Hearth & Heirlooms

The third generation of Taylor Burton Company, Daniell Burton is continuing on his family legacy alongside his wife, Ellie. Photo by Blair Ramsey Design by Lavens Maginnis

My favorite Google review I’ve ever read is “We love Mr. Paul! This is musical heaven.” In 1992, my dad opened Lorna Music Academy in Hoover. He taught guitar lessons, sold guitars, even fixed broken guitars. He was a legend. For the next 28 years, he impacted the lives of thousands of people through the ministry of music. After his death in October 2020, I had numerous people reach out to me to tell me how much my dad meant to them. With his encouragement, several overcame addition, and another, self-harm. One found strength to seek counseling and is still here today even after struggling with suicidal thoughts. Others went on to earn music scholarships and were able to pay for college, knowing they wouldn’t have been able to afford higher education otherwise. His students are now doctors, lawyers, first responders, some even guitar teachers themselves. My dad never made a whole lot of money, but he did help thousands of people to find and fulfill their callings in life, and now, those people are out helping others, too. That is the power of small businesses. In this issue, we’re highlighting several small, local businesses whose impact has positively shaped our city. Jackie O’Neal School of Dance (23) has been raising dancers into strong, independent, talented women (and men) for the past 78 years. The Local Bourbon House & Eatery (33) is now under new leadership and has since become a hub for great bites and pints. Tyre Stuckey and Christopher Moses’ new concept, The Kitchen by Market (41), is changing the dinnertime rush by offering flavorful, protein-packed, take-home meals made with ingredients from other local retailers right here in town. Daniell and Ellie Burton’s home (43) was built by Taylor Burton Company, Daniell’s family’s business that both he and Ellie now work at. Truly, building their home was a family affair. After retiring and later experiencing loss, Carol Rumore returned to entrepreneurship to reopen Piddlin Art and Antique (55) under a slightly new name, offering that same beloved customer service that first built her reputation in the city decades before. Getting to interact with all these individuals and more has reaffirmed what my dad taught me long ago: Small businesses are the heartbeat of our country. Their greatest strength is what big corporations lack— meaningful relationships that strengthen the fabric of our society. Vestavia Hills is full of businesses like these, and I cannot wait to get to know them. Because if they’re anything like Lorna Music Academy, then people may walk in as strangers, but they will leave knowing they have a place where they belong. Your small business zealot,

CREATING A LEGACY

After suffering from familial loss, photographer George Elliott has turned his grief into an act of service. BY KATELYN SMITH PHOTOS BY GEORGE ELLIOTT & KELSEA SCHAFER VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 13

The world offers so much beauty to the eye of the beholder, often imitated with a camera and a photograph. Life is too short for anyone to experience it all, but George Elliott spends his time using photography to capture it for his late loved ones. This year, after a long walk with grief, he published his first children’s book, “Two Angels: Eight Lessons Learned on Earth,” to honor those loved ones and help others with their own grief. Originally from South Georgia, George moved to Vestavia Hills in 1967. With a degree in journalism with an emphasis on public relations from the University of Georgia, he began working at BellSouth Telecommunications. He eventually became the director of public relations and served the company for 30 years before retiring. While working at BellSouth, George worked closely with a lot of newspaper photographers and editors. “The photographers taught me a lot about photography,” he recalls, “what makes a good picture, color, composition.” However, he wouldn’t get into photography until much later, when things began to take a digital turn. At that time, George was still working in public relations and raising a family. He had met his wife, Jerrie, at their church in Georgia before he moved to Birmingham. They had known each other their whole lives, as they lived just a block away from one another. They married in 1968 and ended up having three children: Amelia, Kathryn and Jerolyn. George’s world came to a halt in 1995, when Amelia passed away in a tragic car accident at a railroad crossing. She was serving as a camp counselor at Camp Cosby and was with four other counselors when she lost her life. It was a devastating time for their family as all loss is. For George and his wife, they turned to advocating for railroad safety. “We worked with railroads in the state in getting crossing lights and things like that,” he says. Railroad safety wasn’t the only thing they wanted to do for Amelia. After the accident, the head of the YMCA, which ran the camp, called the head of Children’s of Alabama to get someone to counsel the kids at the camp. They sent Joe McNulty who stayed at the camp for a week. Some time later at George’s church, Vestavia

Hills Baptist Church, there was a grief support group that he and Jerrie attended. That night, all the speakers were from the Children’s Health System, one of them being Joe. He spoke about the Camp Cosby experience and how he had the desire to form a grief assistance center within the hospital. “He didn’t know we were in the audience,” George says. “And at the end, Jerrie and I went up and said, ‘If you want to do it, let’s do it.’” So, after talking to Joe’s boss about the idea, George and Jerrie went before the board and presented their idea: a grief assistance center for families and children suffering from loss. The head of Children’s Hospital, Jim Durr, approved of the idea, but he also had an idea of his own. He wanted to call it the Amelia Center. The Amelia Center officially opened in July 1997, offering care for grieving parents, children and families. “It’s a real legacy,” George says. “It was one of those things we think God has a part in doing it, putting everyone together at the right time. Everywhere we go, we hear great things about it.” Unfortunately, his journey with grief was far from over. One of George’s grandchildren, Tyson,

