Fresh Fabrics for A New Fall Season

September 14, 2020

Last weekend our Autumn accessories were flying off the shelf and it was so much fun chatting with everyone who came in to check them out! I love hearing about your fall home décor plans and talking about this beautiful season. Along the way, I am always surprised by some of the perceived “rules” that seem to pop up surrounding specific times of the year. A common misconception when gearing up for Autumn is that you are limited to a certain color palette in order to be seasonally appropriate. Untrue! While this time of year I do enjoy more spiced hues and muddy tones to match the changes we see outside, there are many ways to bring a more seasonally appropriate approach to your home regardless of color palette. I’ve gathered a few different fabric groupings that range in tone from classic fall feels to crisp autumn evening to show that it’s easy to pivot into a new season with a little textile fun!

Fabric Favorites: Spring 2020

March 2, 2020

One thing to know about me – I am a self-professed fabric-fanatic! I love discovering fresh styles at market and the anticipation that comes with waiting (im)patiently to have the new textiles arrive each season. Seeing the patterns and colors gets my mind racing with the thought of the beautiful creations soon to be designed. Just when I thought nothing would ever top the rich winter plaids I spent the last few months dreaming about, our spring styles came and took my breath away!

Transitioning Your Home After the Holidays

January 20, 2020

January can be a confusing time of year for décor. We are past the major winter holidays and have taken down our show-stopping trees and merry mantels, leaving some bare spaces in our homes that need to be filled. This time of transition is when I choose to look forward into the glory of spring!

Nell Hill’s Bedding Secrets: Tailoring and Textiles

January 13, 2020

I love coming home to an enticing and tidy looking bed – it not only energizes me in the morning to accomplish the small task of making it, but a well-made bed is a thing of beauty! I’d like to revamp our bedroom this year, and lucky for me, there are countless gorgeous beds to inspire me at Nell Hill’s! This goal has me thinking about all the questions I receive about how to achieve a “Nell Hill’s Bed”. Many a bed-owner has asked how we get them to look so full and luxurious, so I’ve collected a few secrets from our bedding experts (thank you Paula and Kathy!) who create our second-floor masterpieces.

Getting WILD with Textiles

September 2, 2019

I am just going to go ahead and say it- I think animal prints get a bad rap! Glad I got that off my chest. I’ve seen the articles and heard the talk that animal textiles are a décor faux pas (or maybe a faux-paw in this case 😉). It is time to take a walk on the wild side in this weeks blog post and put this falsehood to rest by highlighting some of my favorite animal prints that we use in the shop to make a bold statement with New Traditional design.
