This gingerbread scrollwork is a little different that what you would normally see. This will be a monogram design, integrating the initials of the homeowners into the scrollwork design of gingerbread. If you have special request for unique designs to personalize your home, give me a call.

Each gingerbread frame is 12 feet long. While I had the idea for the corner brackets and out initials, once the frame was made Gina thought that maybe a centerpiece would be a good idea. We were just going to do some curly swirls then I thought about putting the balsam fir Christmas tree in it as well. In the end, this is what we come up with. The tree represents the Christmas trees that surround the property and the swirls represent the wind. That’s appropriate too because there is wind here!

It took some time to design, cut and install. Well worth the effort!
