Hopewell Road · Cincinnati · Since 2021
Ethel Bonner runs this counter at 9070 Hopewell Road. The shelves hold original home pieces, craft and modeling kits, board games, educational toys, and instruments, plus a note on how each one sits in a room.
The floor
Each pair is one table: two categories and one photograph, so a room object and a project can be chosen on the same visit.
01
Author-made clay, wood, and textile pieces for mantels and ledges, each sold on its own.
02
Vessels, trays, and textiles for a furnished room, meant to be picked up and wiped.
03
Paper, fiber, and mixed-media kits with that project’s materials already in the pack.
04
Modeling sets with parts in order, for a finished build that can pause between sessions.
05
Board games chosen by player count, table size, and how long a weeknight session runs.
06
Toys grouped by age and by building, sorting, counting, or story play.
07
Home-scale strings and hand percussion sized for a living-room corner.
08
Strings, picks, stands, cases, and care items stocked with the instruments.
Styling
One room, using goods from these shelves. At the counter, or by phone with a photo of the wall.
01
Note the window direction and whether the paint reads warm or cool, including a north wall in winter.
02
Clay, pale oak, linen, or paper. Ethel uses that limit to cut the shelf to a handful of pieces.
03
A game, a toy, or an instrument is chosen for the same room and written on the same note.
04
Take it from the counter, or ship it once the window is named.
The counter
Six ways to buy from the Hopewell Road counter.
Bring a photo of the ledge. Ethel checks the piece against a mantel or sideboard, sells it singly when a set would crowd the room, and picks the surface you can wipe.
The counter says which pack includes the tool and which one assumes a mat, scissors, or glue you already have. Modeling sets also say whether the build needs one sitting or can be boxed overnight.
Give the age in years and the number of players. If that box is out, Ethel names another for the same table, and a board that needs more surface than you have stays on the shelf.
Tell Ethel where it will sit and who will pick it up on a weekday. A larger body stays off the list when that corner is full, and strings or a stand can ride on the same order.
Meet at 9070 Hopewell Road, or email a wall photo to [email protected]. You leave with a short list from current stock, or call (513) 793-2415 to walk the wall first.
Collect at Hopewell Road, or ship to a US street address. The window is confirmed for that box before it leaves Cincinnati, using the city, state, and ZIP on the slip.
The shop
DECOR PLUS, LLC opened in Cincinnati in 2021. Ethel Bonner keeps three kinds of goods that usually sit in different stores: objects that settle a room, games and toys a household will open, and materials for a project on the table.
Stock is chosen for material and for fit, so a clay vessel and a modeling kit can be decided in one visit.
