Nell Hill's my new best friend!

Hubby had a conference four hours away in Kansas City. I rode along just to visit my new best friend!

I am talking about a furniture and decor store called Nell Hill's! It is just so fabulous that they allowed me to take pictures so I can share them with you.

Mary Carol Garrity opened this store in Atchison, Kansas and now has opened a new 16,000 sq. ft. store in Kansas City. This is the one that I went to. Nell Hill's has a blog, and a website! You just have to see this! I am so in love!

What do you get out of this tour...Tons of ideas and in such beautiful surroundings!

Vintage Sewing Cabinet

Wow,

 I adore

how this

 transformation

 

 came out!

Gorgeous Shelving Unit

I am very drawn to these types of shelving units.



  I realize that these are Victorian and my style of decorating is certainly not Victorian.



    But it's the romance of the curves...


                 And the spindles that gets me every time!

Jewelry Stand for Lisa

My daughter Lisa, came back home for a week from Wisconsin, where she is currently living.



Her best friend (since 1st grade) Mandi, got married and Lisa was a bridesmaid.





While Lisa was in town, we did some Mommy/Daughter time and on a shopping trip to a store going out of business, Lisa found this...

Sit A Spell

I love it when a unplanned plan comes together!

 That is the case with these two chairs...


I found them out at a garage sale recently...already with the hard part done...stripped to the bone!

Wicker Drawer Stand

I happened upon a wicker drawer stand that caught my eye at a garage sale.



The price was right



So I bought it



But the piece could use a bit of a design lift.

Electrifying Sconces

It took me a while, but I finally DID IT!

What did I do?

Well, years after making two sconces and using them for wall art, I FINALLY electrified them.



Let's go back to the beginning...

Side Table Renew!

Do you remember this side table with drawer?




No?




Well, let me jog your memory...




Remember this?

Nest Platter

This summer

New Drapes in the Study!

For me, it feels decadent to have store bought curtains...

Back Yard Gardens 2013!

I thought you might like to take a stroll through my yard with me. This has been a good weather year for plants and mine are flourishing.You will understand why we love being at home, puttering in the gardens and happy as can be!

All area beds and burms are lined with stone. I just spray round up once a year in Spring in front of the stones to keep the grass at bay and there is little weedeating needed.

Front Yard Gardens 2013!

I thought you might like to take a stroll through my yard with me. This has been a good weather year for plants and mine are flourishing.You will understand why we love being at home, puttering in the gardens and happy as can be!

What Is It?

At first glance I thought this was a vintage bird cage stand.

Wood Lamp

Humor me here...


I love making lamps...


I love making chandeliers...


Any kind of lighting that's creative...


Maybe I've missed a calling!

Lavender Harvest

If you are like me, you love the smell of Lavender! I have one plant that has grown very large next to my driveway...

I cut it back and get loads of this...

Garden Whimsy & Fairy Garden

Sit back and enjoy a bit of my 2013 garden whimsy!

Hen in the work boots is about to bloom!

Mud Room Update

Do you remember this?

 After building the new Hobby Garage, we were able to free up the old tool room and convert it to our new mud room.
