung all sorts of wall décor, and the finishing touches are being finalized as we speak. Even though we can’t reveal it all on the blog just yet (you’ll have to go see it for yourself on the Artisan Homes Tour), we are excited to give you a behind the scenes peek into what an install looks like!

It’s all hands on deck! Design Manager Carlie and Delivery Team Member Colin move a plaid tufted ottoman into place in the grand and gorgeous living room at the center of the home.
It’s been so rewarding to see the entire process from concept to (almost) completion and I’m so proud of the hard work our team has put into this outstanding collaboration. We can’t wait to share it with you! – Happy Decorating!
THE ARTISAN HOMES TOUR:
The Artisan Home Tour, hosted by The Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City, takes place every other summer to showcase Kansas City’s finest custom home builders and one-of-a-kind homes. With the purchase of a ticket, attendees have the opportunity to tour 15 homes across Kansas City from 11:00am to 6:00pm August 9-11, 16-18, and 23-25. A portion of ticket sales will benefit this year’s charitable partner, Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City, and advance their mission to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable housing and support their work as the region’s largest nonprofit home builder.