16 Fall 2026

Even in the midst of grief, you need to realize that your loved one was a gift that God never had to give you at all. Therefore, even in the midst of grief, you ought to give gratitude for ever having them, and if you change to that kind of thinking, it helps to get through that. -George Elliott passed away in an accident in 2020. Before his death, George had an idea to write a children’s book to remember Amelia but had never actually finished it. When he tragically lost Tyson, he began to work on the book again but as an act of remembrance to both. Once the story was written, he just had to find an illustrator. George had started doing photography around 1999, primarily landscapes and other things he found interesting. When George B. Elliott Photography formed, he had begun traveling to different art shows where he met Sandy Bishop. They would trade pictures sometimes, so George asked her if she would be willing to illustrate his book. She agreed, and the brightly painted images

and whimsical story of two angels came to life in February 2026. “Two Angels: Eight Lessons Learned on Earth” focuses on angels—Amelia and Tyson—in heaven. Together, they reflect on their time on Earth and the lessons they learned there. “It’s couched as a children’s book, but the message is good for adults, too,” George says. “This is kind of to help children through their grief process, or just anybody. This really is to say, if you practice these eight lessons, you’ll be a lot happier and you’ll make other people be a lot happier.” The eight lessons of the book are to smile, be kind, laugh a lot, think before you speak or act,

find out what excites you, give hugs, give the gift of hope and tell people you love them. George feels that these eight lessons are all things that Amelia and Tyson exemplified and that other children should learn. George has sold 400 copies, and a portion of every sale goes to the Amelia Center. “I’d like [readers] to take away that every day is precious and that you are to use it the best you can and that people are important,” George says. “You need to pay attention to them and never write

somebody off. They all have a story to tell.” George’s photography is still something he enjoys and participates in today. Although he used to use cameras such as the Nikon D300 and the Olympus Mark 5, he mainly just uses his iPhone to take pictures. He loves that he has a portable camera wherever he goes and believes that everyone should always have a camera with them; they never know what they might see. Some of his favorite things to photograph are flowers, coastal landscapes, old houses, barns,

nature, places he visits and cemetery angels. He even takes his photos to art shows and attends the Bluff Park Art Show yearly. His vibrant photos are simple and raw but tell a real story about humanity and the beauty of God’s creation. “I just take [pictures] because of the beauty of everything. I take a lot of it because my daughter never had the chance to see it,” George says. “You need to carry your camera wherever you go, and if you’re driving down the highway and you see something, like an old barn, you better go back

and take it because it may not be there next time.” Grief is never an easy journey, but George and Jerrie have managed to transform their grief into a legacy for their daughter and their grandson. George hopes that with his book and the Amelia Center, he is giving back to his community and helping them through their own grief as well.

She frequently shares her artwork on Instagram (@the_ esther_art). You can also find her book-inspired posts through the library’s Book Art Friday series (@vestaviahillslibrary). Here, read on to be prepared for the Halloween season with a few of Esther’s fantasy favorites.

The Graveyard Book

By Neil Gaiman | Fantasy Between being raised by ghosts and pursued by a dangerous man with a knife, one could say that Nobody “Bod” Owens has had a rather unusual upbringing. At first, Bod is content to explore the wonders and horrors of the graveyard under the protection of his mysterious guardian, Silas. But as he grows older, he begins to uncover the dark truth behind his family’s disappearance. Neil Gaiman’s unique takes on creatures such as ghosts, vampires and werewolves add an eerie charm to Bod’s story as he discovers the perils and joys of life beyond the graveyard.

The Imaginary

By A. F. Harrold | Fantasy Imaginary friends are just as good as real ones—that is, if you have an imagination like Amanda’s. The only problem is that no one else can see them…or so Amanda thought before Mr. Bunting and his eerily silent companion came for her imaginary friend, Rudger. When he finds himself alone, Rudger has to escape Mr. Bunting’s hungry pursuit and find Amanda before it’s too late.

Piranesi

By Susanna Clarke | Fantasy In the House’s endless labyrinth of hallways and statues, a man carefully charts the movements of his peaceful world: the patterns of the tides, the behavior of the animals and the words of the Other—the only person in the world besides himself. The Other calls him Piranesi, but that is not his name. Beneath Piranesi’s innocent perception of his surroundings lie many secrets, some evil and some beautiful.

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

By Jessica Townsend | Fantasy As the resident cursed child of Jackalfax, 10-year-old Morrigan Crow is blamed for all of the town’s troubles. Even worse, she’s predicted to die at midnight on her 11th birthday. But rather than meeting her demise when the clock strikes 12, Morrigan is rescued by a man whose ginger hair is as vibrant as his personality. Her eccentric new guardian, Jupiter, introduces her to the strange city of Nevermoor and chooses her to compete for a spot in the Wundrous Society—an exclusive organization for the exceptionally talented. Join Morrigan as she struggles to find her place in this magical new world.

