Scents of Spring

March 28, 2022

Spring is in the air, and so are its wonderful scents! When I think of spring, aroma is at the forefront of my mind. Stepping outside and inhaling a fresh, earthy breeze is my sign that the season has officially changed. I can picture it now in my mind – light cotton dresses, dreamy floral sprigs, gardens starting to bloom and a sense of renewal that only comes with spring. I have a few favorite scents this season that pair beautifully with many of our different springtime looks in the shop!

Beautiful Beds: Blue and White Three Ways

April 5, 2021

I don’t know about you, but nothing makes me want to stay in bed all day lounging more than a rainy day. Seeing as spring is upon us, the drizzle of April showers won’t be going anywhere soon! This means, it is time to refresh and re-comfy (yes, I made up that word) our bedrooms for optimal rainy-day snoozing. I have been loving our new beds and bedding designs that the Nell Hill’s team have been creating on our second floor. If I had to pick one trend that is slipping into my dreams it is the ever-classic, beautifully timeless combination of Blue and White.

Craving Color: Incorporating Juicy Citrus Hues into Your Home

March 15, 2021

Sometimes when a craving hits it can’t be ignored! I’ve been experience cravings not only with my sweet tooth but with my other tastes as well. It all started last week when one of our wonderful team members, Karen, brought in delicious lemon bars for the crew. I hadn’t had such a bright flavor in quite a while, and it hit me that I needed more bright and juicy tastes and colors in my life. How fun is it that inspiration can come from the most unexpected (and delicious) of sources! I’ve now made it a point to bring vibrant lime, fresh orange, and tart lemon colors into our décor to embrace this sharp and joyful feeling that I don’t want to shake!

Serving Up Spring Tabletops

February 22, 2021

On the menu today is beautiful and bright tabletops sure to bring a sunny smile to your face! I don’t know about you, but I have been STARVING for new tabletop goodies to play with and I am so happy that it is finally that time of year! Although it hasn’t been feeling like Spring these last few weeks, it is on its way. Easter is only a little over a month away! While February always feels like the longest month of the year, it will be over before we know it. This doesn’t allow much prep time for a new season, so I love to get a head start on bringing new displays to our dining areas. There are a few easy additions to freshening up your tables this month and start spring off on the right foot!

Embracing Color in Your Home

February 15, 2021

These last few weeks have left me feeling a bit blah. The grey skies and single-digit temperatures have me feeling sluggish and drained, and I’m in need of a change! What better way to add some pep to my step and some energy to my day than with a shot of color? Anyone who follows our blog or has visited our shop knows that we love pattern and color in all rooms great and small. I know not everyone is able to come enjoy the shop right now and I want to bring my winter blues solution right to your doorsteps (or desktops, rather). Though the days may be dreary and cold, that is no reason you or your home should be! This week I am talking tips for embracing color and bringing some much-needed energy to our homes and ourselves.

A Fresh Look with Spring Bedding

February 8, 2021

This is the prime time of year to bring a fresh look to your home, and of course, this includes the bedroom! With warmer weather approaching (it doesn’t feel like it now, but soon enough it will!), it is time to start thinking about putting the heavy extra quilts and blankets back into the cedar chest and bring out the spring! Our lovely bedding experts at Nell Hill’s have been busy switching our looks out and imparting a few tips and tricks to the perfect spring bed.

Bring on Spring!

February 1, 2021

The weather has been so dreary this last week; with rain and chill almost every day it has been giving me the winter blues! I

Beating the Post-Holiday Décor Slump

January 4, 2021

We did it! We survived 2020 and a very (for a lack of better word) unique holiday season. Since we were spending most of our holiday time at home this year, I pulled out all the stops to make it feel as normal as possible. However, now it seems that the post-holiday décor slump is even more pronounced in my home. By “post-holiday décor slump” I mean that the mantels that once boasted full garland now look bare and the corner of my living room that featured a magnificent tree, a bit empty. The lack of Christmas cheer is leaving me in a bit of a funk. We run into the same dilemma in the shop – where do we even start with bringing life back into our spaces after such a full and magical time of year?

Spring Bedding Roundup Pt. 1

April 6, 2020

I’m taking Spring Cleaning to a new level while I formulate a plan to relocate nearly everything in the room for a completely fresh start. This means new furniture (YAY!), new bedding, and new accessories. Because my loving husband can take only so much talk of duvets and pillow fills and color palettes, I’m sharing my inspiration from the shop here with you, dear reader!

Easter Brunch at Home

March 30, 2020

It seems that Easter is going to look a bit different for many of us this year. However, different doesn’t have to mean less festive! Nothing gets me out of the “isolation blues” like turning one of my rooms into a new scene! Last month when I was visiting Gail’s beautiful home in Lawrence, Kansas (check out last week’s blog post for more on that), I had just perused at all our cute spring goodies and I thought that her house would be the perfect place to set up an Easter Brunch.
