I like to joke that at Nell Hill’s, Christmas is a year-round thing. We buy in January, receive and tag merchandise over the summer, and kick
Have you ever heard the saying, “you either love it or hate it, there is no in-between”? People usually use this phrase when talking about
All good classic tales have one thing in common – you have to kiss a lot of proverbial frogs to find your prince. In Cinderella, the glass slipper had to be put on quite a few feet before finding the right fit, and we all know Goldilocks had to nibble a few porridges before finding the one that was just right. It makes me wonder, what if Prince Charming had taken the time to look at the shoe size or if Goldy had just stopped to grab a snack before breaking and entering? When it comes to finding the perfect match there are ways to skip some of the hardships and make your way to a fairy tale ending, especially when it comes to upholstered furniture
While many things in life change and evolve, the steps to creating a beautiful bedroom do not! Once upon a time Mary Carol laid out a roadmap to creating a stunning space in which to relax and regenerate, and this advice still gets me through my room refreshes today. I thought we could all use a reminder from her this spring as we look to breathe a little new life into or completely transform our rooms during spring cleaning.
Dearest gentle readers,
It is often said that those who binge-watch delightfully decorated period dramas on Netflix must then obsess over the regency style of design for quite some time. This sentiment is clearly one that I hold dear to my heart as I have been searching for not one, not two, but three weeks for the perfect touches to add old world elegance to my spaces. As the end of my season viewing draws near, I believe it is my responsibility to keep you informed so we might bring a bit of Bridgerton into the ton before polite society makes their pilgrimage to the country. – Yours truly, Lady Laughridge
One thing I have learned on my design journey these past years is that there is most often no “right” answer when it comes to home décor. Sure, there are guidelines for color, scale, pattern mixing and more, and it is tempting to create a rule or norm for designing a home, however with each unique person comes a unique view of how to design the perfect space.
The only thing constant about trends, is that they come and go – which is why I always say to stick to what you love regardless of what is currently “in” at the moment. That being said…who doesn’t love to be ahead of the curve when it comes to home fashion?! 2022 is set to be a fun and fantastical year for returned and reimagined trends full of nostalgia and whimsey. One such trend by which I am enamored is the re-emergence of plush curves and sculptural shapes in furniture.
Every year I try to set goals for myself as one does, and my New Year’s resolution for 2022 is to get more rest! Although with a baby on the way I can see how I might be setting myself up for failure, just as my 2021 plan to eat heathier went a bit off the rails. Nonetheless, setting goals (achievable or not) is often what keeps us moving forward! At least I can use my resolution this year as an excuse to give my bedroom a makeover, and that’s something I can get behind 100%!
Another magical holiday season has come to a close. The holidays may still not feel quite like “normal” yet, but I still enjoyed bringing out my favorite decorations from Halloween to Thanksgiving to the Christmas finale! Having holiday décor around the house brings in an extra dose of cheer and I think that was especially called for this year! Now however, it is time to pack all of that glitter and glitz back into the basement until next year.
While parts of day-to-day life seem to be getting back to “normal” (or at least a new NEW normal), some changes from the last year seemed poised to stay around for some time to come. One of these changes is that home offices are more necessary than ever! With offices turning to permanent work from home or hybrid work schedules, it is important to create a practical space at home that is built for productivity. This has created a new challenge for us here at the shop, since many times practical and productive can be a bit…blah. We’ve been searching high and low to bring style and finesse to our home office essentials so that you can create a study that will stun both in person and over Zoom.