The Night Gardener

By Jonathan Auxier | Fantasy Despite the townspeople’s warnings, Irish orphans Molly and Kip find their way to the mansion, a most unwelcoming new home. Overgrown grounds surround a strange and broken house, engulfed by an enormous black tree. However, the mansion’s forbidding exterior is nothing compared to the dark power that infects the family within and the sinister activities of the night man. Fans of folk tales and ghost stories will enjoy this book’s monstrous antagonist, whose cruelty is wonderfully contrasted by the bravery and compassion of the siblings who seek to rescue the mansion’s residents from destruction. 20 Fall 2026

ECHOES IN MOTION

From dance classes to end-of-the-year recitals, the Jackie O’Neal School of Dance has left its mark on generations. BY KATELYN SMITH PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 23

The Jackie O’Neal School of Dance has been fostering more than 20,000 students in dance for almost 80 years. Now owned by Nealey Towns Alonso, the studio has been in the family for three generations and remains a place where students not only develop dance skills, but also their confidence. Founded by the late Jackie O’Neal, the studio first opened in 1948 with two different locations: one in Manchester, Georgia, and one in Warm Springs, Georgia. After 12 years, she moved the studio to Decatur, Alabama, and later Birmingham. Originally, there were four smaller locations until they were condensed to their current location in Vestavia Hills, where it has been for 64 years. “I think [Jackie] founded the studio just from her love and movement and her genuine joy for working

with kids,” Nealey says. “She was so special and loved any opportunity to work with children.” Jackie served as a teacher for the dance studio for 50 years and was a very gifted dancer. Her daughter, Tammy O’Neal Towns, grew up dancing and became a dance teacher for Vestavia Hills High School. She also taught dance at Jackie O’Neal School of Dance before eventually becoming the owner in 2006, when her mom retired. In 2023, Tammy’s daughter, Nealey, took over the studio. Nealy had also grown up dancing like her mother and grandmother. She had even gone on to become a Tiger Paw at Auburn University, the school’s official dance team, and teach at the Broadway Dance Center in New York City. She eventually

returned to Jackie O’Neal School of Dance to teach before taking it over. “It’s such an honor to continue this beautiful legacy that was created,” Nealey says. “I love that we have dancers from 2 years old to 18 years old walk through our doors every day and to see their smiles and to see their growth and confidence and believe in themselves.” The studio wasn’t the only legacy Jackie created. She also founded Alabama Ambassadors, which was a troupe of dancers who performed in different countries to share fellowship through dance. Jackie, Tammy and Nealey were also all members of Dance Masters of America Chapter 33; Jackie and Tammy have been a part of it for 50 years. Dance has been a passion for all three of them,

and their devotion to the craft still shows throughout Jackie O’Neal School of Dance. With classes for dancers aged 2 to 18 years old, there’s a genre and style for everyone. Classes include ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, pointe, acrobatics and hip hop. Occasionally, the studio offers special classes for adults. Many times, Nealey has invited alumni to come back and take some of her classes. “I hope [students] take away a stronger sense of self-worth and of knowing themselves and knowing that they’re believed in and that they’re cared for,” Nealey says, later adding, “I think that’s one of the biggest things for me, just to watch the kids work so hard for certain technical elements or movement skills and then reach them. That’s the coolest thing.” VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 25

The teachers pour tons of their time and skill into teaching each student confidence and different techniques. Many of them are alumni who return to teach. Without the dedication of their many faculty and staff, Jackie O’Neal School of Dance wouldn’t have a strong foundation, Nealey says. Although dance classes foster the students’ skills and craft to prepare them for a future in dance, they

also provide opportunities for students to build lifelong friendships. Nealey and the other teachers at the studio love to form connections with the students and families that walk into the studio. It’s relationships like these that keep Jackie O’Neal School of Dance flourishing. One of Nealey’s favorite memories of the studio was when they used to travel with their students to

It was a way to connect with the community and bring joy to the residents. “That was so rewarding and so special to just to be in the community and spend time with some of our elderly and connect with them,” Nealey says. “Those are really special memories.” Nealey also recalls when the kids at the dance studio surprised her with balloons and sweet treats for her 30th birthday. They had even decorated a tank top for her. The thought and care poured into the gesture touched her heart. The connection between the students and staff at the studio means a lot to her. “I love being able to connect with so many incredible young kids all the way through young adults and beyond,” she says. “I love getting to know every student that walks through these doors,

that go on to be wonderful mothers, doctors, surgeons, nurses, teachers, and we certainly have dancers that continue to go on and dance at the collegiate level and professionally. I think overall just what they gained as a human and take into the world as a stronger version of themselves is what it’s all about.” At the end of the school year in May, all the teachers and dancers’ hard work is shown at their

spring recital. Hosted at the Alabama Theatre in downtown Birmingham, the recital is a showcase of everything the dancers have learned in front of a live audience. This weekend of tradition consists of two performances and hundreds of families and community members show up to support the students. It’s incredibly rewarding for the weekly dance classes to turn into a full, polished show where the students can really shine.

