It all started in 5th grade, when a friend gave me a little decorative box as a gift. That present ignited a love affair with boxes that is still burning bright.

Every year when I take down my holiday decorations, my house seems a little cold and empty. Stripped bare of all those festive greens, ribbons and shining objects, I see everything I am not so crazy about in my home’s décor, from the nicks and scratches on the walls to the dog hair. While I […]

Every year Pantone picks a wonderful color of the year for us all to enjoy. However, while I love periwinkle, this year is going to be all about green (for me, at least)! If you follow along with the goings on in the shop, you know that I have been a big fan of green for years (and really, my whole life), but I am turning up the volume on my obsession. Greens are having a big year in 2022 from avocado to emerald and sage - I love them all.
How can one little color, that’s really not much of a color at all, pack so much punch when it comes to interior spaces? Depending upon which of its 50 shades you love most, gray can be bold and brooding. Soft and Soothing. Glamorous and regal. Relaxed and unassuming. You gotta love a mix of […]

Is it strange to get excited about your bathroom? Maybe. But I sure love this little space in my cottage. I’ve long been a believer in making every room in your home equally lovely, even those out-of-sight private spaces like your bath. So when we were remodeling our little fixer-upper on the lake, I knew […]

I love it when customers bring in photos of their biggest decorating dilemmas. Sometimes, they just don’t like a room but they don’t know why. As I look through their snapshots, it’s easy to see what’s bugging them. Even though they have filled the rooms with beautiful furniture and nice accents, they are usually missing […]

Can you guess where I went on Friday? Can you guess who I met? Oh my Heavens above, it is me and Mary Carol Garrity author, decorator most fantastic and owner of Nell Hill's! ~*~ It was a summer open house at Nell Hill's and her private home this Friday. Mom, Lindsey and I drove 2 1/2 hours to go visit. We stopped in at the store first, and then boarded a huge air conditioned tour bus that drove us to her home. Let me tell you, I was so excited when I spotted her standing at the top of the stairs to welcome us in. ~*~ Mary Carol, is one super sweet gracious gal. So warm and welcoming, an absolute doll! Would you like to see a little bit of what I saw? ~*~ ~ Part One ~ A Tour of Mary Carol Garrity's home Isn't this just beautiful. I love the columns and the urns full of ferns. Her beautiful front door. Do you remember this from her books? I love the topiaries in the black urns. (I'm going to paint mine black, too!) The wire birdcage that decorates the door was for sale in her shops! To the left of the front door was this beautiful outdoor seating area. The wicker was painted a dark turquoise and the iron chairs and table were black. The urn has ivy planted in it and white taper candles. See the stone riser, they were everywhere, and were for sale in the store for only $14. Of course, I had to have one of those! How exquisite are these windows? You can never have too many moldings can you! In the foyer, to the left was this little seating nook. She has used shutters instead of blinds on most of her windows. Look where she placed this mirror, it is in between two windows! This is the pretty scene you see when you first walk in the front door. If you have her books, then you have definitely seen this before. She has prints everywhere! This is the living room, and you will probably recognize those butterflies and bookshelves. She tucks little tables almost anywhere. The dining room. The topiaries are in little french pots that were for sale in the store. Lots of layers and lots of green moss and silver. She elevates everything on pedestals. The screened in back porch. You have seen this beautiful painted piece of furniture many times in her books. See the topiary in the white vase, I bought one just like it! Another corner of the back porch. Isn't it lovely? Outdoor refreshment area. What a beautiful way to ice your beverages. Gorgeous hanging baskets of ivy and candle chandeliers. Stepping down from the back porch was the hidden dining room area. Most of these items were for sale in the shop. Doesn't this just make you want to have a garden party? An outdoor seating area. Love the balustrade with the ivy and clematis clambering over it. An urn with ivy on a little black table. Walking down the garden path, back to the front of the house. Getting ready to walk past the garden gate. I think we all need one of these in the garden. This was the first stepping stone as you would enter the garden from the front. How whimsical! ~*~ Hope you enjoyed these pictures. I sure had fun taking them to share with you. I have even more to share next week of the store. Now I am off to wallpaper the chicken coop. How's that for a tempting ending so you will return for a visit! ~Jill~
