Home illustrated for client by pve design for holiday greeting card
We all know the type of place that is "gated" and causes one to stop and stare. A wrought iron gate has always held curb appeal for me. There is a certain charm of the barrier without being uninviting. This gate says, "welcome" - come in for some holiday cheer, a cup of eggnog perhaps. "Wrought-up" - and stressed out with all the holiday wrapping and doing, please push open that gate, ease on down the brick path to a gentler and kinder time.
A time to make merry - leave your cares at the gate or better yet, leave a comment.
Yes there is something to be said about the wrought iron gate and brick walkway. I love them both.
ReplyDeleteI would love to walk through this gate for a glass of eggnog and a cookie or two!
Have a golden day! xoxo
Oh I love yards with a pretty fence (not huge walls!). I recently had to do some research for a white picket fence that wasn't 'cutesey' or cottagey for a project of a very grand, historic mansion we're renovating -it opened my eyes to the possibilities!
ReplyDeletejoyce-
ReplyDeleteyes, would be nice to enjoy a cup of holiday cheer with you.

I love fences like that too. Hope your holiday preparations are coming along nicely Patricia! We haven't had mail in almost a week due to snow and I'm starting to get worried about receiving a few things; otherwise we're set and happy. xoxo
ReplyDeletethe wrought iron does add a special bit of flare!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I see a lovely designed Christmas card by PVE in the stars for this family next year. Can't wait!

Working on being less wrought up right now! I love the holidays but I hate the stress - I'll take a clue from you and try to relax.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful as always, Patricia. I am all for leaving my cares outside the gate! I'll drop them right now! Hope you and your family have the best Christmas ever and a very blessed New Year!
