Merry Christmastide

I need to
thank you.

I need to tell you how much I appreciate
your friendship and encouragement,
your prayers and support,
your love and generosity,

and your inspiration.

I truly believe that God led me to the blogging world
as a way of melding me with some amazing relationships
with fellow sisters-in-Christ ~
who not only have an appreciation for the beautiful world around them,
but for creating peaceful and meaningful atmospheres in their homes.

 Thank you.

You are treasured.

“God carries in His heart the fulfillment 

to all the desires He has placed within yours.”

May the desires of your heart be fulfilled beyond comprehension this joyful Christmas season.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…
that whoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.
John 3:16


Merry Christmas!

Silent Night

"Silent Night

     Holy Night..."

Heaven's Walk Joyeux Noel house tour
continues with a look at the bedrooms.

As we head up the stairs,

there are three little cedar saplings nestled in vintage pots

 on the windowsill at the landing ~

complete with a little jingle bling.

A peek into the guest room

reveals more simple, nature-inspired Christmas decor.
Things that I will probably keep out all winter long
because of their simplicity.

A rustic wire gathering basket on the bedside table holds my JDA magazines.

The beautiful grain sack coverlet on the bed 
is from Michele's wonderful Etsy shop,
maisondemichele.
Three grain sacks were sewn together to create this wonderful linen.

The linen/hemp is luscious feeling to the touch.
It's heavy and clean and crisp feeling.

This just may travel to the master bedroom eventually...
or even across the back of the sofa in the living room ~
but for now
I love seeing it as I pass the door of the guest room
at the top of the stairs.

Wire heart: Faded Plains

A simple burlap wrapped pistol pine tree sits in a chippy urn
on top of the dresser with a vintage mirror and frame.

"All is calm..."


The master bedroom has a little more sparkle
with a mercury glass candlestick standing
next to an old, worn candlestick
atop the frantel headboard.

Yes, that is a vintage frantel-turned-headboard.

The library-door-turned-footboard is completed and will be attached very soon.

You can see how we made the headboard here.

The wreath is actually two wreaths bound together ~
one being white pip berries
and the other magnolia leaves.

Mercury candlestick: Target; wooden candlestick:  Hobby Lobby; wood salvage piece: antique market

A small faux fir was plunked into a vintage bucket
and trimmed with simple small white lights.
I topped with a small pair of angel wings purchased
at Target.
They remind me of the larger pair of "Toby Wings" that
Sandi sent me that hang on the birdcage in the kitchen.

I wanted a little reminder of my sweet boy as I slipped off
to dreamland every night.

"All is bright..."

"Sleep in heavenly peace..."

Christmastide at Heaven's Walk


Simple.
Natural.
French-Nordic.
Garden inspired.
Peaceful.
Calm.
Bright.



If you missed the tour of the other rooms,
you can see the kitchen here,

and the living room here .

 Peace to all of you, my dear friends.

May you experience the joy, wonder,

and true meaning of Christmas

during this blessed season!
