Okay... I think I have stretched this subject just about as far as I can. (lol)
Like so many other homeowners I am a huge fan of Mary Carol Garrity's designs.
So when my cousin asked what I wanted to do while in KC.... I said
"Take me to Nell Hill's!"

We went to all three locations! Two in Atchison Kansas and one in Kansas City Missouri. I have shared the pictures from Garrity's and Nell Hill's, both in Atchison.When we went to the location in KC I kind of figured that it would be more of the same and in part it was. But this location is larger and really more of a true design center, I would say. But the VERY BEST part of this location....
Is that MCG works there! Everyday!
We were coming up the stairs and I turned around and saw this pretty, petite, little brunette and then I looked again... "Excuse me... Are you Mary Carol Garrity"? said I
"Why, yes I am!" said she with a big, warm, Midwestern smile. She held out her hand and greeted me as if I was at her front door!
We went on to have a full conversation about what her future plans were in the stores and how long she has been in business (almost 30 years). She asked me all kinds of questions and actually thanked me!
So I bought the only book that I don't have and she kindly autographed it!

So there you have it. My Mary Carol Garrity story. And I'm stickin' to it!
One last thing that I wanted to share. It occurred to me that a beautiful space is just space if you don't fill it with hospitality.
