Camp Nell Hill's
When my son walked into the shop recently and caught sight of this room, he immediately asked if we had designed it with him in mind. After all, this was his first summer away at camp, and he was convinced the “Camp Nell Hill’s” look was inspired by his adventure. I smiled the biggest smile! While his time away at camp wasn’t the original idea behind the look, I suppose somewhere in the back of my mind his upcoming trip probably did contribute to the inspiration. So yes, this one is for him (and all the other happy campers out there).
This festive room lives in our cozy Molasses Room, and it’s brimming with cabin-inspired charm. Think mixed plaids, rustic textures, and plenty of natural elements; logs, pinecones, greenery, and more, all layered together to create a warm and welcoming holiday retreat.
At the heart of the space, our workroom created something truly special: a custom canopy strung above the dining table, boldly declaring “Camp Nell Hill’s” in hand-cut and stitched letters and lined with logs for an authentic lodge-like feel. Beneath it, the table is set for a holiday gathering that feels both playful and elevated, complete with plaid napkins and the sweetest little stoneware bakers at each place setting.
Of course, no Nell Hill’s Christmas is complete without a dazzling tree, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Draped in tartan ribbons, nubby, colorful plaid and sparkling ornaments, and textural accents like pinecones and bells, it captures the magic of the season with a rustic spin.
Every detail, from the stacked tables to the leathers and tailored plaids, adds to the sense of coziness, as though you’ve stepped into a winter cabin tucked away in the woods. It’s festive, it’s nostalgic, and it’s filled with fun touches that make it uniquely Nell Hill’s.
So whether you’re inspired by childhood camp memories, cozy cabin getaways, or just love the layered look of classic plaids and greenery, Camp Nell Hill’s is ready to welcome you in for the holidays.
