Our Story
Welcome to The Vegel House
I’m Nicole Vegel and I started this endeavor because I truly enjoy creating a beautiful home and figuring out how to make our old house best function for our growing family. A refinished table, clean linens, a new coat of paint, a good candle and some fresh flowers are all building blocks of my design approach.

Wherever you stumbled from, I appreciate you visiting and you are most welcome here!
