The Art of Designing a Nell Hill’s Christmas Tree

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Between the early Kansas City snow that had our fireplaces roaring and the Christmas music we’ve got rocking in the shop, I’ve been feeling more and more in the holiday spirit!

Fear not – I have gathered our favorite Nell Hill’s tree tips and tricks to get your tree looking display ready!

Have a Very Mauvy Christmas

It is truly a time to have fun with design and décor – there are no rules when it comes to decorating your home for the holidays.

Christmas First Look: Winter Whimsy

From Easter to Halloween to the Fourth of July, I firmly believe all holidays deserve their time in the spotlight. However, Christmas comes early at the shop! We have so many gorgeous looks to show and enjoy that it just makes sense to start now so we can share them all with you! The first look we put up in the shop this year is full of sparkles, sequins and Santas! With a great mix of classic plaid accents, bright and punchy hues, and nostalgic characters that are presented with a fun twist, this style is best described as Winter Whimsy.
