• Meet Nell Marie

    Welcome! My name is Nell

    Hi, I’m Nell — the woman behind Home on Hayden. I’m a mom of three boys, a Texas-by-choice homebody, and someone who truly believes a cozy home can change how we experience our everyday life.

    I love creating a house that feels warm, welcoming, and lived-in, and I’m always finding new ways to decorate, bake, homemake, and make life feel a little slower and more meaningful.

    Here on Home on Hayden, I share simple ideas to help you create a home you actually want to be in — one full of comfort, peace, and sweetness.
