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!

Rustic Elegance: “Outlander” Inspired Tablescape with Suzanne Zingg

October 19, 2020

In the time I have owned Nell Hill’s, I have been so fortunate to meet the most amazing designers and artists around Kansas City (and beyond). I find so much inspiration from talking with like-minded creatives about style and design. One of these talented souls is local tablescape artist Suzanne Zingg. A couple months ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with her to chat and one thing led to another and an idea was born!

Getting Set For Thanksgiving 2020

October 12, 2020

For many families (mine included), this year’s holiday celebrations are going to look a little different. While I won’t be hosting a grand dinner full of family and friends, I still want to make this Thanksgiving as special and meaningful as possible (because despite all the negative things about the year, we have so much for which to be thankful). One way I know how to do this (besides the copious amounts of food I am planning on prepping) is with décor.

Transitioning Into Fall Tabletops

September 7, 2020

I know Autumn won’t “officially” be here until September 22, but I am nothing if not prepared when it comes to fall decor! To keep my fall fanatic tendencies in check while still scratching the itch to continue in my quest of a seasonal makeover, I have been concentrating on the unique beauty of transitional designs. These are settings for that magical time of year where one season seamlessly blends into another, which is an art form and experience all its own.

Spring Open House 2020 Recap

March 9, 2020

I know we are still technically a little way off from the first official day of spring, but that’s no longer stopping us from celebrating the new season! After this weekend at our Spring Open House I am going full steam ahead into springtime.

Transitioning Your Tables for Spring

February 17, 2020

My my my how the tables have turned… turned into spring that is! It seems like just a few weeks ago I was making sure that Santa didn’t come crashing down from his centerpiece perch and now we are already getting the shop ready for our upcoming Spring Open House event! I wanted to capture a bit of the shop before our huge swing into spring because I love a time of transition, especially when it comes to tabletops!

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!

Have a Very Mauvy Christmas

November 11, 2019

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. While I adore Santa-spotting and have a nostalgic soft spot for classic red and green, we have a new look in the shop this year that I find truly stunning. So, hold on to your Christmas stockings, because I am about to venture away from tradition and trade out candy cane red for something a bit moodier but just as merry!

October 21, 2019

There are few things as wonderful as gathering for a holiday meal with your nearest and dearest. A beautiful table is the perfect complement to amazing food and company. I am always looking for ways to elevate my tables to create an extra special experience for my guests and have picked up a few show-stopping tips that I’m thrilled to be able to share with you today.

Christmas First Look: Winter Whimsy

September 30, 2019

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.