It’s such an honor to continue this beautiful legacy that was created. I love that we have dancers from 2 years old to 18 years old walk through our doors every day and to see their smiles and to see their growth and confidence and believe in themselves. -Nealey Towns Alonso

Former students will bring their kids to their classes, and to Nealey, that is the studio’s greatest accomplishment and a testament to the love they foster backstage. “The core of who we are, Jackie O’Neal School of Dance, has always remained the same,” Nealey

says. “The culture is inviting and supportive and loving and caring. It’s important that all of our kids walk into class and feel loved and seen and cared for.” Jackie O’Neal School of Dance is located at 3336 Rocky Ridge Plaza in Vestavia Hills.

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR

Amy Hollar

2026 National STEM Scholar & Liberty Park Middle School Teacher PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

The National STEM Scholar Program recently awarded 10 educators across the country its prestigious STEM Scholar Award, and Liberty Park Middle School science teacher Amy Hollar was one of those few recipients. Amy was honored for her classroom proposal, “Challenge Project,” that highlights teachers with ideas to make positive, lasting experiences for students and to encourage interest and excitement in science, technology, engineering and math career paths. Here, Amy discusses her gratitude for being awarded and her love for teaching. What is your favorite unit or concept to teach all year? Genetics is one of my favorite units to teach because it gives students so many opportunities to investigate questions that connect directly to their lives. I especially enjoy using gel electrophoresis, models, simulations and problem-solving activities to help students understand complex concepts. Watching students move from simply learning vocabulary to using How did it feel being named a 2026 evidence to explain genetic patterns is incredibly rewarding. National STEM Scholar? Being named a 2026 National STEM Scholar was incredibly meaningful. I was What memory or interaction with your honored to be recognized alongside other students left an indelible impact on educators who are committed to providing you? I genuinely love what I do, especially students with authentic STEM experiences. More than anything, I see the opportunity when I get to witness students genuinely as a way to expand what is possible in my engaging with the material. Over the years, classroom and bring innovative, hands-on I’ve accumulated so many wonderful learning experiences to my students that memories both inside and outside the classroom. My absolute favorites are the they may not otherwise have access to. What led to your becoming a teacher? I fell in love with the idea of teaching after reading “The Water is Wide” by Pat Conroy. What excited me most was the opportunity to combine my love of science with creativity, problem-solving and relationships. Every student brings something different to the classroom, and I love creating experiences that help them discover what they can do.

moments when a student connects what we’re learning to their own life— transforming biology from “something to memorize” into something deeply meaningful. It is especially rewarding when students feel comfortable sharing their own genetic or health experiences and see their classmates gain a deeper, more empathetic understanding of them as a result. What do you hope your students gain from taking your class? I hope my students gain more than just an understanding of the content. Most importantly, I hope they learn that it is okay to make mistakes, ask questions and challenge themselves. I want them to see that learning can be enjoyable and that the skills they develop in my classroom— curiosity, perseverance, critical thinking and confidence—can serve them well beyond the classroom.

34 Fall 2026

With new weekly food and drink specials, an enlarged outdoor patio space and Sunday brunch, The Local Bourbon House & Eatery in Vestavia Hills is going through some exciting changes under the new general manager, Sam Jones. While customers can expect to taste and see new things at the eatery, the quality of the food will stay the same—something Sam has known the importance of since he was a kid. Food has always been an integral part of Sam’s life. His mother was a chef, so he grew up in and around restaurants and cooking. That continued as he got older and worked as a server, bartender, line cook, kitchen manager and general manager for various restaurants. “I fell in love with the commercial side of restaurants very quickly,” Sam says. “I took my experience working in both the front and back of house and merged those together to work in restaurant management at local and corporate spots.” When he wasn’t at his job, Sam often frequented

The Local. After talking with the owner, Kiran Sunkavalli, about ideas for the restaurant, Sam says they realized they were on the same page and decided to work together. This past June, Sam became the general manager of The Local and has started implementing changes to the eatery. “Kiran has a vision for the restaurant, and I implement that and work with him to make this place exciting and fun with a great menu and fantastic customer experience,” Sam says. Originally named Hillside Music & Que before rebranding last year, The Local is best known for its savory burgers, refreshing drinks and meat-andthree meals. Sam kept those core items the same and trimmed down other dishes from the menu to focus on what they do best. The Double Smash burger remains one of their most popular menu items, with options like The Popper burger—which is served with cheddar, bacon, jalapeño poppers and pepper jelly—and the Bacon Me Crazy burger with cheddar, bacon, bacon mayo and bacon jam. The Plain Jane burger offers a VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 35

Chef’s Picks

Need some recommendations for what to try at The Local Bourbon House & Eatery? Here are a few of our favorite menu items. With a little bit of everything, the Local Sampler comes with crispy fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers (a personal favorite) and chips and queso. The Smash Burger is always a good choice, and we especially enjoy the Local Burger with American cheese, pickles, grilled onions and house-made smash sauce. But for a truly special sandwich, try the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with grilled onions, peppers and cheese on an Amoroso roll. Paired with fries and a frozen key lime drink or bushwhacker, this savory sandwich is hard to beat. Still, no meal is complete without one of Mama Suz’s Fried Pies, especially the apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

