Creating the Perfect Gallery Wall with Dillon

September 28, 2020

A few weeks ago I posted a photo from the “Commercial Street” room in the shop that featured a lovely gallery wall display curated and hung by our very own talented art (and chandelier, and really anything that requires hanging) specialist, Dillon. Dillon has been with the shop for 23 years and has his art arrangements down to a science – so precise it seems like magic! He has traveled from coast to coast on behalf of Nell Hill’s, hanging art for customers from Palm Springs to Washington D.C. and is always in high demand (when he can sneak out of the shop, that is 😉). This is why, when I started receiving some questions on how to create the perfect display, I knew I needed to corner him and get the inside tricks and tips that he has collected over the years to share with you all!

The Art of the #Shelfie

July 8, 2019

On social media lately I have been seeing the #shelfie hashtag popping up all over. A “shelfie” is a play on the ever-popular “selfie” but focuses on a beautifully decorated shelf. This is perfect for us here at Nell Hill’s! Not only do we love an impeccable vignette, we also adore perfectly styled shelves! In today’s post I’ve decided to pull back the curtain (or cabinet door if you will) and share some of our go-to tactics for creating the perfect #shelfie moment!

Meet the Artist: Jill Opelka

June 10, 2019

One of my many favorite things about being the steward of Nell Hill’s is having the opportunity to meet local talent. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Kansas City artist Jill Opelka at her home studio. I had a wonderful time seeing her home and getting to know more about her and her work. I can’t wait to share some of my favorite parts with you in this week’s blog post!

Meet the Artist Jan Fellers

April 22, 2019

The other week I had the pleasure of visiting local Kansas City artist Jan Fellers in her beautiful studio. Let me tell you, if you haven’t met her yet, you won’t want to miss your opportunity when she is at the shop April 26-28th! She is a treat, and so is Dave, her hugely supportive husband. I learned so much about Jan and her work – I can’t wait to share it with you all in this weeks post!

The Art of the Vignette

February 25, 2019

Vignettes help tell the story of your design, and are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to change up the look and feel of a room without a significant investment in repainting or new furniture. Vignettes can introduce new colors and textures to a room, and are creative and fun ways for you to highlight some of your favorite pieces.
While I firmly believe that there is no “wrong” way to style a vignette, we’ve come up with a few tips and tricks to make it even easier for you to recreate this look in your own homes!

The Celebration of the Color of the Year: Living Coral!

February 18, 2019

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” These brilliant words by Mark Twain kicked off a Pantone Color Seminar that Mary Carol and I attended at Atlanta Market in January. Mary Carol looked over at me, raised her eyebrows and smiled. We were off to a good start!

An Ode to Blue and White

January 28, 2019

There are some iconic pairings that stand the test of time. Like peanut butter and jelly (still a viable dinner option after a long day in the shop for this working mama), Holmes and Watson, and of course Blue and White chinoiserie in home décor. This iconic color combo is having a major moment in interior design, but we’re here to remind you that it simply never went out of style!

To Market, To Market…

January 21, 2019

As you read two weeks ago, I went on my first Market adventure Mary Carol and two of our visual team members in search of Christmas décor and decorative accents. And PHEW was it a wild ride. We’re sourcing products a full year ahead which is going to take some getting use to for this new gal! It proves an interesting challenge, but I like to think of it as giving us the ability to create trends instead of chasing them. Read more to see the Christmas trends we can’t live without.
