What is one area of the Hill House Museum guests always marvel at and sometimes wish they had one in their house?
The Flower Closet!
Since the Hill sisters loved horticulture and gardening the flower closet was a place that was well utilized this time of year. In the past when the gardens were blooming the colorful fragrant flowers would have been brought inside, arranged in the flower closet, and placed throughout the Hill House. There is a working sink in the flower closet and many shelves on which colorful and ornate vases sit reminiscent of the glory days of the past. The Hill sisters won many International Flower Show awards and many of those accolades sit on those shelves with the vases. In fact, many of the awards are “First Place” due to their unique contributions to the horticulture world.
Flowers can make a bad day brighter and more colorful! So, enjoy the attached pictures of the Hill House Flower Closet virtually, and maybe be inspired during these pandemic times to bring some color into your home just like the Hill sisters once did.