more traditional option with American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. For all of their smash burgers, they use two, 3.5-ounce ground chuck patties on a brioche bun with fresh, made-fromscratch toppings. “If you take the right ingredients and treat them well, you are going to get a great dish,” Sam says. “We spend the extra money on ingredients to make sure every dish will knock your socks off.” By popular demand, they offer a meat-and-three

plate four days a week with items like country fried steak, catfish, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, green beans, collard greens, cornbread and other rotating southern dishes. The family-friendly restaurant also includes a kid’s menu with items such as chicken fingers, cheeseburger, grilled cheese and mini corn dogs, all served with a side. Whether enjoying a night out with the family or watching the big game with friends, guests can start out their meal with a variety of shareable options. They offer appetizers like mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, fried pickles, chips and queso, loaded fries, onion tanglers, chicken tenders and wings. Their beer-brined wings are tossed in sauces like buffalo, dry lemon pepper or gochujang. “I really do love everything on the menu,” Sam says. “The Philly Cheesesteak is my favorite, but the burger is hard to beat, too.” For a lighter meal, guests can choose between the Caesar salad or The Local salad, which includes bacon, shredded cheddar, red onion, tomatoes and croutons. They can add fried or grilled chicken to either salad and choose from a variety of dressings. After their meal, they can enjoy desserts like root beer floats and Mama Suz’s Fried Pies, which are handmade in Pelham. The pies come in flavors like

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR

Tyre Stuckey

Founder and Co-Owner of The Kitchen by Market PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Believing food brings people together, Tyre Stuckey conceptualized several business concepts to facilitate his customers’ everyday life. After the success of his first location, Market, Tyre partnered with Christopher Moses—a native “Vestavian” with an incredible culinary background—to build a place where convenience never comes at the expense of quality and where customers feel like neighbors. In June 2026, The Kitchen by Market opened at 1031 Montgomery Highway. Here, Tyre expands on this service-first philosophy. How did you decide on Vestavia Hills to expand “Market?” Since Christopher grew up here, he understood the community, the families and what people were looking for in a fresh food concept. Another reason the community was so attractive is because of the incredible network of local vendors we work with. We proudly partner with more than 30 Alabamaowned businesses, and more than half of those owners either live in the city or have deep roots in this community. They pour their passion into everything they create, and we’re honored to provide another place for them to share their products. What types of take-home meals and cuisine can shoppers expect? Customers will find chef-prepared, graband-go meals, protein-packed wraps, fresh salads, healthy bowls, premium Linz meats, fully cooked Franklin chicken, house-made sides, protein snacks, beverages and rotating seasonal offerings. Christopher has played a

tremendous role in developing our menu. His vision has always been to create food that’s approachable, flavorful and made with quality ingredients. What is your favorite menu item, and what does it pair well with? Our premium Linz meats alongside our fully cooked Franklin chicken are both exceptional products. Pair either one with our incredible stuffed potatoes, and you’ve got an easy, restaurant-quality meal at home in just minutes. Whether you’re grilling a beautiful Linz steak or warming up our Franklin chicken, you’re getting restaurantquality ingredients with the convenience people need today. What do you think is the most beneficial aspect of The Kitchen by Market’s niche, community feel compared to shopping at larger retailers? We’re focused on being the place people trust for great food and genuine service. That

perspective influences everything from the menu to the customer experience. The same goes for our vendors. They aren’t just companies we buy from—they’re our friends and fellow small business owners. When customers shop with us, they’re supporting dozens of local entrepreneurs. What would you like to say to customers for their support? Thank you for believing in us. You’ve allowed us to create something that celebrates local businesses and makes it easier for families to enjoy exceptional food. Our promise is remain a business that Vestavia Hills and Mountain Brook can be proud to call their own for years to come. The Kitchen by Market is located at 1031 Montgomery Highway in Vestavia Hills. It is open every day from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. For more information, follow Market Mountain Brook, the business’ shared page, on Facebook. VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 41

HOME

HEARTH & HEIRLOOMS Daniell and Ellie Burton’s elegant home is rich in architectural detail as it is in tributes to their loved ones. BY ANNA GRACE BREEDLOVE PHOTOS BY BLAIR RAMSEY VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 43

Lifelong “Vestavians” Daniell and Ellie Burton believe there is no greater way to cherish a community than by honoring those who strengthen its ties. Both Vestavia Hills High School graduates, Daniell attended the University of Alabama, initially planning to pursue a career in accounting before choosing to follow in his father Taylor Burton’s footsteps. Founded in 1986, Taylor Burton Company is one of Birmingham’s premier home building and renovation companies, serving primarily clients in Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook and Homewood. Taylor first learned the trade from his father Dan, making Daniell the third generation of a family legacy founded on expert craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. As a project manager, Daniell works one on one with clients and oversees projects from start to finish, relishing in their satisfaction after they witness their dreams come to fruition. An Auburn University alumna, Ellie also works for Taylor Burton Company as the head of marketing. She also operates her own dance business from her home studio, teaching dance team etiquette and preparation for aspiring students. Having danced all her youth and performing on her middle school’s, high school’s and college’s dance teams, she finds fulfillment in helping young dancers

