After a two-year absence, one of the area’s most heartwarming holiday celebrations returns when Mary’s Home of the Treasure Coast presents We’ve Made Room at the Inn.

Local businessman and philanthropist Steven Vitale has given the nonprofit access to his award-winning Inn and guest houses on Seminole Street and Colorado Avenue, which in turn have been spectacularly decorated by some of the Treasure Coast’s most respected designers. Divine Designs of the Treasure Coast -Trisha Piazza, Wonder Walls by Nikki K Interiors and Doris Clements Interiors have offered their expertise and talent and the result is charming cottages with Christmas décor that have no equal. The Ernest Lyons House will be decorated by the residents and staff of Mary’s Home.

The houses will be open from 11 a.m.- 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 and from noon – 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11.

The Old Colorado Inn is located at 211 S. Colorado Avenue in Stuart.

Tickets are $50 per person and include yummy Christmas treats, a raffle ticket for a Christmas Tree decorated by Dana Godfrey of Treasure Coast Home and Décor, as well as assorted holiday and gift baskets and entertainment provided by choirs and bands from local churches and schools.

Sponsorship opportunities for We’ve Made Room at the Inn are available at a variety of levels. Tickets can be purchased online at www.maryshome.org or at the door.

Now in its second decade, the role of Mary’s Home remains the same: to provide homeless, pregnant women with the support and guidance they need to become self-sufficient and make good choices for themselves and their children. To learn more, visit www.maryshome.org.
