AN OLD SCHOOLHOUSE TRANSFORMED WITH CHRISTMAS CHARM

Owners of a giftware business, Harriet and Lachman Campbell purchased this former schoolhouse and renovated it. During Christmas the home bustles with children coming home from school, and the aroma of cinnamon, greenery, and baked goods in the air provides the perfect backdrop for the festivities. ENJOY!













Wouldn't you love to come home to this home during the holidays?

See you soon,
Teresa