achieve their goals and watching them grow in their talent. Although they grew up just minutes from one another, Daniell and Ellie did not officially get to know each other until after they both graduated from college. While working for Birmingham nonprofit Smile-A-Mile, Ellie recruited Daniell to serve on the nonprofit’s junior board. Sparks flew, and just a few short years later, they got engaged. Around that time, Taylor Burton Company was developing a newbuild community near the Rocky Ridge area. Taylor offered to help the couple design and build their first home together, and they happily accepted. Daniell centered design plans around their everyday lifestyle, prioritizing an open-concept floor plan, a main-level master bedroom, a spacious basement for Ellie’s dance studio and decent yardage on either side of the home. Construction began in early 2023 and finished in early 2024, just months after the couple’s October 2023 wedding. Today, Daniell and Ellie’s home reflects their personalities—warm, inviting, every detail intentional. Filled with family heirlooms and inspiring artwork, their home pays tribute both to the people who have invested in their shared journey and the people who cross its threshold that they hope to bless.

Entryway Swaths of natural light engulf the entryway and its seating area with warm ambiance as pops of color exude from curated pieces. The burlwood console anchors the space, and Ellie’s collection of books and trinkets, along with the gorgeous, pastel abstract painting by Sally Neal Design, welcomes guests with a sense of whimsicality. Adjacent to the entryway, the stairwell creates a striking first impression; its wrought iron balusters and curved handrailing are compliments of CH Welding Custom Iron Work. The most fascinating focal point, however, is the dazzling chandelier cascading down from the 22-foot-ceiling in the stairwell. VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 45

Dining Area The couple’s dining room set and vases were given to them by family members. Ellie framed the acrylic floral arrangements on the dining area’s walls.

Kitchen Trees from the original lot were repurposed into the floating shelves and ceiling beams, which were hand cut and milled by Taylor. The couple opted for white oak flooring all throughout the home, matching the wood for the cabinetry and pairing it with Breve quartz countertops and unlacquered Newport brass hardware for their sink. The room casts a warm glow, thanks to fixtures from Mayer Lighting. The couple’s framed wedding invitation, along with their pink decanter, wine glasses and KitchenAid mixer, were all wedding gifts and are the perfect dose of joy for the space. 48 Fall 2026

Screened Porch One of Daniell’s favorite rooms in the house is the screened porch. It provides the perfect view of the autumn months’ landscape and even nearby deer scampering through the woods. On the coffee table, a bowl of allium flowers and moss adds a feminine touch to the space, contrasting nicely with the more masculine fireplace’s bluestone ashlar design.

Nurtured Blessings Piddlin Art and Antique strives to inspire creativity in all who cross its threshold.

By Anna Grace Breedlove | Photos by Kelsea Schafer

VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 55

The seed of creativity was sowed in Carol Rumore’s heart long ago. An artist of more than four decades, Carol has poured her talents into Piddlin Art and Antique, a business that has evolved just as Vestavia Hills has nurtured the arts in rising generations. She recalls her mother always “piddlin” around, making crafty pieces, and her father sketching clever signs for his family’s grocery store. The brainchild of two innovative souls, Carol began capitalizing on her talent in high school, where her art teacher first introduced her to art shows. Beginning her collegiate career at the University of Alabama, she later transferred to UAB, majoring in art history and minoring in art. No matter what

56 Fall 2026

path she chose to pursue, Carol says she always knew art would be a driving force in her life. As a young mother in the 1980s, Carol noticed there were not many places to buy art supplies, except for one place in downtown Birmingham. Determined to change this, she opened a craft store, Piddlin, in Vestavia Hills in 1986. “At that time, my son and daughter were in preschool, so my hours were their hours,” she explains. “It was like a four-hour window that we were open. We served the community, and we did fairly well. We had classes, kids’ birthday parties.” Then in the early ‘90s, she relocated the business to its current building, occupying the lower level.

Day by day, she began meeting new customers and forming relationships with nearly everyone who walked through her doors. “We kind of grew with the community, and everybody would come here,” she says. As time went on, Carol expanded her business, offering art and smocking supplies, handmade pieces and screen printing. This all came to a halt, however, when her first grandchild was on the way. She decided to close Piddlin in 2006 to focus on her family, never thinking she would return. In 2021, tragedy struck the Rumore family, when Carol’s husband Phillip was called home to heaven. No stranger to grief, Carol relied on her faith as she navigated the years that followed.

In her written testimony, she says, “Sometimes when we question our direction or ideas, God gives us a sign to guide us if we just pay attention. Upon contemplating to go forward or stop this roller coaster adventure of starting this business, I had one of those signs from above. A cardinal kept appearing very insistently in the face of a camera.” Carol says cardinals are a sign of angels above and someone that one loves. The day she first saw the bird outside her home happened to be the day she was contemplating reopening Piddlin. “My thoughts right before that were of my mother and how if she were still with us, she’d love to be able to help, and of my dad whom I feel would encourage me to pursue this path,” Carol says in VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 57

