A Very Merry Christmas!~

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!~


It is our very first holiday season of being entrusted with this 101 year old building.


While still figuring out the ins and outs of the wiring, lighting, repairs needed and more, we couldn't let the season go by without adding a little holiday cheer...



Just love the details of the side doors and can't wait to paint them with fresh paint in the spring.



While working with some wonderfully talented local florists over the holidays, a co-designer and friend heard me discuss my budget conscience decorating ideas for the building this first season of ownership.  She created these fabulous boxwood wreaths for the front doors of the church!~  I love them and love her for making them for us!~






I'm pretty sure that these metal posts once held a connecting piece and signage. For now, I added box elder tree twigs to make an arch. I intended on adding greens and twinkle lights, but electric issues are complicating my lovely plans.


Perhaps next year, we will have wreaths complete with beautiful bows in the windows.... 


and a fancier light fixture above this stained glass window...



For now, I'm thankful for angels with bells in windows,


doors to paint fresh in the spring,


architecturally appealing designs, regardless of chipped paint...


jingle bells, pine cones and red berries on red doors...


Merry Christmas to all!~ 
May your holiday season be filled with true Hope, Joy and Peace.
