Trees of Christmas at Merrehope

002
"Merrehope", is Meridian's beautiful antebellum home. Every year, it hosts "The Trees of Christmas"

012
I toured it today and wanted to show you some pictures of it. This is the front parlor.

The red glass in the door is original to the house.

Dining Room

010
I love the colors they used in here.

011



007
Decorating in DR was done by a local decorating shop.





025
This was my favorite room. When a wedding is held here, the bride uses this room to dress, etc.

021
This year's theme was Movies and Broadway Musicals. Each tree is dedicated to one movie. This tree's movie was "Legally Blonde" It's pink because that was El's favorite color.



022
They did the whole room with El's stuff. See her glasses and computer?


028
Here's here "Harvard" banner and BIG pink rollers! :)

031
This tree was "Yankee Doodle Dandy" Ornaments are made by local students.

039
This room and tree was from "The Secret Garden" It was really pretty.

036


Love that sunny bay window.


I hope you enjoyed the tour. I'm joining Beverly for "Pink Saturday" today. Thanks for stopping by.

 Also showing my "Home for the Holidays" so this is the kitchen  and table for this year.

 The centerpiece is mostly thrift store finds from this year.
(Oops! I forgot to take off the $1.00 sign from the Santa plate :)

I wanted to add a tree to the sunroom this year. Old red quilt pillows are a recent, wonderful find, and they were a great price, too.

I SINCERELY HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND GOOD NEW YEAR

My new chalkboard. I wanted to do one of the cute print outs that  lots of people are doing this year, but I had to settle for this "artwork" from the grandgirls. :)

I'm joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Susan's for all the fun!

Hi, I'm joining "Rednesday" for some reds I've spotted here and there this season. Thanks, Sue.
I love this primitive sign. Does anybody know where I can get one?

A house using RED for Christmas. I loved the front porch. Those are covers for rocking chairs.