her written testimony. “So, I took that as a sign to move forward.” In 2024, Carol reopened and rebranded her craft store as Piddlin Art and Antique. Today, the store offers art supplies, antiques, handmade jewelry, paintings, pottery, handcrafted items, one-sizefits-all clothing and more. Currently, the store has seven different vendors including Fran Ross Robertson, Hunter Coward, Mary Young, Cheryl Blackwell, Forever Flower Charms, Chi Ranieri and Ada Hudson. Ada, who owns Bloom & Grow, rents part of the space as an independent florist. She creates 58 Fall 2026

bouquets and arrangements for all different occasions. Hunter Coward’s pottery features a niche selection, with mugs and handpainted oyster shells being quite popular among locals. One of the most unique artists, Cheryl Blackwell’s handcrafted brooches and tabletop furnishings feature golden bees, each one meticulously designed. Not only does Carol work with local artists, but

she also seeks out small, independent businesses all over the world. A collection of nativity scenes made in Kenya adorns one whole wall in her store. “I try to support people that make handcrafted things like the villages in Kenya,” she explains. “I buy a lot from them. I buy a lot from people that support charities.” Piddlin Art and Antique now also offers

watercolor and mahjong classes. Soon, after-school art classes and quilting classes may be available as well. However, none of this, Carol says, would be possible without the Lord. “God is good,” she says, smiling. “I’m so blessed. I’ve just been blessed my whole life. I’ve just been blessed to have everything that I have.” After Phillip’s passing, Carol says she struggled not to let grief consume her. In the midst of her

60 Fall 2026

anguish, she experienced some pretty cool “Godwinks.” While on a trip to Italy, she sat in the freezing cold at a bus stop with absolutely no bus in sight. “My husband had already passed away,” she explains. “I had gone with another couple. My husband had a thing with rose petals for St. Therese, and I have a thing with yellow roses. On the ground that day where the bench was, there were red and yellow rose petals. I thought we were

God is good. I’m so blessed. I’ve just been blessed my whole life. I’ve just been blessed to have everything that I have. -Carol Rumore

lost as if the bus was not coming to get us, but when I saw that, it was all good.” This moment inspired one of her favorite paintings to date: the scene depicting how the Lord renewed her strength. “Other than the impetus to (reopen), that was a Godwink for sure,” Carol says. “There are times that I don’t want to do this anymore, but I keep going because people depend on it.” Feeling called to bless others, Carol began

sponsoring charity events and community outreach programs. She especially loves supporting the arts. The Birmingham Boys Choir now operates out of the lower level of her building, and Carol is one of its volunteers, having witnessed how director Ken Berg made a positive impact in both of her children’s lives. She loves hearing the sounds of music and the boys’ voices in her store; they are a sweet reminder of just how nice it is to give back to the community.

More Alabamians Now Qualify for Prescription Drug Savings There’s good news for Alabamians living with limited income and resources. The Medicare Extra Help program—also known as LIS—expanded in 2025. If your income is below 150% of the federal poverty level, you may now qualify for full Extra Help benefits. This means you could pay lower or no premiums, reduced Part D drug copays and reduced or no Part D deductible for your prescriptions. Many people don’t realize they’re eligible—so it’s worth checking. For example, in 2025, individuals earning less than $23,475 per year (or couples earning less than $31,725 per year) may qualify as long as your assets are below the specified limits. You could save hundreds of dollars each year on the medications you rely on! To see if you qualify for Extra Help, call: The Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213, between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778.

HIT THE ROAD

Touchdown Towns

68 Fall 2026

Where will your weekends take you this fall? With autumn months comes the South’s Saturday ritual of tuning in to their favorite college team’s football games. This year, hit the road and experience the game day atmosphere live and in person. Let this guide help you plan your trip to a nearby college town and read on for details and traditions of several Southeastern Conference (SEC) teams. By Kate Seaver | Photos by Avery Bane-Tennessee Athletics, Hunter Peacock, Jason Homan, Rachel Carswell/ Visit Auburn-Opelika, Steven Bearden Photography, The Bell Hotel, UGA Sports Communications, Visit Auburn-Opelika, Visit Knoxville, Visit Oxford MS, Visit Starkville & Visit Tuscaloosa VestaviaHillsMagazine.com 69

HIT THE ROAD

Bryant-Denny Stadium

TUSCALOOSA Closest to the greater Birmingham area is the University of Alabama, located in Tuscaloosa. Although their mascot Big Al is an elephant, they’re more commonly known as the Crimson Tide. The Tide play at Bryant-Denny Stadium, with over 100,000 seats that fans regularly fill up. Dress to represent the team with the classic crimson and white school colors or houndstooth print, popularized by former coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, and learn the song “Dixieland Delight” to feel right at home. For a convenient accommodation close to the action, stay at the Hotel Capstone, which is currently rebranding to Graduate by Hilton. The hotel is located on campus and within walking distance of the stadium. Dine at Avenue Pub for traditional American fare, or try the Thai nachos or pepper jelly chicken sandwich. Need a break from the action? Walk along The Riverwalk, the paved trail along the Black Warrior River near downtown.

