Nola Home

With a mix of old, new, global, local and where-the-heck-did-she-find-that, this Bryn Mawr boutique earns that dubious local compliment: It doesn’t feel like it’s in Minneapolis…

Click through for rustic serving pieces, a spool shelf, and some fair trade goods that only look vintage.

Nola has feeling: Textures, colors and inspirations abound on a single tabletop. With a subtle emphasis on green, sustainable and fair trade (without showing it), it even has sumptuous bedding of Bamboo. It's our go-to for affordable, thoughtful-looking finds and well-made goods that only look like you picked them up across the world or inherited them from a canny granny. With a good eye and a better spirit, owner Kelly ensures you never shop the same store twice. Even if you go Saturday and Sunday.

These aviary prints hail from 19th Century Norway.

Affordable serving pieces mix texture with elegance.

A recent acquisition of glorious vintage camp blankets extends to pillows and a rare robe.

Owner Kelly Dorsey works with a family in Africa to find fair trade goods. She also sources Asian pieces and is one of the few Oly Studio furniture distributors in town.

Subtle patterns, like these fish and crocodiles, go global without getting too hippie.

The exclusive distributors of these rugs in Mpls, she also does affordable custom sisal sizes.

Besides larger pieces, Nola has plenty of small accessories and pops of color.

The kind of piece (check the spool spindles) you wish
you could steal from grandpa's workshop.

More Kilim? Is this the next big thing: http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2008/09/coming-around-to-kilim/

Howdy! Research, please! Nola Home is selling designs swindled from artists here in the Dallas area. A simple Google search of 'Nola Home complaints' or 'kelly o'neal thief' or 'design legacy swindlers' would have pulled up hundreds of complaints documenting this company's cavalier attitude (at best) and criminal indifference (at worst) in carrying known stolen designs and merchandise. The next time you feature a store where the owner says 'I don't care where my merchandise comes from, as long as it sells' when informed of stolen property she's shilling, try doing a background check...as it is, you're basically recommending customers work with criminals! For info on the class action lawsuit being organized against this store and its con artists vendor, email legacyvictims@yahoo.com. Thank you for your support!

Please ignore MMiller - I am sure that he has never been to Nola Home. I have shopped at Nola Home several times and is definitely not selling anything stolen. The pictures speak for themselves! I find products at Nola that I could not find anywhere else and am disappointed that somebody is bashing a small, local business. Go troll elsewhere "MMiller"