Jordan-Hare Stadium

AUBURN The next closest SEC destination is the Loveliest Village on the Plains, Auburn University. Just about two hours away from the Birmingham area, the Auburn Tigers play in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Their loud chants of War Eagle originated with an eagle of a Civil War veteran that became their symbol of good luck. Official school colors are orange and navy blue. Stay a short walk away from the stadium at The Collegiate Hotel, a former Auburn dorm renovated by alumni. For a good meal to fuel up before the game, visit the classic Toomer’s Drugs on the corner between campus and downtown. Founded as a drug store in 1896, the establishment Toomer’s Drugs

now serves fresh lemonade, food, ice cream and Auburn memorabilia.

Toomer’s Corner

If the Tigers win, be prepared for the classic tradition of rolling Toomer’s Corner with toilet paper hanging from the tree branches. The Collegiate Hotel

HIT THE ROAD Davis Wade Stadium

STARKVILLE Less than two and half hours from Birmingham are the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville, Mississippi, occasionally referred to by the nickname, StarkVegas. The Bulldogs play at Davis Wade Stadium in their classic school colors of maroon and white. Mississippi State’s most iconic traditions include the cowbells ringing in victory and the chant of their fight song and slogan, “Hail State.” For a quaint hotel in walking distance from everything on campus and in town, stay at the restored Hotel Chester. Eat some fabulous barbecue at Two Brothers Smoked Meats, where every meal is a hit, especially the pulled pork sandwich.

Hotel Chester

Two Brothers Smoked Meats

OXFORD

Just under three hours from Birmingham is the town of Oxford, Mississippi, home of the University of Mississippi “Ole Miss” Rebels. The Rebels play at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Before donning cardinal red and navy blue, learn the words to the “Hotty Toddy” chant. Before kickoff, the entire stadium will lock arms and sway as they sing “Come With Me.”

Vaught-Hemingway Stadium

Bouré

72 Fall 2026

Have a Creole-inspired dinner at Bouré, and eat shrimp and grits and jambalaya on the large balcony overlooking the historic Square. Also located in the Square, The Oliver Hotel is the perfect place to stay on your Oxford visit.

ATHENS

The Bell

Only three and a half hours from Birmingham is Athens, Georgia, home of the University of Georgia Bulldogs. The Dawgs play at Sanford Stadium among a large sea of fans clothed in the school colors of red and black.

Paloma Park

Right before kickoff, point to the trumpeter from the band playing “Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation.” After a major win, head to the Chapel Bell as the fans continue an old tradition of ringing the bell throughout the night. For a unique stay close to campus, try The Bell hotel, originally a phone and telegraph building from 1916. While in Athens, make sure to try Taqueria Del Sol and taste the enchiladas and house margarita. Another fun dinner option is Paloma Park for Tex-Mex and live music.

Sanford Stadium

knoxville Farthest from Birmingham on this roundup, but close to many hearts, is the University of Tennessee Volunteers, in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Vols are around four hours away, but the drive is worth seeing the iconic checkered end zones at Neyland Stadium.

The Volunteers’ live mascot is Smokey the bluetick coonhound. Make sure to learn the words to “Rocky Top,” as it will play after each touchdown every game. For the ultimate Tennessee experience, stay at the Graduate Knoxville to fully

get in the mood for your game day. Try eating at Sunspot on the edge of campus for a Southwestern, Caribbean and Latin American meal and daily drink specials. While you’re in town, hit up Knoxville’s Market Square for shops and other restaurants.

This past year I managed social media for TPUSA at Auburn, where I created content for Instagram and TikTok, promoted events, and helped increase member engagement through digital marketing. I also served as a Sales & Merchandise Intern with Cosmic Baseball, where I worked directly with fans, supported merchandise sales, and contributed to creating an exciting game-day experience. Through these experiences, I've developed a passion for sports marketing and sales. I love meeting new people, building genuine relationships, and creating positive experiences for others.

MY VESTAVIA

SUZANNE SCOTT-TRAMMELL

Vestavia Hills Methodist Church Director of Connectional Ministries

Eat Local

A Bit of Everything I have lots of favorite restaurants! I love everything at Bistro V, but sitting outside with my family and seeing Sara and her crew at Samurai Japan can’t be beat—the volcano roll is delish! I’ve also developed a love for Donato’s cauliflower crust pizza.

Fellowship in Community

I Love America Night My favorite event is I Love America Night, which brings our community out in masses for a sweaty evening of inflatables, food, music and fun! I love that we saluted our veterans this year with good-looking hats. The culmination with fireworks tops it off!

Sentimental Spots

Prayer Chapel My favorite spot is the small prayer chapel at VHMC, which is open to the public 24/7. My husband proposed there 26 years ago, as we knelt in prayer, and I’ve seen people who aren’t members of the church entering to pray. How great is that—prayer and worship beyond denominational lines!

Serving Local Patrons

Vestavia Hills Methodist Church My job involves community outreach and welcoming guests to the church. We host recovery, support and community groups, and I am blessed to welcome them into God’s House. Who could ask for a better job than opening the church doors with the love and grace of Jesus?

Get Outdoors

My Neighborhood My neighborhood is my favorite outdoor place. I love to start the day with an invigorating walk— backwards and sideways, up and down the beautiful hills of Vestavia. I’ve kind of developed a bizarre reputation for it! However, the birds, the flowers and trees and the neighbors make it great!
